Shortcut is already available on the most popular devices – smartphones, tablets, computers, iOS, Android, Apple TV and soon on the Smart TV application, Android TV, Chromecast, play stations – and, if a demand develops to watch this entertainment content on your refrigerator, we will be able to provide that as well."

The Director of the Positivus festival Girts Majors: "Thanks to Lattelecom, two years ago, Positivus became the first festival in Europe with its own pop-up TV channel. This year, with the exclusive 360TV Positivus on the Shortcut platform we will go even further. From the 15th to the 17th of July, the channel will broadcast more than 20 hours of content from Salacgriva. After the festival, until the 24th of July you will be able to watch concerts, up to 300 various interviews and other material from the festival on 360TV Positivus. This Positivus is special for us, it’s our tenth anniversary, therefore, in addition to the traditional concert streams and interviews with the artists and the audience presented by the inimitable showman Andris Freidenfelds, we will also take a look back into the history of the festival and the previous nine years in a new exciting format."
