The new PŸUR TV hybrid DVB-C (cable) plus OTT STB is based on Android TV Operator Tier and manufactured by Sagemcom.

According to 3SS, the launch of this set-top box kicks off a roadmap of multiscreen devices, including smart TVs and mobile devices, on which consumers will be able to access the service.

Google TV services such as Assistant for voice search and Play Store have also been integrated to simplify access to the content, apps and games in the Android TV ecosystem.
