US Digital TV: On-Demand and in High-Definition

eMarketer — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00

Attention: Advertising Agencies; Marketers; ISPs and Telecoms; Broadcast, Cable and Satellite Providers; Entertainment, Information, Sports, Music and Movie Producers and Home Electronics Manufacturers.

The US Digital TV spotlight report takes you onto the front lines in the battle between the networks, cable and satellite television companies. The weapons of choice in the ensuing battle will be advanced TV services such as video-on-demand (VOD), high-definition TV (HDTV) and digital video recorder (DVR) functions.

Widespread broadband Internet access is also affecting the sector, not only because broadband is blurring the distinction between traditional communications categories, allowing potential new entrants into the market, but also because broadband Internet users are increasingly satisfying their entertainment needs online and on-demand, and they are expressing the desire for the same control over their TV viewing experience.

The situation is also presenting advertisers with a host of challenges, the most obvious of which is that consumers are avoiding commercials and watching more programs out of scheduled times. Everyone's TV business model needs to evolve.

Questions Addressed by the Report:

- Will VOD be the "trump card" cable companies are hoping for?
- Do DVRs spell the end of television as we know it?
- How will advertisers adapt to the new TV environment?
- How is broadband Internet affecting the TV sector?
- What can programmers do once viewers take full control of the clicker?
- And many more...

Video on demand 2005

Datamonitor — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00

Cable-based VOD services are now up and running in the US, with early indications that demand for services is beginning to increase. However, the sector still faces challenges which need to be met before VOD can become the mass-market technology that operators hope will drive revenue growth in the longer term.

Scope
This brief provides an update on recent VOD developments over the past twelve months
Provides an overview of services and strategy developments across US, Europe and Asia
Highlights the different digital platforms that can be used to distribute VOD content, and which is likely to succeed in the long term
Provides examples of what operators can do in order to boost demand for VOD services
Highlights
VOD remains an important differentiator for major cable operators, providing a response to the high levels of competition faced from digital satellite providers. As a result, providing on-demand services will be crucial if cable companies are to attract new customers and retain existing subscribers .

While personal video recorders (PVRs) and VOD are often seen as competing technologies which are vying for consumer attention, Datamonitor asserts that a combination of the two offers the greatest potential. Recent observations of viewing behavior from the US shows that PVR owners watch more on-demand content than those without such a device.

Although VOD services are becoming increasingly commonplace, usage is still relatively low. Datamonitor believes that a combination of increased marketing and greater content availability will help to boost interest in these services, which will ultimately drive the revenue potential of the sector.

European Programme Rights: Movies

Screen Digest — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00

Leveraging years of experience in researching both the TV and filmed entertainment markets, European Programme Rights: Movies is the only report to provide a detailed analysis of the market for feature films on television in Western Europe.
The report includes ten year historical and forecast data on the value of sales of feature films to the free TV, pay TV and pay-per-view platforms in 16 Western European markets. Also provided is a breakdown of the various film subscription services on offer in each market and detailed country profiles for each of the markets covered in the report.

Some key findings from the report:

Although pay TV is well established in most countries, free TV is still the most valuable window for the sale of feature film rights in most European countries.

Pay TV sales will grow at a faster rate than free TV sales over the next five years, rising to an estimated 1.7bn in 2009, compared to 1.3bn for free TV.

Germany is Europe's most important market for free to air sales, which are still expected to exceed the value of pay TV sales in 2009.

The supply of feature films to European TV is dominated by the Hollywood studios. Exclusive output deals for their movies are essential to the success of pay TV platforms.

Audiences for movies on free to air television have declined dramatically with the rise of home video and DVD, but feature films still remain an important part of prime time schedules.

Independent distributors generally sell films to TV on a one-off basis. However, some independents have secured local output deals in Germany, Spain and Scandinavia.

Broadcasters are an important source of funding for European films in some countries: Canal Plus in France invests nine percent of its annual sales in French-language films, while broadcasters in Spain must allocate five percent of prior year turnover in film production. Investment by broadcasters in the UK are relatively minimal.

U.S. Wireless Commercial Video and Television 2005-2009 Forecast and Analysis: Rise of the ...

IDC — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00

This IDC study forecasts the U.S. wireless commercial video and television market for 2005-2009. Wireless commercial video and television, as distinct from the user-created video content market, has generated an astounding amount of interest - and hype - in the past year. From the launch of goTV and MobiTV on 2.5G cellular networks, to Verizon Wireless' launch of VCAST on 3G, to the noncellular multicast/broadcast networks anticipated in late 2006, this highly complex market is sure to remain among the most dynamic and compelling services delivered to wireless subscribers and customers in the years ahead.

Based on customer and subscriber survey data as well as in-depth discussions with key network operators, infrastructure providers, handset manufacturers, and content providers, this forecast assesses the demand for wireless commercial video and television services through 2009 in terms of several key metrics: subscribers and "à la carte" customers, consumption (based on total minutes consumed per year and per subscriber/customer), and revenue. Extensive trend analysis and a summary of current carrier offerings are included.

"Although there are substantial challenges facing the commercial video and television marketplace from a network, handset, and content perspective, which will serve to keep penetration levels relatively low, we anticipate that annual revenue will still top the $3 billion mark by 2009," said Lewis Ward, senior research analyst in IDC's Wireless and Mobile Communications program. "With an ARPU approaching $10 per subscriber per month by that point, commercial video and television may well emerge as the single largest cell phone-oriented ARPU driver among consumers outside of voice."

US Digital TV: Think Outside the Box

US Digital TV Think Outside the Box

eMarketer — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00

Can you hear the theme music? We are entering TV's "Twilight Zone," where families will no longer huddle together around a glowing box in the living room during "prime time," where programming will be 24/7, portable, on-demand and limitless, where everything is about to change.

We live in a parallel universe where the PC/Internet world is separate from the TV/broadcast world, but their future is inexorably intertwined. All movies and all music will eventually be distributed via the Internet. The CD, CD player, DVD and DVD player all have a use-by date on them. TV broadcasting and its associated business models have not changed significantly over the last 50 years, but digital technology will ensure that TV over the next 50 years will undergo a massive change, the form of which will be governed by the consumer.

Look into the future of television -- electronics, communication, entertainment, sports, news, information and advertising -- of almost everything, read the new US Digital TV report.

People watch TV via a box only because a compelling alternative has yet to be presented to them. Consumers bought vinyl records until CDs came along, but, as is abundantly apparent, iTunes and iPods have given music consumers a compelling alternative to the CD.

The challenge for traditional media and advertising companies is to ensure the form and structure of their companies is not wedded to the functions and consumer behaviors of the past. It would be perilous to assume that TV norms such as "prime time," the 30-second ad break, passive TV and linear entertainment will remain the same.

Key questions the "US Digital TV" report addresses:

- Are DVRs set to go mainstream?
- Why is VOD not proving to be the cash cow it was expected to be?
- Will advertisers shift their spending online as DVR users skip more TV advertising?
- What are the prospects for Telco TV?
- How is broadband affecting the TV market?
- And much more...
