The TV and Set-top as the Consumer Gateway to Entertainment & Information Set-Top, Broadband, Guides & PVRs
While there will always be a few holdouts, the trinity of the TV, the couch potato and the TV remote is about to go the way of the horse and buggy. The combination of the TV, the set-top, the broadband connection and video recorder is about to break down the barriers of TV viewing. As the 50" flat screen TV saturates the consumer landscape, the idea of windowing screens on a TV set may not be that far way. The idea that consumers might use a TV as they do a computer may be right around the corner. In the near future, viewers might be watching a football game and at the same time, on a second window on the TV, that viewer might also be shopping for tank-tops or buying snacks from the supermarket. That viewer might be taping a show, watching a movie and doing research for a term paper on the web at the same time. The TV set will serve as gateway to entertainment and information as sure as the computer opens the door to a world of information. TV, interactive TV, IPTV, PVR TV, broadband based TV, there will likely be as many ways to describe the way consumers will use and access content and programming as there are companies supplying the options. In this session we will explore that coming future.
