"Remote Control War Ends" SK Broadband Launches Tablet-Type IPTV
SKB Launches B tv Air
Parents and Children Use According to Personal Preferences
Single-Person Households Can Get a TV Without Price Burden
[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] SK Broadband announced on the 28th that it will launch the tablet-type IPTV 'B tv Air,' which allows family members to enjoy content tailored to their individual preferences throughout the home.
B tv Air combines IPTV and a tablet PC into one device. As the name 'Air' suggests, it can be used anywhere in the home?bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, etc.?via SK Broadband's Giga Wi-Fi connection. Unlike traditional TVs, it serves as an alternative TV that lets users enjoy media content anywhere inside the house.
Subscribers can watch live channels and video on demand (VOD) through B tv Air, as well as enjoy various premium content such as movies (Ocean) and kids' programming (ZEM Kids) in high definition. The multimedia functions of the tablet PC, including video conferencing, online lectures, internet surfing, and music listening, can also be utilized.
B tv Air is a product that meets the diverse TV needs of various households. For families of three to four or more members, it becomes a private TV for parents and children, allowing them to watch desired content anytime and anywhere with convenient mobility, effectively serving as a second TV in the home. Conversely, it is also ideal for single-person households who do not need a TV due to economic reasons but want to watch live channels and VOD on a larger screen than a smartphone.
SK Broadband differentiated B tv Air by including a dual-speaker 'Speaker Dock.' Users can enjoy richer sound through the Speaker Dock, which also functions as a charging stand.
The first model is the 'Lenovo Tab M10 FHD Plus,' featuring a large 10.3-inch screen and a lightweight body weighing 460g, making it highly portable. The combined price of the tablet and Speaker Dock is KRW 316,800 including tax. With a 3-year contract, the monthly installment for the device is KRW 8,800. When using SK Broadband's 'High-Speed Internet' and 'B tv' together with B tv Air, a special 50% discount is applied, reducing the monthly fee to KRW 4,400 for a 3-year contract.
Lee Jae-kwang, Head of Sales Planning Group at SK Broadband, said, "This product was planned to meet the diverse TV needs of households so that the whole family can comfortably enjoy IPTV anywhere in the home." He added, "We hope everyone enjoys the high-quality content provided by B tv freely on B tv Air."
