Witbe, a specialist in test automation and monitoring technology for video service providers, has joined the Digital TV Group (DTG), the UK-based industry association focused on the innovation, development, and promotion of digital television and media technologies.

DTG has driven digital TV innovation in the UK for over 25 years, helping its members deliver video services across all screens, devices and formats.

“We are delighted to welcome Witbe as a new member of the Digital TV Group,” said DTG CEO Richard Lindsay-Davies. “Their expertise in test automation and monitoring aligns perfectly with our mission to support innovation and excellence in UK TV delivery. At a time when the industry is navigating significant transformation, we look forward to collaborating with Witbe to ensure exceptional viewer experiences and drive value for our organisations and the wider ecosystem as we work to shape the future of TV in the UK.”

As a DTG member, Witbe will share its industry expertise as the company looks to strengthen its presence in the UK market. Witbe’s technology is used by video service providers worldwide, including DTG member Channel Four Television Corporation. Witbe recently updated its innovative Remote Eye Controller (REC) application, a virtual Network Operations Center (NOC), to make it even easier for video service providers to remotely access and control real testing devices from any web browser.

“We are pleased to be joining the Digital TV Group,” added Mathieu Planche, Witbe’s CEO. “DTG’s commitment to collaboration and testing in the UK television industry is perfectly aligned with the core principles of Witbe’s technology. As a new DTG member, we are excited to participate in talks about the future of UK streaming, collaborate with fellow members, and share our vast expertise shaped by over 20 years of working with providers to test and monitor their services on real devices and networks.”
