Opera TV Store signs app deal with Germany’s Videovalis

Opera Software has signed a deal with German motion-picture syndicator Videovalis, bringing a number of German-language on-demand video apps to the Opera TV Store. 

Videovalis has distribution rights for more than 21 regional German broadcasters, and produces its own entertainment content.

The first set of 24 Videovalis applications include VIP News, Kränk, TV Berlin and München TV, which are live now on the Opera TV Store in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

Videovalis is building the apps using Opera’s free Opera TV Snap software. The Opera TV Store can be accessed from smart TV devices made by the likes of Vestel, Sony, Samsung and TiVo.
