Microsoft Introduces New Software Platform to Help Cable Operators Get More Value From Digital TV and On-Demand Services | |
|
||
| Time: 08:39 EST/13:39 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||
|
Today at The National Show, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association's (NCTA's) annual convention, Microsoft Corp. unveiled Microsoft® TV Foundation Edition, a new digital TV software platform designed to help cable operators get more value from on-demand and other digital TV services using the hardware and network infrastructure they have in place today. Microsoft TV Foundation is a complete end-to-end solution that enables network operators to better package and promote services such as video on demand (VOD), while helping viewers more easily find and use the services with an innovative, built-in interactive program guide (IPG). Operators can create On-Demand Storefronts for video, and offer games and information services including news, weather and sports, bringing new benefits to subscribers. The Microsoft TV Foundation platform scales from today's thin-client set-top boxes to future-generation devices, providing a consistent consumer experience for cable operators to promote services as their digital TV offering evolves. The solution is being demonstrated publicly for the first time at the National Show, in Microsoft Booth 931. In a separate announcement, Microsoft today announced industry momentum behind the company's digital TV software. Industry leaders announcing support for Microsoft TV Foundation include Advanced Digital Broadcast (ADB) Ltd., Concurrent Computer Corp., MetaTV Inc., Motorola, Inc., SeaChange and Two Way TV Ltd.

| To be honest I don't see this going any where! The cable industry has a fear (not un-warranted) of Microsoft that will not allow to then to use Microsoft developed software. |
