Broadband provider Magnet Networks has launched a Web-based live TV service with Twitter and Facebook integration.
The free offers live streaming of RTE1, Network 2, TV3, TG4 and 3e live from any Web browser, without the need for a TV license.
Users also have the option of running their Twitter and Facebook feeds to comment, tweet and watch updates alongside their TV stream.
Commenting on the launch of magnetwebtv.ie Mark Kellett, CEO of Magnet, said: “Apart from the fact that this is a free, no-strings-attached service, we expect the social media features to be a big draw. People in Ireland can now watch TV and comment, or just observe comments, from one device, which we now know is a very popular activity for many.
“There really is a huge appetite for this. Big TV events like The X Factor attracted over 11 Tweets per second and more recently TD Joan Burton’s appearance on The Vincent Browne show became a trending topic worldwide.”
For a monthly fee of €3.99, a total of 21 channels are offered to Magnet broadband subscribers, including BBC’s full range of channels, MTV, VH1 and kids channels Nickelodeon, Nick Toons and Nick Junior.
Additional features likes replies, retweets and comments will be added in the coming weeks.
