HALIFAX – Bell Aliant has launched a new Twitter app for its FibreOp TV service that it says integrates the best Twitter features with customers’ television programming on the biggest screen in the home.
The free app allows users to share what show they’re watching, post a Tweet using their remote, read a Twitter feed while watching a show, view Tweets about a show being watched, and discover trending topics from across Canada.
“FibreOp is the only network that brings the best of social media and the Internet to Atlantic Canadian TV screens”, said Andre LeBlanc, VP of residential services, in the announcement. “FibreOp was designed to be future proof and we will continue to deliver new services and apps that will create the best TV and Internet experience in the market.”
To access the Twitter app on FibreOp TV, customers need an active Twitter account and a Bell Aliant Internet connection. The app supports up to five unique Twitter accounts per household.
