British TV brand, LINSAR, is buildinga consumer service based around increasing support for rich media. A key part
of that strategy and development is the inclusion of its game service, provided
by Antix Labs. The high quality, casual to premium games will be supported from
low cost connected TVs upwards.
Some TVs will be purchased with games preloaded
and all will be able to access the LINSAR and Antix Game Store.Antix offers second
screen support so that Antix-enabled phones and tablets can be used for easier
payment and greater levels of interaction. For example, consumers can interact
using their phones and tablets with their televisions, challenge and play a
game on the LINSAR TV whether in the same room and not requiring use of the
broadband network or over the network if their opponent is in a remote
location.
Terry Reed, Owner and
Director of LINSAR said,
“Antix meets consumers’ expectations for the next
generation of game services and fulfils our need to be offering the very best
media to our customers.”
Francis Charig, Chief
Executive of Antix stated,
“LINSAR has established a reputation both under its
own brand and working with some of the major retail channels in the UK, for
high quality televisions and associated service, so Antix will benefit from our
close collaboration. Antix is delighted to see how LINSAR’s TVs so manifestly
utilize the power of the Antix platform.”
Barry Kick, also
owner and Director of LINSAR commented,
“The TV is the hub of the connected
home and we’re addressing this with sophisticated but easy to use services
across the main areas of customer need, Antix being selected by us as the best
in class gaming service.”

About Antix Labs, Ltd. (Antix):
Antix has developed the Antix Game Player incorporating a consumer-focused distribution file format and service
that makes games even more viral than music and video whilst still protecting
the rights and the revenues of the developers. It enables consumers to copy,
share, challenge and play with others not only via a service provider’s network
but also off-network by means of wireless technologies such as Bluetooth and
Wi-Fi Direct. Antix connects consumers across feature phones and smartphones,
tablets, TVs, set top boxes, PCs and other devices even when a provider’s
network is inaccessible, intermittent, slow or full as is the reality in home
and on mobile across most of the world. The company offers the Game Player,
corresponding tools, certification mechanism, optional white-label store and an
optional game warehouse necessary to deploy a complete service offering. The
Antix Game Service is being used as a core gaming component by major operators,
broadcasters, device manufacturers and retailers across the globe.
