Operator Devices – Content Aggregation and Cardless Security as Standard
Changes in consumer demand and behavior patterns have led to new approaches in pay-TV strategy. Today, you’re more likely to be exploring content aggregation and how to integrate your services into existing retail-based devices than to be focusing on building set-top boxes with bespoke requirements.
While this approach may lower the initial subscriber acquisition cost as well as the cost to serve, it presents a raft of other challenges connected to brand and business, which require careful navigation. NAGRAVISION helps you resolve them all, empowering you to grow your operations successfully in a highly competitive and dynamic market.

Service Aggregation
Consumers today are likely to have multiple subscriptions to different streaming services. Our operator device approach includes content aggregation from a wide range of streaming services, available through deep-linking and personalization.
The solution allows you to add services such as direct billing and single sign-on. It removes friction from the user experience, delivers increased subscriber value, and puts your service at the center of in-home media and entertainment experiences.
Brand Presence
Using the NAGRAVISION Operator App, the user gains easy access to all the advanced features you’d expect from a quick-to-market solution. Our apps are designed be the default on the operator device and incorporate both your logo and your branding style. This ensures your brand remains at the forefront within the home and top of mind with your customers.
Enhanced Value Proposition
Our retail set-top box solutions work with any content provider: big-brand companies, such as Netflix and Disney as well as smaller, local, and regional providers. As media and entertainment solutions become increasingly aggregated, NAGRAVISION works with all major providers to ensure our retail set-top box solutions keep pace.
As a video service operator, you are equipped to offer the best experience possible and improve subscriber retention. All the content is curated via a single, branded user interface. Additional apps and services, such as music and local-interest content, can be added. A deep-search function means subscribers can always find the best place to watch their favorite content.
