The X TV application can be installed on devices with operating systems Android TV/Google TV (Sony, Xiaomi, TCL, MiBoX, Chromecast with Google TV), WebOS (LG) and Fire OS (Amazon Fire TV). Over time, it will appear on other platforms, including Tizen (Samsung). After the testing phase, the service will also be available in other markets, including Poland.
American media noted that the name X TV may be associated with erotic channels. The aim is to emphasize the lack of censorship on the new service and to distinguish the service from its competitor YouTube. There is no shortage of erotic or pornographic video content on X. The TV app is intended to make it easier to use all multimedia. In this way, X will be able to compete for attention not only with YouTube, but also with streaming giants such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Max.
The app was first announced a year ago
A year ago, in June 2023, one of the Twitter users noticed that the site was missing an application for Smart TVs. “It’s coming,” replied Elon Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter). However, he did not reveal when the project would be implemented or on which devices the application could be used.
Reuters then reported that during a presentation to investors, the company’s new CEO, Linda Yaccarino, and Musk announced that Twitter would focus on video content to revitalize the service and gain additional advertising revenue.. During the meeting it was revealed that 10 percent of the time spent on the platform is video content. Discussions about additional video content were held with celebrities from the world of politics and entertainment, as well as with media and owners of paid services that could be promoted on X.
Elon Musk in October 2022. completed the acquisition of Twitter for $43 billion. The company’s shareholders had approved the deal a month earlier. He previously announced the layoff of 75 percent. of all employees. “Well, I think it’s really important that there is an inclusive arena for free speech,” Musk said previously. “Twitter has become a de facto marketplace, so it’s really important that people have a sense of reality and a sense that they can speak freely, but within the confines of the law,” he said. Last summer Twitter changed its name to X.
A year ago, Linda Yaccarino replaced Elon Musk as CEO of Twitter. She joined the platform from the media industry, specifically from media giant NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast Corporation. There, she oversaw all of NBCUniversal’s advertising sales, partnerships, marketing, advertising technology, data, market research, and global, national, and local strategic initiatives.
You can use the social networking site TikTok on Smart TVs. In Poland, the most popular apps include Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Canal+ online, Max, Amazon Prime Video, SkyShowtime, CDA, Pilot WP and Viaplay. There is no shortage of websites with radio stations (myTuner, Tune In), webcams (Earth Cam TV, WebCamera.pl) and weather stations (AccuWeather). Apps with text content are not very popular. On most devices, you can use websites such as Twitter, Facebook or Wikipedia after downloading them to your TV or web browser.
