Personal TV

Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: IDATE
Published: June 2007
Product Code: R221-171
Description
The rise in VOD services and TV households equipped with PVRs, new generation set-top boxes and multimedia PCs (Media Centers) should, over the next few years, gradually make television less synonymous with linear programming or predefined television imposed on viewers by TV channel editors.

The world of TV should then gradually enter an era of personal programming, where viewers have control over the television they watch, choosing what to view and when they view it. And, with advances in portability and mobility, they should also soon be able to watch TV programmes wherever they want.

Issues involving the generalisation and democratisation of personal TV tools (rapid rise in TV viewed on demand) and the possible repercussions of evolutions in the TV sector towards this new paradigm (impact on the TV advertising market in particular) will raise certain questions about the development potential of this new market in Europe.

Key questions
  • What solutions today offer viewers the benefits of personal TV functionalities?
  • How quickly are the commercial offers in this area being deployed in Europe and what are the main characteristics?
  • What exactly are the factors that encourage and hinder development of this new television paradigm?
  • What revenues is personal TV likely to generate in Europe in 2012?
