Open Heavens Media Limited will offer to their users Nigerian entertainment content such as Nollywood movies, documentaries, news from various sources within Africa, faith based programming from The Redeemed Church of God, on demand music, and other family programming to their target audience. Traditionally this content could only be accessed via the PC, with the Open Heavens TV box, the content can be viewed on the television. The programming is delivered over the internet to consumers through a small OHTV box which fits in the palm of the hand and connects to the TV with an HDMI cable.

Verismo Networks' Executive Vice President Dhaval Ajmera said, "Our platform is ideally suited for this type of application. Using our open Internet TV platform, OHTV can cost effectively provide compelling content directly to a TV enabling consumers to watch in the comfort of their living room. We are extremely pleased to be their technology partner of choice."

Beyond the special Nigerian and sub Saharan content, the Verismo platform provides over 200 live web channels from all over the world and brings social networking applications like Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace directly to the TV.

OHTV CEO Akin Salami said, "After a long search for a viable Internet TV technology, we found the depth of features available on Verismo Networks' VuNow platform ideally suited to our business. Verismo has developed a feature rich, open and complete Internet TV platform that has no equivalent anywhere in the world."
