NookieTV Box Service to Cease

May 9th, 2010 by Radio&Telly in Internet TV

TextIt looks like the adult entertainment service NookieTV is set to end from Saturday 15th May 2010.

The Nookie TV service was supplied with a Nookie TV Box, which was a small Internet-enabled set-top box. Plug one end into the Internet, and the other end into the TV, and you could access, on subscription, adult content 24 hours a day.

It seems that subscribers are being told via the Nookie TV website, the following:

“Unfortunately, due to financial hardship, we are ceasing all operations and discontinuing NookieTV broadcast service as of May 15th 2010. We will not be asking our customers to return their IPTV equipment. Therefore no further action is required on your part. Thank you for your past business.”

Nookie TV offered a unique, albeit specialist, solution to a video-on-demand TV service. The set-top box supplied with the service contained a pink ‘Panic button’ that could be used in the event of an unplanned viewing interruption.

Customers of the service are not required to return the Nookie Box hardware, according to their website.

A SeeSawRemember Project Kangaroo? The service that was set to be a little like the BBC iPlayer but combining TV content from BBC Worldwide, ITV and Channel 4. It was canned in 2009 after a review by the Competition Commission.

Well, it’s back. Now known as SeeSaw and with a slightly different offering, this is due to launch within the next few months offering TV content from a number of suppliers, most notably BBC Worldwide, on either a free, ad funded or pay-to-view model.

SeeSaw has just entered a public beta test phase, and if you’d be interested in trying out SeeSaw ahead of its public launch later this year, go to www.seesaw.com
