**Amino Technologies plc** ([LON:AMO](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/company/amino-technologies-plc/afrn.l)),
a software-led global media technology company that delivers modern TV experiences,
has announced that it is working with PCCW Media, a leading, fully integrated multimedia
and entertainment company headquartered in Hong Kong, to enable its Now TV video
service. Amino’s software enables both PayTV and streaming services through an Android
based user experience, including Netflix integration via Amino’s Hailstorm Partnership
with Netflix.

Now TV is Hong Kong’s leading Pay TV operator with the territory’s largest subscriber
base. PCCW plans to utilize Amino software to enhance its offering to deliver next
generation viewing experiences, combining streaming services including Netflix within
the service for the first time. The partnership utilizes PCCW hardware with Amino’s
software solutions.

Amino is a Hailstorm Partner of Netflix enabling immediate integration for PCCW.
Hailstorm is a Netflix initiative designed to reduce the effort of integration and
time-to-market for partners looking to launch Netflix services as part of their 
consumer offering.

Amino’s software addresses the changing behaviours and expectations of viewers globally–
with traditional TV and content streaming converging to offer aggregated content
in a single viewer experience. Amino enables this ‘best of both worlds’ for PCCW,
allowing it to seamlessly integrate the streaming services that viewers want into
their already popular PayTV services and packages. Amino’s software will allow PCCW’s
customers to easily access and connect to the TV and video they love.
