M7, the German provider of TV entertainment for cable and IP networks, is the content partner for a channel portfolio with which O2 Telefónica will launch its new TV platform, O2 TV, on September 25th.
The licence package supplied by M7 covers over 130 pay-TV channels from Kinowelt, SPI and Hearst Networks: Kinowelt Television HD, 360 TuneBox HD, DocuBox HD, FashionBox HD, Fast & Fun Box HD, FightBox HD, FilmBox Arthouse HD, GameToon HD, Crime + Investigation HD and The HISTORY Channel HD.
In addition to the linear TV programmes, viewers can also use additional interactive functions, such as restarting the current programme, pausing it and watching it later.
