Vision TV UK

Vision TV Network was a TV streaming service owned by Vision247 in the United Kingdom that allowed access to a network of foreign TV channels from within the UK.[3] Viewers had to subscribe online in order to watch pay TV channels on the Vision TV Network, which were delivered to Roku (Now TV), Samsung, IOS and Android Apps.[4][5] As an IPTV service, Vision TV Network also allows two-way interactivity to enable functionality such as voting, commerce and targeted advertising.[6] The service initially broadcast French, Greek, Polish and Turkish channels.
