OpenTV senior VP and MD Europe, Middle
east and Africa Ben Bennett says, "We
are delighted that we will be able to offer
a seamless solution to our customers that
bridges the pay TV experience with the mobile
phone experience in a user-friendly manner.
"This integrated solution is intended
to make it easy for our customers to extend
their TV experience across multiple platforms
and devices, and to allow those viewers
to personalise that experience in ever more
compelling ways. One simple example of this
Mobile TV is to enable OpenTV's PVR users
to record programmes seamlessly and remotely
from the mobile handset."
The integrated solution combines features
and functionalities from OpenTV's advanced
digital television software, in particular
its middleware offering, and weComm's wave
technology. The solution extends OpenTV's
middleware features into the mobile environment,
allowing direct access on the mobile phone
to electronic programming guides (EPGs)
that have been ported to OpenTV's platform.
The solution also enables mobile phone
users to remotely programme their PVRs and
to view live or on-demand television programming
by navigating through the EPG resident on
their phone.
