Sezmi, originally named Building B, was founded by Phil Wiser and Buno Pati in 2007 and based in Belmont, California.[2]

Previously, Sezmi was a subscription video service in 36 metropolitan areas of the United States. It provided a DVR which recorded free over-the-air broadcasts plus brought in video from Internet sources. The system used a smart antenna to improve reception in fringe areas. On September 23, 2011, Sezmi informed customers that they would be discontinuing their service on September 26, 2011.[3][4]

Sezmi was acquired by KIT Digital in January 2012 for $27 million, $16 million in cash and $11 million in KIT Digital stock.[5] The acquisition included 18 patents from Sezmi related to OTT platforms.[2]

Later in 2012,[when?] Totalmovie acquired Sezmi from Kit Digital.[6]
