ZillionTV will launch new on demand set top box

ZillionTV

The new start up ZillionTV is using Hulu as its model behind their new set top boxes and has received backing from big names, like ABC, Disney, Fox, NBC, Sony, and Warner Bros. The company will offer a new type of set top box that will stream content to the owner’s TV.

ZillionTV is unique in the way that consumers will have the choice to either rent or buy movies and TV shows or choose to watch them for free albeit with advertisements.  All content included with ZillionTV will be on demand and the consumer is not charged a monthly fee for the service.  Rental fees for television shows and movies will fall in the $1.99 to $3.99 price range.

Included with ZillionTV is a remote control that resembles the Wii remote and uses motion sensor technology to operate.  Although ZillionTV has many unique features, it will face challenges since it is entering into an already crowded on demand market.  ZillionTV is expected to release this fourth quarter and will only cost $50.
