Broadcast TV is dead, long live Broadcast TV.

Broadcast TV isn’t dead.  TDG reports the average TV household watches over 31 hours of television per week – compared to an average of 22 minutes of people watching Internet video.  But that’s not to say TV 1.0 is meeting the needs of today’s internet-connected television subscribers.

Encore’s Interactive’s “Live Everywhere”™ product portfolio helps bring your subscribers an immersive television experience – over their existing high speed internet circuit using the same high quality high definition and standard definition content you use to serve your IPTV footprint. 

And when the number of North American OTT TV households is expected to skyrocket from 19 to 60 million over the next 4 years, there’s a great opportunity opening up to play more a part in your subscriber’s digital lifestyle.

Encore Interactive’s “Live Everywhere”™ High Speed Internet Edition brings OTT TV to your subscribers helping you further your television footprint as you expand your IPTV footprint.  In fact,  research shows that typical IPTV service providers have 7-10 high speed internet subscribers for every IPTV subscriber.

Going beyond high quality broadcast and on-demand video, the product also enables exciting new subscriber features that let you as their trusted service provider play more a part in their daily lives:

• “Content Everywhere”: TV, VoD, Personal Media and Internet Content across set-top boxes, PCs and Mobile Devices.
• Personal media management:  discovering in-home media and making it available across 3 screens.
• Social TV: Letting your subscribers interact across your own social network and easily share personal media.
• Smart TV: helping your subscribers discover new content they’re missing out on.

Plus the platform is extensible letting you deploy new 3rd party OSGi-compatible applications to in-home subscriber set-top boxes allowing you to offer exciting new features like home automation, energy management and cloud backup services to your subscribers.

This is not IPTV middleware.  “Live Everywhere” connects to your existing IPTV middleware OSS/BSS interfaces and your existing video head-end minimizing both CAPEX and OPEX overhead.
