Kansas Start-Up Launches IPTV With APMAX Middleware

EMPORIA, Kan. - Jan. 8, 2014 - PRLog -- If you ask ValuNet CEO Rick Tidwell why this Emporia KS startup chose APMAX Middleware you will get an answer that is very pragmatic. "When we started looking at the middleware vendors out there what impressed us the most about Innovative was the fact that they weren't offering "vaporware" which is quite common in this industry." Tidwell added, "Everything that APMAX brought to the table worked and we saw a long standing commitment to the independant market that fits well to the scale of our business." Tidwell concluded, "Today, as we are now turning up customers, we feel we have made the right decision and also appreciate Innovative’s professionally produced video tutorials that we have on our website and on one of our video channels, these videos have made our service easier to support."

Third Wheel in the Market

Anytime someone enters the video market where there are already established players you better have something that makes a difference and that is ValuNet's plan moving forward. Tidwell believes the quality of the APMAX Program Guide is comparable to the DBS competitors and superior to the incumbent cable provider's. Whole Home DVR and the on-screen Weather App are also differentiators against the aforementioned competitors according to Tidwell. ValuNet has specifically promoted their strengths using a grid on their website http://myvalunet.com/about-us/.
