Why DigiNeat for Smart TV
Six platforms, real native expertise
Most Smart TV agencies cover one or two platforms well and the rest poorly. We build natively on Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Android TV, Apple tvOS, Roku, and Fire TV — across the full landscape. The platforms aren’t interchangeable, and neither is the expertise to do them right.
10-foot UI is a discipline, not a guess
Designing for a TV remote, 10 feet from the screen, with focus-based navigation isn’t mobile or web design scaled up. It’s its own engineering and UX discipline. We’ve built TV apps where users actually want to use the remote — that’s the bar.
Cross-platform consistency without shortcuts
When a TV app needs to live on six platforms, the engineering challenge is keeping the experience consistent without dropping into the lowest common denominator. We architect for that — shared logic, native presentation, platform-specific where it matters.
You own everything
Source code, store/platform credentials, signing keys for every platform, full ownership of your app and its distribution. No lock-in.

Frequently asked questions
Which Smart TV platform should we launch on first?
Depends on your audience and goals. US streaming → Roku usually first. Global premium audience → tvOS. Largest reach → Samsung Tizen and Android TV combined. We’ll give you an honest assessment based on your market, not a one-size answer.
Can you build for all six platforms?
Yes — that’s our standard. Most clients launch on 2–3 platforms first and expand. We architect for that from the start: shared logic where it makes sense, native presentation on each platform, no Frankenstein cross-platform shortcuts.
Do you handle Smart TV store submissions?
Yes — end-to-end. Each platform has its own store process (Samsung Apps, LG Content Store, Google Play, App Store, Roku Channel Store, Amazon Appstore). We’ve worked through them and know what each one expects.
What about DRM and streaming?
We work with standard DRM (Widevine, FairPlay, PlayReady) and adaptive bitrate (HLS, DASH). For new streaming products, we’ll help you choose the right combination based on platform mix and content.
Do you build companion mobile apps?
Yes. TV apps usually need mobile companions (account management, casting, second-screen). We build them in parallel — same team, consistent experience.
Will we own the code?
Completely. Source code for every platform, store credentials, signing keys — all yours.
