In the battle for the entertainment bundle, set-top boxes are providing an increasing array of entertainment features. Next in their evolution will be connecting the TV to Internet content, to PC-based content, and finally to home control and monitoring features. The connected home is increasingly important to video service provider offerings, and the set-top box is at the heart of those services.
This webcast examines the technology trends and business requirements shaping the next-generation set-top box, including how developments in hardware and software are evolving to support new business models for service providers and technology providers. In addition to worldwide forecasts for set-top box shipments, the webcast also features data from Parks Associates' recent consumer studies TV 2.0 - The Consumer Perspective and Digital Media Evolution.
