Frequently Asked Questions
What is IVA RTV and how it works
No additional app is required to install in order to watch IVA TV or listen to Radio IVA. Windows desktop users may, however, download and install our IVA RTV App free of charge.
IVA Digital Videos is a collection of YouTube embedded music videos forming a network supposed to help indie artists reach more consumers. By moving along jointly within a network, these videos can draw much more attention than running alone.
YT Indie Music TV is a collection of top-quality music videos presented in the form of a playlist. Every good musician deserves to be shown respect and paid attention to, hoping that such an approach will become a standard adopted by major labels in the first place.
If you only mean to watch TV or listen to the radio, you don't have to register and therefore need no account. If you intend to send your own videos/audios for broadcasting and promotion, you will have to create an account having accepted the Agreement.
IVA RTV's mission is to help musicians promote their music online. Radio and television have proven to be the best way for an artist to give massive exposure to his music. Despite many other formats coming around, none of them compares to the classical radio or TV.
No, IVA TV is not a V.O.D. (video-on-demand) service and you cannot affect the order of appearance, nor you can choose a video to play. IVA TV is a real online television continuously playing and broadcasting music in real time, free to end users, providing video and sound outstanding of its kind.
While watching a video or listening to a song, press the info button and find out everything you need to know on the currently performing artist. It's the name, song or video title, photos, links to social networks, YouTube, iTunes, Spotify. You can leave a comment, like a song or video or track the live statistics.
Although necessary, video-on-demand services don't give artists the right opportunity to promote their music. Nothing is magical about watching videos uploaded years ago. The real magic is about the moment of watching something going on right now, knowing that many others are watching that very same thing at the very same time as you are too. Only the classical TV and radio will provide such a charm.
Of course you can, that's the point of it all. First and most important, your music needs to be a good one. Second, you have to be a copyright owner of the videos and songs that you send, or a copyright owner's authorized representative, and register for using our service as an artist or label. You will be contacted by one of our representatives to guide you through the rest of the process, which is quite intuitive and user-friendly.
The stats revealing where in the world and how many people are currently watching IVA TV or listening to Radio IVA are available to track in real time as being just a click away. Clients, however, need to login to their IVA RTV accounts in order to gain access to all their reports containing the stats and views of all songs and videos of theirs ever uploaded, at any time, without any restriction.
A detailed TV guide is available here, while the radio guide can be found on this page, but this feature is enabled for active users only. Although both guides are regularly updated on a daily basis and are as accurate as they can be, please note that IVA RTV reserves the right to update the TV and radio playlists at any time. We are committed to notifying the clients on such changes in advance.
No, it is just an option. One can choose to use IVA TV for promotion and host his video(s) somewhere else, for whatever reason it is. Or one can choose to have his videos fully set up on IVA Music Service, which includes creating a video channel and usually, both radio and TV promotion.
Yes, it is. Independent artists and labels are only able to make decisions on their own. It is rather unpleasant to give your best to promote someone and then end up being contacted by a "major label" to let you know that they are taking over and taking credit for the entire success.
Yes, it is. Once someone becomes a member and signs up, his music is guaranteed to receive airplay on our online radio and TV. A client may claim a refund and give the whole thing up, if he believes there is a reason for it.
Audio videos (i.e. still image) videos are not accepted, because they are not attractive enough - nobody wants to just stare at one picture while watching TV. On the other hand, lyric videos are well accepted and welcome.
