TVU Networks, a global service for live Internet TV, today announced a milestone in reaching 3.5 million monthly unique viewers. The TVU service is accessed via a free application, TVUPlayer, which to date has been downloaded 12 million times by viewers in over 200 countries. TVU Viewers watch live TV programs from around the world, including mainstream programs not broadcast on current cable and satellite services, as well as niche programming content currently available only by subscription or on private networks.

According to Paul Shen, CEO of TVU Networks, “We are very pleased to have reached this record in unique viewers.  We believe that 3.5 million monthly ‘uniques’ makes us the leading global provider of live Internet TV.  TVU’s viewership numbers have seen steady and consistent growth the last few months, and we expect this momentum and upward trend to continue.”

Unlike typical Internet video services that use older video streaming technologies, TVU offers broadcasters and publishers a way to reach global audiences without incurring the prohibitive costs associated with these traditional content distribution methods, such as bandwidth and server costs.

The stability and scalability of TVUPlayer and the TVU service are backed by the company’s patent-pending Real-time Packet Replication technology (RPR).  With RPR, all viewers watching a channel cooperate to give each other the best possible signal, enabling worldwide delivery of a live TV signal, in up to HD quality, from a single broadband connection.
