THE EPG OPPORTUNITY

EPG is the window to TV. It is used on daily bases by most of the TV viewers and the dominant EPG application provider is currently the set-top box vendor. For most of the it is merely a mandatory application and many time neglected. For operators and broadcasters this open an window of opportunity to offer an enhanced EPG application.

As technologies evolve and standards like HbbTV arise in Europe even broadasters can start offering their branded EPG application to their viewers. There are many advantages in this as the viewers can be steered to the selected channels, premium content and video-on-demand clips, all which can be billed!
