Showtime subscribers can now enjoy VIP viewing status, with more choice, greater flexibility and added value with the launch of the new Platinum package.
With the new Platinum package, subscribers will enjoy all 50 Showtime channels, unlimited access to home cinema movies, a second subscription, access to the Platinum hotline and a Platinum privilege card offering a variety of added value benefits.
The Platinum package complements the new bouquet of programme packages Showtime has just launched and is designed to provide greater flexibility for viewers. The new options are Kids and Knowledge, Lifestyle, Sports and Variety, and Movies Premiere.
Commenting on the new Platinum package, Peter Einstein, President and CEO of Showtime said, “Showtime Arabia is committed to continually enhancing its offering and delivering on the promise of see it first and see it all. The new Platinum package provides additional convenience and control with the second subscription, as well as unlimited access to Home Cinema movies. Platinum will be the VIP choice for customers, giving them the option to get everything they want and more!”
The advantage for Platinum subscribers is that they no longer have to battle out which programme they are going to watch, or who controls the TV remote. Subscribers are able to view programmes in two separate rooms, with their second subscription catering to the whole family’s entertainment preferences. In this way the latest movies and the latest series can be watched simultaneously.
Platinum customers who also choose the Showbox DVR will have everything at their fingertips, with the options of being able to pause live TV; watch their favorite bits again through the rewind function, and re-live that last-minute important goal with the replay and slow motion buttons. And by simply using the 7 day EPG to plan their viewing, they will no longer have to worry about missing that must-see programme.
