APMAX Middleware Supports a New Remote Sure to Appeal to Older IPTV Subscribers

May 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Mitchell, SD – One of the greatest IPTV challenges from the service provider perspective is getting buy in from the older demographic on having a Set Top Box. Once you have overcome that objection then you have the issue of exposing them to a new remote control that likely has more functions and smaller buttons than they are accustom to.

Service providers offering APMAX Middleware now have an additional option that will make it easier for older subscribers or those with limitations that affect their dexterity. This new remote with large glow in the dark number keys, will be functional with the Amino 110,130 and 140 standard Set-Top boxes. According to Ryan Tupper, Director of Voice and Video Services at Innovative Systems, this decision was based on a thorough evaluation of the remotes that could provide the most functionality with a good track record of dependability. Tupper adds, “While the new remotes are limited to non DVR STBs, the majority of subscribers requesting them are less likely to have DVRs in their homes.”
