[Andrew Burke's Hardcore IPTV Blog] Catch-up Killed the Video-on-Demand Star? « Andrew Burke's ...: It could be that broadcasters combine linear and catch-up packages, brand them completely and pay service providers purely to distribute the content.  The service provider falls back to the role of dumb carrier and monetises the network.  The broadcaster fronts customer acquisition activity by leveraging their media reach and the service providers offer installation help, guaranteed quality or discounted triple-play bundles.  Maybe not an ideal scenario for the service provider but it does allow them to ”˜revert to type’ and leverage core skills.  The broadcaster gets to exploit its ”˜content is king’ position but will always have an uneasy alliance with the distributor.  And both need to decide how the set-top box is funded.  Is it a universal product which can subscribe to multiple broadcaster services or a tethered offering?  Here lies the real opportunity of a Freeview/Canvas-like product, the consumer buys the box and as long as the OTT content is only ”˜gatekeeped’ by the consumer then many different content providers could compete for that customer’s loyalty.  Sounds like the PC to me - one platform, many services.

[MashUp] The Sydney Morning Herald Blogs: MashUp: In the case of IceTV, their guide is compiled from a variety of public sources (including the usual predictability of TV schedules, give or take a bit), but their clear advantage (and that of any online EPG) is that it can be updated to all subscribers immediately when the various TV channels advertise their frustratingly common late changes to programs (and is half of the reason I no longer record TV, though simultaneously denying myself the occasional gem amongst the dross, a loss I am lately making up for via TV delivered via the Internet).

As a result, even as single-screen ITV has begun making tentative inroads into the US market, a number of both new and established companies are targeting that market with increasingly rich and sophisticated two-screen ITV and participation TV solutions.
