The Evolution of the Set-Top Box: Current and Future Trends Affecting Return Path Data Measurement
The evolution of the set-top box: Current and future trends affecting return path data measurement Analysts: Matt Stump, Karen Brown Prepared for the Council for Research Excellence by One Touch Intelligence © 2012 One Touch Intelligence, LLC. All rights reserved. INDEX 4 Multichannel video program distributors 9 Gaming consoles 12 Smart TVs/Blu-ray players 15 Internet video set-top boxes 25 Tablets/smartphones 26 Summary 2 The evolution of the set-top box — September 2012 INTRODUCTION The set-top box world dominated by cable, DBS and telephone companies is evolving into a more fractured environment for the delivery of live linear programming and video-on-demand content from broadcasters and cable networks. The growth in broadband subscribers and Internet speeds plus the rapid adoption of all manner of digital devices have created a second ecosystem adjacent to the current pay TV environment. Content providers that have been shut out of traditional channel delivery are finding Internet aggregators only too happy to test the limits of the pay TV ecosystem by giving consumers choices beyond traditional broadcast and cable network lineups. At the same time, many of these online aggregators represent an opportunity for content providers to extend the visibility for much of their library product. Such providers also present a promotional opportunity for newly produced content. For multichannel video program distributors (MVPDs), online aggregators present both a cord-cutting threat and a broadband opportunity, since consumers need a broadband connection to access such services. As content distribution has spread to new outlets, new devices have been created for consumers to view that content. -
