TView – The cinema at home for 40 million British television viewers.


TView was founded to give Freeview viewers the freedom to watch premium movies without the long-term contracts and monthly fees demanded by subscription platforms.

A breakthrough for television viewers, TView enables audiences to pay only for the movies they want to see. Payment is quick and easy and can be made by SMS, on the phone or via PayPal. No credit card or direct debit is required, although credit cards are accepted.

Working with leading international film distributors, TView showcases a broad range of mainstream and independent films from the UK, the USA and around the world. Plenty of new releases alongside popular genres including family, classic, art house and world cinema. There is a substantial Bollywood offering – the first time that fans of this genre can enjoy these films on a pay-as-you-view basis, rather than having to invest in a channel subscription. And for horror fans, Friday night on TView offers The Fright Club.

Behind TView is a team of avid movie watchers, whose goal has been to build a ‘people’s film channel' that fosters a conversation with viewers and enables audiences to help shape the way the channel evolves.

TView is committed to democratising the cinema experience at home. There is an average of three TV sets in every UK household which means that even in the majority of households with Sky or Virgin, only one premium pay offering can be enjoyed at any one time. TView allows every set in the house to deliver premium content and every member of the household the opportunity to watch and purchase at will without additional subscription charges.

"Our unique model means that we can respond to popular taste much more precisely, tailoring our menu of films to meet real audience demand," says Sean O'Hara, Commercial Director at TView. "We're passionate movie watchers ourselves. From the outset, our goal has been to build a 'people's film channel' that fosters a conversation with viewers and enables audiences to help shape the way the channel evolves."
