TV GOES MOBILE BIG TIME

Live television and other video content are bound to go big in the year of 2011. This is with the advancements made in technology and the availability of many different high definition devices. Mobile digital TV has been around for many years, it is only now that its potential is being determined and put to full use.

The mobile TV platform as well as the content has been greatly limited. But now comes the period when many companies are looking brightly at the medium. Mobile Content Venture which comprises of twelve leading broadcasters will be upgrading stations and offering mobile DTV in a big way.

They are going to target 20 markets which will have a good 40 percent of the U.S. population getting access to the latest mobile TV content. For starters some of the metropolitan users may enjoy getting about two or three free mobile channels.
But then chip-maker Qualcomm Inc. had to shut down their Flo TV, which provided with TV content for mobile phones. They had started the service back in 2004 which was popular with the people. But people did not tune in to their mobile phones to watch the program when it was aired. This resulted in great loses. So there are still some risks involved here

LG has been standard and instrumental in the developments of mobile DTV. The transmission from analog to digital resulted in most of the analog based devices going obsolete. Now with the advent of advanced smart phones, laptops, tablets and a string of other such devices, this market is all set to go really diverse. This platform might as well prove to be an alternative to video on demand. Digital video content, live TV, internet, Vod are just some of the features which will be made available in a grand manner now in the coming years.

None the less one would do well to remember that the Mobile DTV is still different from other mobile devices like cell phones for example. It uniquely offers live and local TV just like the idiot box back home. Only that Mobile DTV can be viewed while on the move anywhere and effortlessly.

SKY EYES 3D BIG TIME

Sky launched its 3D platform not long ago. While now it seems to have given it a full go and will rather concentrate on the 3D format big time. In October it also launched a 3D channel that was heavy on European content to its native UK subscribers. While on one hand the Video on Demand feature has been the flavor of the season and all the major TV service providers are concentrating on that section, right from Virgin to BT and the other providers.

The integration of internet and TV to give an altogether newer and liberated experience to viewers has been a big hit with everyone. In the mean while though 3D has caught everyone’s fascination as well, one would do well to remember that 3D is an expensive proposition. Virgin Media's latest and advanced TiVo platform has created a big stir in the market with its many innovative features. People are also stating that Sky’s investment in 3D so soon may as well be a stupid failure and a loss proposition.

But Sky at the same time is equally confident of the 3D platform’s success in the UK and Europe market. There is also a major speculation of a complete takeover bid as made by Rupert Murdoch. Apparently a good 100,000 3D TV sets will be sold by the end of the year 2010 itself which is the reason that Sky is so confident and satisfied with 3D. Although a good two million TV sets are being shipped globally, this number is still modest at best when compared with the potential that it needs to touch.

This group of people who already own 3D TV is still relatively the adopters. 3D is no doubt the next big thing and is bound to transform the viewing experience of TV. But then again this is in the future as considering the expensive price of the overall 3D package; most of the population is going to find it difficult to go for it yet.

Coming back to Video on Demand, BBC-backed IPTV platform YouView is also soon to be launched. Not that Sky isn’t concentrating its energy here what with the launch of Sky Anytime Plus which is also an advanced VOD offering. Sky is still determined and feels that the time is ripe to go full throttle as far as 3D is concerned.

SKY DIGITAL LAUNCHES SIKH TV

The large population of Sikhs in UK will now enjoy viewing of Sikh TV which has been eagerly awaited by people one and all. The channel would be wholly dedicated to Sikhs and will be loaded with Punjabi content.

It aims to reach the very heart of the Sikh British population by giving them a vision of their very own Punjab. The specialty of the channel would be the shows airing that would be very much of cultural and religious in nature. There is a lot of enthusiasm in the Sikh community post this news of launch.

The Sikh TV channel is going to be a free-to-air service. This would see the removal of Faith World +1 instead of which Sikh TV is to be aired on Sky channel 848.

Sikh Channel and Sangat TV are the other two available Sikh language channels specifically targeted t the Sikh audiences. There was a religious inauguration for the channel taking place in India at the Akal Tak Sahib. This event too was recorded which would be available in highlights on the Sikh TV channel later on. The fact is that the very essence of Punjab should be felt by people watching the channel who would connect with their home land so away from home.

In fact there will also be a telecast of a national Indian game kabaddi on the channel. All this has further enhanced the enthusiasm of the Sikh community. In the mean time this would turn out to be another feather in the cap for Sky which will further get the respect of its many subscribers, the ones from the Sikh community no less.

Sky broadband offers a comprehensive range of broadband packages. Sky broadband packages includes sky broadband base, everyday & unlimited for those who reside in the network and sky connect is available for those who live external to the Sky network.
