The Challenge: Bringing PayTV to the home LAN
Broadcast providers traditionally supply premium content via cable or satellite to televisions equipped with DVB-based set-top boxes and PVRs, and Internet service via cable modem. However, today’s subscribers demand the freedom to consume digital content where and how they please – whether watching YouTube videos on their TV, or a live sports event on their tablet computer. Digital broadcast providers need branded, easily-implemented, multi-room and cross-platform solutions that enable access to live stream TV, satellite, cable and DTT broadcasts, recorded media, and VOD across the household – on TVs, PCs, smartphones, tablets, and other IP-enabled devices.
