As they have pointed out, this is the first collaboration of this type between a television manufacturer and a telecommunications operator, which will allow owners of a Samsung smart TV to access and discover on- demand content in a more agile and simple way. available in the Movistar + application .
For example, we can access Movistar + content through the Universal Guide advanced programming guide , with the universal search engine “Search” or using the virtual voice assistant Bixby . Universal Guide shows a personalized panel with the contents classified in different categories and themes on a single screen, offering recommendations based on user preferences without opening any application.
In addition, as Miguel Ángel Ruiz, Brand Strategy & Innovation Services Senior Manager at Samsung Iberia has pointed out, it seems that the manufacturer plans to continue this type of integration with other operators :
We are very happy to have made this pioneering agreement with Movistar +, which will be the origin of many similar ones with other broadcast operators around the world.
