Videotron’s illico.tv app now available for Android tabs


MONTRÉAL – Videotron has announced the release of its new illico.tv app for Android tablets. Following the launch of the illico.tv iPad app last December, the Android app expands Videotron’s multiplatform offering, delivering a rich selection of content and user-friendly navigation.

“The illico.tv app gives Videotron customers fingertip access to an entertainment experience tailored to their needs,” said Manon Brouillette, Videtron’s president, consumer market, in a release. “We are confident that movie buffs and fans of television series who use Android tablets will welcome this app, which will also give them access to illico Club Unlimited.”

The free illico.tv app for Android tablets supports all the illico.tv functionalities that digital TV subscribers appreciate, including live streaming TV and video on demand. It includes content from 40 television channels (such as LCN, Yoopa and Zeste) and thousands of hours of special events, television series and recent movies in French and English.

The app also lets Videotron customers remotely program their personal video recorder (PVR) and access the full TV schedule from their Android tablet. Viewers will also be able to start, pause and resume play of on-demand content on any screen: TV (channel 900), mobile handset (illico mobile), computer (illico.tv), iPad or Android tablet.

The illico.tv app can be downloaded free from Google Play.
