The Liberty Global TV App Store is an open ecosystem.

with other Apps, functionality and the user interface, and are free of explicit and
offensive material Liberty Global will review all TV Apps that are submitted.
Every App will be reviewed based on technical, design and content criteria.
Technical and design criteria are mapped in the online developer tool and the
content criteria are available in the Liberty Global
TV App Store Partner Guidelines.
All Third Party Apps submitted for placement in the Liberty Global App Store must be compliant to these guidelines, and Liberty Global reserves the right to reject or remove any App that is not compliant to our App philosophy. These guidelines are also subject to change at any time. Liberty Global may waive any of these guidelines at its own discretion.

Cloud-based Solution
Liberty Global has adopted the Metrological Application Framework (MAF) for its TV App Store. This is a cloud based solution, which offers app developers, content providers, networks, producers and broadcasters the opportunity to promote specific services or content in an attractive way via the TV.
Deployment of a new app can literally just take a few weeks.
Easy Templates for Great Interfaces
The MAF developer kit is available and comes with custom templates, available in three types:
Sidebar: your content in a side-by-side view while customers watch TV.
Full screen experience: your content displayed in full format to not distract your customers.
Customized: a number of tailor-made templates to let your content interact directly with TV shows as viewers watch them.
