PeerTV, the TV over the internet (OTT) technology solutions provider has announced that following 

 

the successful delivery of the first batch of its eTV set top box order to Polsky.TV, the company has 

 

now added an additional order totalling $490,000.

 

PeerTV will supply Polsky.TV with its next generation Android set top box which uses H265 HEVC 

 

(High Efficiency Video Coding) technology to deliver TV over the internet. PeerTV successfully 

 

demonstrated its new set top box at IBC in Amsterdam in September, showing how content can be 

 

streamed using 50% of the bandwidth previously required for H264 technology. Very high quality 

 

picture and sound transmission are standout features of the PeerTV unit.

 

Prior to delivery, PeerTV will develop remote management for the STB.   

 

Operating in several countries, PolskyTV is an example of a new breed of ethnic TV service providers 

 

which have spotted significant opportunities for monetizing the TV viewing habits of expatriate 

 

communities around the world by using the internet to reach an audience known to be hungry for 

 

on demand ethnic TV content. It recently launched in the UK, targeting an estimated market of over 

 

600,000 Polish speakers. Its UK broadcasting network offers over 30 channels, including Polish public 

 

television channels, entertainment channels and popular music, as well as children's channels, sports 

 

amongst others.
