From the advantage in service coverage
One of the weaknesses of IPTV television services compared other types of pay television services is that they required broadband infrastructure. Therefore, despite providing many useful features for television viewers such as rewinding, rewinding, recording for later view, locking programs unsuitable for children,... many IPTV service providers still have to face with difficulty in their development because they don't have widespread Internet infrastructure.
The broadband infrastructure reaching communes across the country is a great advantage for MyTV to conquer the market. While competitors can only serve a small subscriber market in urban areas, MyTV can provide service to customers all over the country. As a result, only in the first year of its launch, MyTV reached half a million subscribers - a remarkable number.
To enhance service quality for its customers, in 2014, VNPT started to transform its broadband network into optical fiber. Not only continuing to expand the coverage area, VNPT has completely replaced its cable network with super-fast optical cable network, significantly improving the transmission speed. This continued to be an advantage for MyTV, which attracted more than half a million subscribers and helps MyTV to retain its customers in the context of a competitive Pay-TV market.
To the introduction of new features
Acknowledging that only good transmission quality is not enough, MyTV has embarked on research to bring more features and new gadgets for customers. In 2017, MyTV Net was launched as a television service for mobile users. MyTV also added the recommendation feature that allows users to select new, attractive and fast content quickly, easily. Most recently, MyTV has launched a new smooth multi-device compatible interface (MyTV 4.0) which allows minimal operation steps.
With this new interface version, users only need to do 1-2 steps on the controller to get desired content.
MyTV 4.0 also has a built-in intelligent search feature. This feature is available in all service interfaces. Customers only need to type in the keywords they want to search and related content will show momentarily. The YouTube app feature is also included so that users can watch content on this this video sharing channel right on MyTV.
With the development of technology, customers now have a lot of options to watch TV-on-demand, such as watching on Smart TVs. Using this method, customers can instantly see what they like without having to sign up for services. However, available content is not copyrighted and only in low image quality.
To meet customers' needs, MyTV 4.0 interface is multi-device compatible. With this new interface, customers can use MyTV service on Smart TVs of the most popular brands in the market such as Samsung, LG, Sony, Asanzo, ....
These innovations quickly received positive feedback from users.
