OSN Extends Its Linear Satellite Service Using TVkey Cloud
OSN has launched a direct-to-TV version of its OSNtv pay-TV service on Samsung connected TVs across the Middle East and North Africa, using TVkey Cloud from NAGRAVISION and Samsung. Announced on 5 February 2026, the roll-out is described as the first service of its kind in the region, providing access in more than 20 countries without the need for a set-top box. Sofia Digital built the smart TV experience to the HbbTV operator application standard.
"Our goal is always to ensure consumers have easy access to their favorite OSNtv content," said Imad El Khoury, VP Commercial Sales at OSN. "The partnership with NAGRAVISION and Samsung through TVkey Cloud now enables us to deliver the OSNtv premium proposition to our consumers, allowing them to enjoy the best of OSNtv on connected TVs."
"With the launch of TVkey Cloud, OSN is adopting innovative solutions that go beyond traditional set-top boxes to drive growth, expand service reach, and monetize content," said Morten Solbakken, Executive Vice President and COO, NAGRAVISION. "We're excited to launch this first-of-its-kind service in the Middle East and North Africa with Samsung and Sofia Digital and provide OSNtv with a new and secure distribution channel for premium content."
"At Samsung, our goal is to empower consumers with technology that matters. The launch of the new TVkey Cloud service is testament to that, delivering added value to our consumers enjoying OSN services on our Samsung connected TVs," said Mustafa Sadick, Head of TV & AV Group, Samsung MENA. "By collaborating with partners like OSN and NAGRAVISION, we're able to bring the best of content solutions and technology together, creating a viewing experience that is truly unparalleled."
The OSNtv service enabled by TVkey Cloud works with all Samsung Ultra HD connected TV models produced since 2021. Co-developed by NAGRAVISION and Samsung, TVkey Cloud embeds security directly into the TV chipset to protect premium content and complies with MovieLabs' Enhanced Content Protection requirements for 4K Ultra HD, HDR and early-release titles. Its immersive interface is designed to make OSNtv the primary live TV source on the device, rather than just another app.
