Select TV is intended for online video delivery of more than 350,000 TV episodes, 200,000 movies, 1,000 web channels, local over-the-air (OTA) channels from the major networks, live events and concerts, more than 50,000 streaming radio stations, music videos, and games. The content is sourced from free, pay-per-view, and subscription sources. The service, which will cost $2.99 per month, is also designed to serve as a hub for a connected home and allow any video monitor or flat panel to function as a smart TV.
The device itself has DVR features, an app and download manager, screen-casting, and HD multiplayer gaming. It also includes productivity tools including web browsing, word processing and e-mail utilizing MS Office, support for external and cloud-based storage, as well as integrated home security and automation services.
In a statement, FreeCast CEO William Mobley said, in part, "It's beyond a simple app manager or set top box; It's a full PC running Windows 10, so it really takes the entertainment lifestyle experience to the next level."
