The workflow behind Battle OF Smart Streaming TV Brands
Apps are published to the relevant stores, updated centrally, and share one identity and billing layer so a subscription bought on the web unlocks the TV app instantly.
The business impact
- Casting via Chromecast and AirPlay plus game-console apps
- Store-compliant builds and managed certification submissions
- Native apps for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Samsung, LG and more
- iOS, Android and responsive web from the same content backend
- Single sign-on and shared watch history across every device
The LinqTV approach
LinqTV ships and maintains native apps for web, mobile and every major TV platform from a single content backend, with shared sign-in and watch history.
Running these capabilities on one platform lowers total cost of ownership and removes the integration debt of stitching separate vendors together.
Getting it right
- Design for the remote and 10-foot UI on TV, not just touch
- Test real devices, since codec and DRM support varies by model and year
- Budget for store certification timelines on each TV platform
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to build each TV app separately?
Each platform has its own SDK and store rules, but a managed platform builds and maintains them for you from one backend, so you publish everywhere without separate engineering teams.
How is global performance handled?
Adaptive bitrate, edge caching and multi-CDN routing maintain quality for international audiences and high-concurrency events.
Can we keep our existing tools?
APIs, webhooks and prebuilt connectors integrate with common CMS, CRM and payment systems, so you extend your stack instead of replacing it.
