The DTR 8860 VOD is the first- to-market to fully support RiksTV’s ( www.rikstv.no ) push-VOD service, which is using the pVOD solution from Osmosys ( www.osmosys.tv ). ADB and Grundig have already been successful in the Norwegian market since they announced their partnership in 2007 with two non-DVR products: the DTR 8720, and the DTR 8740, which provides pause live TV features. RiksTV plans to launch its new push-VOD service in early 2009. Those DVR’s already in customer homes by then will be upgraded via a simple software download. All products shipped in 2009 will come fully integrated with the push-VOD applications. “With our technology partnership with ADB, Grundig has continually proved its ability to deliver superior quality high definition set-top boxes to the market in a timely manner and at the right price point” says I. Tolga Akar, Chief Marketing Officer at Grundig. “We are very happy to work together with ADB for this latest product launch that will see the first deployment of push-VOD ready digital video recorders in the Norwegian marketplace. Furthermore the availability of two additional HD products will give RiksTV’s subscribers a wide choice of TV viewing options”. RiksTV is a Norwegian DTT network operator owned by a consortium consisting of Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), the TV 2 Group and Telenor Broadcast Holding. Its service offering went live in September 2007, with three free-to-air TV channels and 21 pay-TV channels packaged in RiksPakken and RiksExtra, which provide a mix of local and international programming. Within a year of its services going live, RiksTV has attracted close to 280,000 customers. RiksTV’s offering will be pushed to new levels with the digital video recorder DTR 8860 VOD coupled with Osmosys’ push- VOD solution and embedded enhanced graphics engine known as EGG™. “We strongly believe that the high quality STB from ADB/Grundig together with Push-VOD service from Osmosys will strengthen our position in a competitive market. We hope the service will be a great success” said Espen Thorsby, CEO, RiksTV. The DTR 8860 VOD is an advanced, interactive digital video recorder optimised for digital terrestrial networks.

ADB’s unique operating software ensures enhanced system and product performance including fast channel decoding and swift rendering of on-screen graphics and applications. “We are delighted to work with Grundig and RiksTV to develop and supply this new and innovative product. It is one of the world’s first introduction of a push-VOD ready, HD, MPEG-4 terrestrial platform, and ADB with its partners have delivered it,” states Jim Lomax, Executive VP Worldwide Sales & Marketing at ADB. “We believe that the availability of ADB’s products under Grundig’s strong brand combined with RiksTV’s offer provides consumers with a second-to-none entertainment experience. The digital terrestrial pay TV market is growing in Europe and ADB is perfectly positioned to deliver innovative products to support its customers’ ambitions in this segment”.

Furthermore, the embedded EGG™ enhanced graphics engine is a revolutionary graphics library that marks a radical enhancement in the viewer’s experience, making traditional STB user interfaces history. It allows video content creators and designers alike the freedom to provide interactive TV graphics, with fluid motion, 3D effects and a full suite of animation effects on platforms that were previously limited to a 2D world only. “Push-VOD will make it possible for the consumer to have an exciting TV experience whilst discovering a new way of consuming digital content” commented David McElhatten, Managing Director of Osmosys. “The winning combination of these products developed in collaboration with ADB, Osmosys and Grundig will help deliver the right solution and services for the operator to be successful”.

But while consumers can select from an ever-growing Cvariety of legal services, illegal streaming services have emerged in their shadow, leveraging stolen content and off-the-shelf streaming technologies to deliver entertainment at a fraction of the cost of legitimate content providers. The most virulent and fast-growing illegal streaming enterprise is the pirate subscription Internet Protocol Television (PS IPTV) Service. This type of service mimics the practices of legitimate streaming services. It charges by the month or by the year – typically, about $10 - $15 per month. And for that low price, it provides the customer with thousands of channels of linear television from around the world, and often with tens of thousands of titles for video on demand, including movies still showing in theaters and every episode of entire TV series.

  • Rolling News As Disruptive Change a Managerial Perspective on TV 2 and VG in Norway
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Göteborgs universitets publikationer - e-publicering och e-arkiv Nordicom Review 33 (2012) 1, pp. 67-81 Rolling News as Disruptive Change A Managerial Perspective on TV 2 and VG in Norway Maria Theresa Konow Lund & Roel Puijk Abstract In the present article, we compare the models that the management in two leading com- mercial Norwegian media organizations, one with a foothold in the written press, Verdens Gang (VG), and one in television, TV 2, have used in dealing with the disruptive change in news caused by the introduction of rolling news. Both started with an experimental internal phase but later used different models to organize their news production. By establishing a spin-off, separate from the printed newspaper, VG retreated from synergies between online and offline productions, but gained by having two organizations dedicated to the processes and values of each medium. Their online services are financed by advertisements alone. The commercially financed television channel, TV 2, used an acquisition model, but encountered problems with integrating the parts. Today, their strategy involves a proliferation of digital TV channels, financed by a combination of advertisements and payment from viewers. Not only their Internet site, but particularly their 24/7 news channel Nyhetskanalen is a central element in the production of continous news. Keywords: convergence, continuous news, disruptive change, management Introduction Market leaders often experience difficulties adjusting to what Christensen and Overdorf (2000) call ‘disruptive change’. Implementing innovative activity in an area that requires not only investments but also changes in competencies, organizational processes and values is often difficult to realize within established organizations.
