zeebox users can now enjoy relevant content recommendations in new ways. Launched this week, the zeebox “Recommended For You” feature delivers personalised recommendations based on individual viewing behaviour within the zeebox application. In addition, zeebox’s “Similar Shows” feature allows users to discover related content that is most similar to the show currently being watched, what has been watched, or what is available in the future.
“Our users tell us that programme discovery is a key use for second screen applications,” said Anthony Rose, Co-Founder and CTO at zeebox. “People love the zeebox programme guide, but scrolling through a list of 150 channels is not the future. What you want is a small set of programme recommendations, just for you, that you can watch right now. Our new personalised recommendation system offers that, based on your viewing history, likes and more. We look to evolve zeebox further over the coming months to be your perfect personalised programme discovery application.”
