TeleFi

TeleFi is a Philippine over-the-top streaming service that offers live TV channels (similar to FuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, Philo TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV). It was launched on January 21, 2021. It's competitors in the live TV streaming services include Cignal Play and StreamV.

History
The development of TeleFi started around 2016 to 2018, at the time when OTT streaming TV services were introduced in the United States (such as Sling TV, Hulu with Live TV, DirecTV Now (now AT&T TV), and YouTube TV). In early 2019, TeleFi announced that they would offer an over-the-top IPTV service with live TV programming from free-to-air and subscription TV broadcasters sometime by the end of 2020.

On July 5, 2020, TeleFi announced that they signed a deal with ABS-CBN, Blue Ant Media, GMA, TV5 and People's Television Network, Inc., as well as Disney, KC Media Global, WarnerMedia, ViacomCBS, and others broadcasters in the Philippines and the rest of Southeast Asia, in order to provide its channels and on-demand content to its service.

TeleFi was officially launched on January 21, 2021. During the first week of launch, over 50,000 to 75,000 users signed up and subscribed to the service. The launch also caused some technical issues that some subscribers encountered. The issues were later fixed two to three days after launch.

On April 20, 2021, TeleFi announced that they would launch a video on-demand service as a companion to their live TV service sometime in late 2021. The service would be available to all subscribers.

Marketing
On December 11, 2020, TeleFi announced that they're partnered with Globe and PLDT to offer a free 1 month access to their service. In addition to that, Globe subscribers can subscribe to the service via the GlobeOne app or Google Play, while PLDT subscribers can subscribe to the service through their PLDT Home Bill.

From its launch on January 21, 2021 until March 21, 2021, TeleFi offered a Welcome Package to everyone who subscribed to the service, regardless of their subscription package. The package includes either an add-on or two additional channels of your choice, a TeleFi T-shirt and a TeleFi sports cap.

On March 29, 2021, the time when the NCR+ bubble (Metro Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal) was reverted to the enhanced community quarantine, TeleFi announced that some of the channels would be available for free to all subscribers for 1-2 months. This includes Bloomberg, Tap TV, Warner TV, Fox Crime, KBS World, Paramount Network, Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, MTV Asia, The Edge TV (New Zealand), and Asian Food Network.

Features
TeleFi is designed to be a streaming TV replacement to cable and satellite television (although not to be meant as a complete replacement). Viewers and subscribers can pause, rewind or skip back to the beginning for up to 90 minutes. Additionally, subscribers who are in the Plus and Premium packages can record up to 90 hours of programming.

Like the majority of streaming services, TeleFi uses the Google Widevine DRM, which protects the content from being stolen and illegally copied.
