A day in the living room

Every moment the TV is on is a moment you own.

RedSquid puts your brand, your rails and your monetisation at the centre of every household interaction — from the first switch-on in the morning to the weekend cartoon.

The home screen is where attention starts.

Every morning, every evening, every weekend — the TV is the first screen the household sees together. RedSquid puts your brand there, not a generic OEM UI.

Your recommendations. Your bundles. Your ads.

Content discovery, cross-app search, personalised rails and monetisable ad surfaces all live inside your operator app — with OS-level telemetry you control.

Household profiles, adaptive to each viewer.

Kids profiles, parental controls, personalisation per user — not just per household. Deepens engagement at every age in the home.

The industry challenge

Pay TV is under pressure.

Operators have lost control of the primary interface in the home. RedSquid gives it back.

OTT is eating the living room

Your viewers are spending less time in the pay-TV UI and more time in third-party apps you do not control.

ARPU is flat or falling

Classic subscription bundles have peaked. New monetisation levers — advertising, data, financed hardware — live outside your existing stack.

Replatforming is a multi-year risk

Rebuilding your TV experience on a new OS is expensive, slow, and politically painful. Most initiatives stall at the architecture stage.

See it in action

Your operator app, full-screen.

RedSquid sits invisibly beneath your branded application, intercepting system keys only when the viewer presses them. The overlay below cycles through what RedSquid controls while the operator app stays centre stage.

How RedSquid helps

A TV platform that works the way you already run.

Your service, your UI, your control, your data — with Sharp-built hardware, commercial contracts you recognise, and a phased rollout that respects your estate.

Your app, full-screen

The operator application runs as the primary experience. RedSquid handles the system layer invisibly beneath it — viewers see your brand, not ours.

No major app rewrites

Integrate with your existing Pay TV identity and billing stacks. RedSquid works with what you already have — 100% of data and revenue stays with you.

Hybrid by design

Designed to complement, not replace, your set-top box estate. Phased rollout, modular adoption, predictable TCO.

OS-level intelligence

Telemetry on discovery, viewing and attention flows back into your systems — the kind of signal you never had from a third-party smart TV.

Financed TVs at scale

Complete off-the-shelf TVs including logistics and financing through our partnership with Sharp. Extend customer lifetime by 2–4 years.

Edge AI ready

The commercial case, visualised

Where the ARPU uplift comes from.

Every product you add to the household bundle widens the monthly spend. Layering a RedSquid-powered, financed TV on top is the rung where revenue compounds. Switch the currency to see typical ranges in £, € or $.

Three ways to roll out

Start where you're comfortable. Scale when the numbers land.

RedSquid is commercially structured so you can adopt at the pace your board can defend.

Lowest risk

Hybrid

Complement your existing STB estate.

RedSquid-powered smart TVs, sticks or pucks sit alongside the STBs you already ship. Start with a single region or a single tier, prove the economics, then widen.

  • Smart TV, STB, stick or puck — same RedSquid stack
  • No disruption to existing STB programmes
  • Test monetisation on a contained cohort
Balanced

Phased rollout

One cohort at a time, then scale.

Launch RedSquid TVs to a focused customer cohort (new subs, lapsed churners, a premium bundle), validate ARPU uplift, then expand month by month.

  • Validate the commercial story with real cohorts
  • Expand as confidence + financials land
  • Marketing support from Sharp for launch cohorts
Highest upside

Greenfield

Launch a new telco TV tier.

Build a new TV-led product for a new segment — Edge-AI-ready, operator-branded, with bundled financing via Glow and logistics via Sharp — and take it to market end-to-end on RedSquid.

  • Own the full TV experience from unboxing onward
  • Edge-AI-ready for next-generation AdTech
  • Financing, logistics + marketing programme-managed

Near-zero risk economics

Low upfront capex. Modular adoption. Clear exit.

RedSquid is commercially structured so you can start small, validate the economics on a narrow deployment, and scale when the numbers confirm the story. No platform lock-in, clean data portability, predictable TCO.

Commercial contracts are with Sharp Consumer Electronics, a global TV manufacturer with over a century of heritage — the same partner who supports marketing initiatives for operators deploying RedSquid.

What's in the box

  • Commercial contracts with Sharp, not with RedSquid
  • Off-the-shelf TVs including logistics and financing
  • Marketing support for operator launches
  • Phased rollout, modular adoption
