ViewStream TV · for broadcasters
Your channel, in your brand, on every screen.
ViewStream TV is a ready-made TV service you can launch under your own name: apps for smart TVs and Android TV boxes, plus a web TV site, all fed from one catalogue and run by your team from ViewStream Studio.
One service, every screen
The living room, the browser and the phone.
Viewers find the same channel, the same programmes and the same look wherever they watch.
A web TV site
Your channel’s own site, with the live stream up front, show pages, catch-up, the guide and search, in your brand.
Phones and tablets
The web TV site works on the mobile browser, and the player casts to the TV with Chromecast, or AirPlay in Safari.
What your viewers get
Everything a TV channel needs, already built.
Live, catch-up and the full library, organised the way viewers expect from a TV service.
The live channel, with start over
Live opens first. Viewers who tune in late can start the programme from the beginning or rewind within the DVR window.
Catch-up, automatically
Every programme on the live channel becomes a catch-up episode by itself, cut on the programme guide and published when it ends.
A library of programmes, series and podcasts
Show pages that collect every episode, series, and podcasts that play as audio.
Presenters
A page for each presenter, with the programmes they host, so viewers can follow the faces they know.
Programme guide
What is on now, what is next and what is coming up later, from your schedule.
AI summaries and subtitles
Hebrew subtitles and translated subtitles, plus a short AI summary for each episode, checked against what was actually said.
Run it from ViewStream Studio
Change the screen without shipping a new app.
The apps and the web TV site read their content and layout from ViewStream Studio. Your team updates the home screen, and every TV picks it up. No new app version, no store review, for a content change.
- Home rows. Choose which rows appear, in which order: live, new episodes, a series, a presenter, a campaign.
- Artwork. Landscape images and 3:4 portrait tiles for series and shows, the way TV services present them.
- Layout and brand. Logo, colours, menu and page layout, managed in the same place as the web TV site.
- One catalogue. A programme published once appears on the web, on phones and on the TV.

Built on the ViewStream platform
Broadcast-grade underneath.
ViewStream TV is not a separate system. It runs on the same platform, delivery network and team as the rest of ViewStream.
Delivery from Interhost’s edges
Viewers are served from ViewStream CDN edges in Israel and in Amsterdam, steered by location. About the CDN.
Live with a backup, and DVR
Live channels run with a backup path and a DVR window, so start over and catch-up work from the same recording.
Player analytics with Insight
See what viewers watch, on which devices, and how playback performs for them, in your ViewStream dashboard.
Stream protection
Signed, time-limited playback links and geo rules, so your channel plays where you allow it.
