Abstract

Maximising your PayTV investment

Service deployment and enhancement represents a considerable investment and risk to

operators as they look to encourage their subscribers to stay longer and watch more TV.

Using case studies, Pace will describe how payTV operators can expand their linear TV

services with PVR and OTT functionality, deliver and enhance their subscribers’ user

experience and finally assure they get the best quality of service.

• Key ingredients for a scalable and future proof payTV service - UX, Content Protection, QX

• Adding Value with incremental service enhancements - UI, PVR, P-VOD, VOD, OTT,

Search & Recommendations, TV Apps, TV Anywhere

• Case studies
