ExtendMedia announces that the company's OpenCASE platform is powering Bell TV's first TV Anywhere-style video service. The new broadband service, TMN Online, lets subscribers with The Movie Network watch movies and series on their computers anywhere in Canada.

Available through the Bell TV Online portal at bell.ca/tvonline, TMN Online gives subscribers the TV Anywhere offering for free as part of their existing television subscription. The first content provider to make their content available through Bell TV Online is Astral Media Television Network, a leading Canadian media company, active in specialty and pay television, radio, outdoor advertising and iMedia.

ExtendMedia's OpenCASE platform was purpose-built to meet the needs of content creators and distributors seeking to build, deploy and manage unified video services across PC, TV and mobile devices. Built from the ground up to be platform-neutral, OpenCASE includes out-of-the-box integration with leading ad servers, CDNs, DRM providers and encoding platforms, supports both paid and ad-supported business models, and can deliver streamed or downloaded content to multiple devices. Bell TV's TMN Online service also represents the first production launch of OpenCASE's support for Microsoft Silverlight video and PlayReady DRM.
