Users will be give the opportunity to view content on up to five devices, including Android and iOS smartphones and tablets, laptops and PCs with up-to-date versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari. Live-streamed content is available in SD, while on-demand content is available in SD or HD.
The service will be available free of charge for a 30-day trial period to the first 1,000 users who sign up before August 9.
