Are you ready for yet another way to watch TV? If so, then say hello to Sezmi. Sezmi offers the best of TV and the Internet in a seamlessly integrated, personalized way.

Integrated: Sezmi brings all your content together – no matter the source-in one, integrated experience. And with Sezmi’s extensive on-demand library, you have access to past-season episodes and thousands of movies.

Personalized: When you push your button on the Sezmi remote, you’ll see all your favorite shows organized by your preferences and viewing patterns. Sezmi automatically records all your shows for you – no need to manually save and set up season’s passes to manage the DVR.

And here’s the best thing, the content you love on the Internet is now directly delivered to your living room TV. Meaning, you don’t need to watch TV on your laptop again! Sezmi’s set-top box features a speaker-like antenna for local broadcasts, a digital media player including a DVR and loads of storage, and a scrolling remote. No other product on the market today takes this complete approach. Some get aspects right, but ultimately OTT providers have forgotten the TV experience and TV providers just can’t replicate the online experience. sezmiscreenshot_540x456 Sezmi has just gone on the air in Los Angeles, offering its unique blend of premium OTA and internet delivered video to a few limited trial users. $5 a month brings whatever local networks you can pull in, basic IPTV (YouTube, OnNetworks, podcasts) and internet VOD (CinemaNow) access, while throwing an Andrew Jackson on top of that adds “more than 100 cable TV networks,” delivered through the antenna.
