LeEco’s coming to America tale has been fraught with one bad piece of press after another. The company added to the laundry list this week by announcing that it formally pulled the plug on its EcoPass content package earlier this month.
The Chinese hardware maker confirmed in a statement to TechCrunch the story first spotted by Variety . “We discontinued the EcoPass Beta program as of April 1,” the statement reads. “We are replacing EcoPass with 3-months of DirecTV NOW with every purchase of a LeEco ecophone or ecotv. “
As with the rest of the bad news swirling around the company since it first burst onto the U. S. scene in a garish fashion last year, LeEco isn’t admitting any sort of defeat here. In fact, the company’s spinning the end of its content package as good news for customers. “We believe this provides greater value to our customers since it has over 60 channels that include the latest movies and shows,” it continues. “We are committed to supporting those customers that did sign up for the services in EcoPass.
