Dears,
We are the biggest SmartTV developer in HK and we would like to know more about YahooTV.
Right now, we are helping our customers to build SmartTV app on Samsung, LG and Vizio. For each project, we need to handle the coding differently becuase different platform have different standard and using different technology.
I would like to know how can I make use of YahooTV’s platform and SDK to simplify my development.
What is YahooTV’s business model for this product.
Thx a lot
Rgds
