Frankfurt/Munich, 25 June 2021. "Connect! The Smart TV Award" goes into the second round. MEDIENTAGE MÜNCHEN and the Deutsche TV-Plattform will once again present the Smart TV Award for special innovations, apps and services related to connected television.
Frankfurt, 9 June 2021: Almost one in five TV viewers (19 percent) stream live sports broadcasts via apps on their TV instead of via the classic distribution channels satellite, cable, IPTV or DVB-T2 HD.
The share of UHD TVs in the overall TV market continues to grow. According to GfK SE, a total of around 1.45 million TV sets were sold in Germany in the first quarter of 2021.
At the beginning of 2021, Deutsche TV-Plattform welcomes a new member: SmarDTV Global SAS. The company, which is based near Marseille, develops devices for the reception of pay-TV, such as CI Plus modules.
According to GfK, 20 percent more smart TVs were sold in Germany in 2020 than in the previous year (5.5 million), with around 6.6 million TV sets sold.
The restrictions in public life due to the Covid 19 pandemic continue to provide momentum in the business with TV sets at the end of 2020.
