Sezmi Select Service now available in 10 cities nationwide!
SEZMI RESPONDS TO CONSUMER DEMAND WITH EXPANDED MARKET AVAILABILITY
BELMONT, Calif. (June 17, 2010)
–Sezmi, an all-in-one personalized television service,
today announced plans for expanded market availability of the Sezmi Select product –
giving consumers in many U.S. markets access to the first ever complete alternative
to cable and satellite TV.
This market expansion builds on the successful service introduction in Los Angeles and a
recent major service upgrade for Sezmi subscribers. The new upgrade includes new Entertainment
Zones, online browsing of the Sezmi on-demand catalog and many other new features and performance
enhancements.
In response to strong consumer demand across the U.S., Sezmi is launching its entry-level Sezmi Select
offering this week in Boston; Detroit; Houston; Kansas City, Mo.; Phoenix; Portland, Ore.; Miami,
Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; and San Francisco. Customers can order their Sezmi system and
subscribe for the service online at www.sezmi.com.
“We have seen great initial success in Los Angeles. We have strong consumer interest and outstanding
subscriber satisfaction,” said Sezmi Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Buno Pati. “We have experienced
an ongoing stream of requests for the product in other markets and are thrilled to start meeting this increasing
demand now in more cities across the country.”
The Sezmi Select offering delivers a breakthrough experience for digital broadcast TV consumers.
This entry-level offering combines the Sezmi industry-leading digital TV receiver with a smart,
personalized DVR. The product seamlessly combines the broadcast content with a large collection of
movies from top Hollywood studios, on-demand TV from leading broadcast and cable providers, and
video from YouTube and other online content providers.
The market expansion builds on the recently updated Sezmi service that is now available to Los Angeles subscribers. One of the key benefits of this latest service update is the addition of Entertainment Zones. Entertainment Zones aggregate live, recorded and on-demand programs, movies, web videos and podcasts, plus upcoming TV listings into one easy-to-navigate interface. In particular, Entertainment Zones enabl e broadcasters, TV stations and other entertainment providers to deliver a branded interactive entertainment experience that is always just one click away on the television screen.
Sezmi Select and the Sezmi Select Plus package, which includes a rich selection of top cable channels,
are currently available in the Greater Los Angeles Area, including parts of Orange, San Bernardino and
Riverside Counties, at many Best Buy store locations or online through www.bestbuy.com. Sezmi also plans market
expansion of Sezmi Select Plus later this year.
