The Apple TV app is being made available to hotel guests on a range of Philips MediaSuite hospitality TVs.
PPDS, the exclusive global provider of Philips professional TV and digital signage products, has added the app. Philips MediaSuite TVs now offer all the major streaming services, including Disney+, Amazon Prime and Netflix. Additional apps are available through the Google Play store.
Jeroen Verhaeghe, International Business Manager for Hospitality, PPDS, who is also behind the product commented: “I am absolutely delighted that we can now offer access to the Apple TV app, which features Apple TV+, one of the world’s most popular TV streaming services, to Philips MediaSuite. Bringing even more choice to hotel guests by allowing them to stream the content they enjoy, in the ways they want. Heightened by the pandemic, streaming services have never been more popular, so it’s vital to PPDS and the hospitality industry to keep pace and meet the new needs of today’s travellers with our Philips professional displays.”
Over 180,000 MediaSuite TVs have now been sold in Europe, making it the market leader in a number of regions such as the Nordics, DACH and the Benelux.
“Our strategic decision to run our Philips MediaSuite TV on the Android TV OS means our customers and their guests will always benefit from the latest features they come to expect, whether that’s the latest app, an important security patch, user analytics, voice control, or the latest streaming platform,” added Verhaeghe.
The Apple TV app can be added following the latest firmware update.
