Motive Television (LON:MTV) has finalised details of its collaboration with Korea’s icube, its partner on the launch of a tablet-based Freeview product for the UK.

The pair signed a memorandum of understanding back in December of last year to collaborate on the eagerly awaited product that will see Motive’s software integrated into icube’s hardware.

Motive, a specialist in ‘over the top’ (i.e. red button) television services, has developed an application that works with devices manufactured by icube that should soon be certified as Freeview-compliant.

These are set to be the first certified products to provide the complete Freeview experience for mobile devices, including 'red button' interactivity. In addition, Motive's Tablet TV will introduce features with its app software not before seen in mobile television, the company promised.

Motive will receive a licence fee from icube for each user of the new product.

Once the current certification process is complete, Motive will announce the availability of its Tablet TV Freeview to the market and icube will distribute the product through retailers.

Shares in Motive Television rose 3.1% to 0.0165p in early trading.
