Television – The Favorite Leisure

By S. Kerstens CEO Mware Solutions | August 16, 2017| IPTV OTT

Right since the advent of television in the 1800s, it has proved to be the best go-to option for providing entertainment to families across the world. The passing decades and centuries have given the television different shapes and sizes – better looking more compact with more features. But it has been a constant companion in households. Even after smartphones and computers became “smart” enough to transmit television programs right into such web-enabled devices, televisions have successfully maintained their important position.

Studies conducted show that as much as 78% of the Europeans watch television daily, with almost one in every two individuals watching TV for more than 2 hours a day. This data places television at the top position in terms of favorite leisure activity in Europe, by-passing listening to music at 71%, reading at 58% and even surfing the internet at 44%. A very low percentage of Europeans (approximately 4%) claim to never watch television. While a whopping 90% watch TV with the purpose of gaining information, a very high percentage of the population utilizes it for entertainment, 85% to be exact. It is claimed by 71% of the European that television serves as a source of leisure; which is vetoed by 71% of the females and 66% of the males. 16% of the Europeans seem to be really hooked to their TV since they claim to not even answer the telephone during their favorite show.

Television is not necessarily something that people like to watch alone of strictly with spouses or family. Even social gatherings are often revolved around the television, especially during football season or when people are binge-watching movies with their friends. Mostly men and young women prefer to watch television with their friends at approximately 39% and 52% respectively. Usually families have greater tendency to watch television together when their children are still young.

The data has one major inference – no matter how much technology advances, the good old television is there to stay. However there have been major changes in TV technology with Internet Protocol TVs or IPTVs starting to replace traditional cable satellite transmission modes. The world is becoming smarter with Smart TVs and HDTVs and the next generation in TV technology is the IPTV. That is what the world is moving towards.

With more and more people opting for IPTVs in place of traditional subscriptions with TV service providers, it has become mandatory for the service providers to go with the tide of innovation. The revolution towards IPTVs has already started, because that is exactly what the future holds.

Bring Home the Future of Television – IPTV

By S. Kerstens CEO Mware Solutions | August 11, 2017| IPTV OTT

Television is one primary medium of entertainment that has battled several other such mediums and yet has been successful in holding its place among the population. There have been several technologies behind this big box of relaxation and entertainment, from the traditional cable systems to the more modern personalized ones. Even though cable and satellite remain the most common mode of transmission of TV programs in Europe, there has been a steady growth in a new technology – Internet Protocol Television or IPTV. By using this technology, you no longer have to take up subscriptions. You get to decide what to watch and when to watch, since all video content is delivered on demand. The most significant feature of IPTV is that your options of watching such video content are not limited to the actual television. You can easily watch it on any web-enabled device like smart phones, tablets or computers.

There are certain advantages of IPTV over the cable or satellite connections. These are:

Only one cable is required for both the Internet and television
As all the channels are in HD, you can enjoy the programs in high quality
Through this, you can watch not only TV but can also enjoy video on demand, music on demand and live news.
The programs can be customized as per the choice of the viewer
Through the remote provided with it, you can pause, rewind, etc, from the live telecast
The help menu is very effective and gives you the program guide
You will be able to interact with the service provider.
The advantage for which most people are going for IPTV is that there is no limitation to the point for viewing as you can change your room and enjoy the show on your mobile phone, tablet or laptop.

At present, the technology of IPTV is becoming increasingly popular with people. Most of us are used to televisions where the different channels are fed by the provider of cable or satellite connections. But now this new way of viewing television through IPTV is fast catching up. It is still in the initial stage. When a survey regarding IPTV was taken up, it was found that though a small percentage of people enjoy television through IPTV, most of them stated that they have heard the name and have not used. So, at this moment there is a huge market to be captured on IPTV and this would result in an unimaginable rise in the advertisement revenue. The market is growing very fast and in the long run it may dethrone the traditional ways of watching television as the first option.

So if you are a consumer willing to get on board with this new technology, or a cable or satellite service provider looking to diversify into IPTV, then all you need to do is come to MWare Solutions. We will deliver quality service to you at reasonable costs.

IPTV – The Imminent Future of Television

By S. Kerstens CEO Mware Solutions | August 9, 2017 | IPTV OTT

In Europe, the most common ways of receiving television programs are through satellite and cable. The IPTV or Internet Protocol Television is a service providing the television programming along with other video contents and uses the protocol suite of TCP/IP unlike satellite signals or traditional cables. Besides delivering live TV programs, it also provides the audience to enjoy the on-demand videos. This system can be used for providing video contents for a private network in any enterprise but such implementations are not that popular due to the issues of complexity and scaling. The subscriber-based models are much more popular.

Benefits of IPTV

Media through IPTV is streamed instead of being downloaded which helps the user in viewing the content before the whole of it gets downloaded completely.
IPTV provides a customizable user experience.
The user interface displays the content based on the preference of the consumers.
Besides televisions, it can also be accessed through PCs, tablets, and smartphones.

Six percent in Western Europe think it to be a television broadcaster, while twenty percent in the eastern part think it to be a new computer virus. According to the found figures, it has been seen that watching television through the internet generally benefits the female users. 76 percent women watch television for relaxing themselves while it is 66 percent for men and 87 percent of female users watch it for entertainment while for men it is 82 percent. 34 percent of women who are not using IPTV consider recorded programs to be complicated while it is 24 percent for the IPTV users. 87 percent of the female IPTV users answer the phone calls while watching television while it is 84 percent for the non-users.
