IP Vision/Fetch TV enters administration

IP Vision, the company behind the Fetch TV OTT/DTT platform, has entered administration.

In a statement on IP Vision’s website, the company said: “Peter Kubik and Michael Kiely were appointed Joint Administrators of IP Vision (UK) Limited T/A Fetch TV (“the Company”) on 22 December 2011. The affairs, business and property of the Company are being managed by the Joint Administrators, who act as agents of the Company and without personal liability”.

Fetch TV gave access to the UK’s Freeview channels as well as online TV platforms including the BBC’s iPlayer and BSkyB’s Sky Go. Last month the company began offering its service via Panasonic Smart Viera TVs and announced plans to expand onto Samsung’s Smart TV platform this year.
