VIDAA has partnered with waipu.tv to bring the streaming service to smart TVs in Germany. This integration eliminates the need for additional hardware, providing seamless access to waipu.tv's extensive content library.

Viewers also gain access to cloud-based recording, pause and restart features, and a video-on-demand library (waiputhek) containing 40,000 titles. “Germany is one of the most competitive and innovative TV markets in Europe, and waipu.tv is a perfect example of that,” said Guy Edri, CEO of VIDAA. “This partnership brings together great technology, great content, and great user experience – all on a single smart TV platform. We’re proud to make it available, out of the box, to millions of homes across Germany.”
Markus Härtenstein, Co-CEO of Exaring, the operator of waipu.tv, added: “At waipu.tv, our vision is to radically simplify television. Partnering with VIDAA is another step in bringing this vision to life for millions more viewers on the big screen – seamlessly integrated and just one click away.”
The integration enhances VIDAA’s German content offerings and aligns with its strategy of forging strong partnerships with local and national broadcasters. Viewers can expect personalized recommendations, easy access to favorite channels and recordings, and smooth playback. The waipu.tv app is now pre-installed on VIDAA-powered TVs sold in Germany from brands including Hisense, Toshiba TV, Dyon, Loewe, and Leica.
