  • Global Pay TV Fragments
    Global pay TV fragments The top 503 pay TV operators will reach 853 million subscribers from the 1.02 billion global total by 2026. The top 50 operators accounted for 64% of the world’s pay TV subscribers by end-2020, with this proportion dropping to 62% by 2026. Pay TV subscribers by operator ranking (million) 1200 1000 143 165 38 45 800 74 80 102 102 600 224 215 400 200 423 412 0 2020 2026 Top 10 11-50 51-100 101-200 201+ Excluded from report The top 50 will lose 20 million subscribers over the next five years. However, operators beyond the top 100 will gain subscribers over the same period. Simon Murray, Principal Analyst at Digital TV Research, said: “Most industries consolidate as they mature. The pay TV sector is doing the opposite – fragmenting. Most of the subscriber growth will take place in developing countries where operators are not controlled by larger corporations.” By end-2020, 13 operators had more than 10 million pay TV subscribers. China and India will continue to dominate the top pay TV operator rankings, partly as their subscriber bases climb but also due to the US operators losing subscribers. Between 2020 and 2026, 307 of the 503 operators (61%) will gain subscribers, with 13 showing no change and 183 losing subscribers (36%). In 2020, 28 pay TV operators earned more than $1 billion in revenues, but this will drop to 24 operators by 2026. The Global Pay TV Operator Forecasts report covers 503 operators with 726 platforms [132 digital cable, 116 analog cable, 279 satellite, 142 IPTV and 57 DTT] across 135 countries.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • Television Safe Areas Redefined
    March 15, 2010 Television Safe Areas Redefined For various reasons, televisions using cathode ray tube (CRT) displays deflect the electron beam beyond the edges of the faceplate front of the tube, resulting in areas at the edges of the transmitted picture not being visible to the viewer. This characteristic, known as overscan, requires critical action and titles to be constrained to “safe areas” of the picture. The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) many years ago issued recommendations for what these safe areas should be. With the increased use of flat-panel LCD, plasma and other fixed pixel matrix display televisions the previously defined safe areas are no longer appropriate and a new SMPTE standard, Specifications for Safe Action and Safe Title Areas for Television was published last year, together with a recommended practice Safe Areas for Protection of Alternate Aspect Ratios. These were followed last week by an Engineering Guideline Safe Areas for Television EG 2046-3, which explains the background and use of the new standards. The following extracts from these documents are reproduced with permission from SMPTE. “It is the purpose of this Engineering Guideline to explain the use of these documents and the relationships among them. A brief history of TV safe areas and their evolution is also given. From the early days of film and television, it has been recognized that not all of the information contained in the original image frame will necessarily be presented to the viewer. In television, the principal limitation has been the use of overscan in the viewer‘s receiver.

  • NTV-PLUS, RUSSIA's LEADING PAY-TV PLATFORM, EXPANDS RESOURCE on EUTELSAT's W4 SATELLITE THROUGH NEW CONTRACT with RSCC Pari
    PR/16/06 NTV-PLUS, RUSSIA’S LEADING PAY-TV PLATFORM, EXPANDS RESOURCE ON EUTELSAT’S W4 SATELLITE THROUGH NEW CONTRACT WITH RSCC Paris, 21 March 2006 Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) announces that NTV-Plus, Russia’s leading direct-to-home pay-TV platform, is boosting its capacity on Eutelsat’s W4 satellite from six to eight transponders. The new agreement for high-power capacity on Eutelsat’s W4 satellite has been concluded between NTV Plus and the RSCC (Russian Satellite Communications Company), Russia’s national satellite communications operator and a longstanding partner with Eutelsat in the Russian market. The new capacity will be used by NTV-Plus to expand its pay-TV platform which was launched in 1997 and today serves 450,000 subscriber homes, mainly located in Russia, through Eutelsat’s W4 satellite. Since the beginning of March three new television channels (NTV-Plus Tennis, NTV-Plus Sport Classic, Nash Football) have already joined the existing offer of 60 digital channels. Up to 20 further channels are planned for launch in the coming months. “Since its launch on Eutelsat, NTV-Plus has built up its position as a key player in eastern Europe’s vibrant broadcasting landscape,” said NTV-Plus Director General Dmitry Samokhin. “Through this new capacity we are now equipped to extend and diversify the range of channels we offer subscribers. The superior coverage provided by Eutelsat’s W4 satellite will also support our expansion in CIS countries which are experiencing rapid development of digital services and present great potential for growth for our digital platform.” For Giuliano Berretta, Eutelsat CEO, “The development of our key video neighbourhood for eastern Europe at 36 degrees East sits at the heart of our strategic objectives for Eutelsat’s continued growth.
