Over 20 More Free New Zealand TV Channels on Sony Internet TV
Auckland, 7 December 2011 – Sony New Zealand are pleased to announce that New Zealand’s Internet TV Network Ziln is now available on Sony Internet Televisions, bringing over 20 free channels of local content into New Zealand living rooms.
"This is very exciting for us because it means Ziln grows from being an Internet
TV Network accessible via home computers to being a true lean back, full screen
lounge room experience." says Paul Brennan of Ziln.
Ziln has been operating since September 2009 and currently carries 25 channels
of on-demand New Zealand content including music, sport, documentaries, fishing
and hunting, aviation, Archives New Zealand's classic newsreels and more. In
fact, thanks to Ziln, anyone can create their own Internet TV channel, so expect to
see more channels launching over the coming months.
Sony Internet Television is an IPTV service available across a range of Sony
televisions, Blu-ray players and home theatre systems. Ziln now joins other
services on the Sony platform like Music Unlimited, Wiggle Time TV, Moshcam
and the Billabong channel.
"Sony Internet Television offers New Zealanders a gateway to an enormous and
dynamic world of content on-demand" says Matt Walton-Smith of Sony New
Zealand. "And now with Ziln as a channel partner, the range of programming has
grown significantly with Ziln even offering New Zealanders the chance to create
their own IPTV channel".
