From Branislav Pekic in Rome

Portugal’s National Communications Authority (Anacom) has published the final decision on the evolution of the DTT network, with the goal of improving the quality of service.

The decision implements a proposal that was submitted to public consultation in March this year. The regulator thus confirms a change of the DTT network configuration, which will become multifrequency, consisting of small single frequency networks (MFN to SFN). This solution should improve the quality of service, since “it allows a full mitigation of the impacts caused by atmospheric phenomena that significantly change propagation conditions,” explains Anacom.

The development will be phased, allowing the integration into the DTT network of the transmitters that had been installed by PT Comunicações within the temporary network operator licence that was allocated precisely to avoid the identified problems.

The decision takes effect from May 16th, when it ended the validity of the temporary licence network that had been attributed to PT and had been renewed in November 2012.

Anacom had already acknowledged that the implementation of DTT “has revealed that certain situations have had an impact on the quality level of reception of the DTT signal,” while the latest figures from consumers association Deco showed that 62 per cent of users had complaints about the quality of the signal. ]]> Sat News michaelm http://cccam-exchange.com/threads/23152-Portuguese-DTT-network-to-switch-to-MFN Can Ultra-HD TVs avoid the fate of 3D sets ? http://cccam-exchange.com/threads/23151-Can-Ultra-HD-TVs-avoid-the-fate-of-3D-sets?goto=newpost Thu, 23 May 2013 17:49:14 GMT * TV panel makers are betting on a high rate of growth for Ultra-High Definition (UHD) LCD TVs during the next four years.

TV panel makers are betting on a high rate of growth for Ultra-High Definition (UHD) LCD TVs during the next four years. These companies expect to ship nearly 943,000 UHD LCD panels this year, up from less than 33,000 units in 2012, according to IHS. The next two years will see shipments ramp up even more quickly to 7.1 million units in 2015, on their way to reaching 20.8 million units by 2017.

The total rises much higher when including a type of lower-priced, lower-specification product labelled “UHD Ready,” panels, which mainly target the Chinese market. Suppliers collectively plan to ship as many as 4 million UHD Ready panels this year alone.

But with such lofty targets, is the TV market setting itself up for failure once again?

“A few years ago, 3D TV came onto the market with tremendous hype and promise to transform how people watch television,” said Sweta Dash, senior director of display research and strategy at IHS. “This promise never came to fruition. Instead, faced with a lack of content, high pricing and inconvenient technology, 3D never emerged from a niche status – a situation that continues today.”

Many now predict the same fate for UHD television.

“However, having learned from past mistakes, TV suppliers are gearing up to make UHD TV a success, determined not to repeat the mistakes they made with 3D. However, the level of consumer demand for UHD is still not clear. Lower yields, higher costs, slower TV sales, lack of content and delays in production all will lead to lower shipments than many in the industry expect.”

When 3D debuted, brands touted the technology as a fundamental shift on the scale of moving to color from black-and-white. It also provided hope for brands to differentiate their products, to gain a competitive advantage and to increase profitability.

However, the reality of 3D TV did not meet these high expectations. The poor adoption rate of 3D was a wake-up call for major TV brands, forcing them to shift strategy away from focusing on selling 3D TV sets to selling 3-D TV capability as an added feature.

Brands also learned they could not charge a price premium for 3D. This changed the adoption rate, and by the end of 2012, only about 20 per cent of all LCD TVs sold had 3D capability, according to IHS.

The market for -D TVs faced three major obstacles when it launched: content, price and technology. Even with 3D popular in cinema thanks to movies such as “Avatar,” there was simply not enough 3D content for televisions. 3D TV also doubled the price premium of regular sets, and in perhaps the most significant obstacle of all, required consumers to change their viewing behavior by wearing a pair of glasses. For all these reasons, 3D adoption stalled.

Many believe that UHD will suffer a similar fate because like 3D, the format lacks television content, and introductory prices are very high.

Still, there are some major differences.

First, UHD TV does not require any change in consumer behaviour, as there is no need to wear glasses. UHD TV also provides greater depth to picture quality, giving a more immersive experience. And with upscaling technology, consumers can see better picture quality even when watching FHD content.

Learning from past experience, many TV brands are actively working to provide UHD content, either through upscaling or through the creation of proprietary UHD content. Already, Japan has plans to begin UHD broadcasting as soon as 2014, two years earlier than originally planned. Also, 4K cameras and camcorders are now on the market, enabling creation of 4K content. Movies in 4K are likewise starting to show up.

The increased focus on UHD LCD TVs comes in part from delays in commercialisation for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TVs, an advanced technology that has encountered various challenges in manufacturing. As UHD is now taking over for the meantime, panel suppliers and brands are working aggressively to reduce prices, with lower-cost UHD TV sets expected later this year, mostly in sizes from 50-inch to 100-inch.

Availability of low-end UHD LCD TV panels from suppliers, especially from Taiwan, may also help trigger UHD market growth, particularly in China. Some brands are already planning to introduce a 50-inch UHD TV in China at a $2,000 price point.

But even with lower prices, UHD TV quality has to be accepted by consumers For long-term sustainable growth to occur, the quality of UHD TV must be deemed acceptable by consumers to justify the switch.

Top panel suppliers such as Samsung, LG Display, AUO and Innolux are all introducing UHD TV panels, with TV brands like Sony, Sharp, Samsung, LG Electronics, Vizio and many Chinese names planning to launch their own offerings later this year. The variety of products available, as well as the different price points and sizes for the sets, will help increase adoption rates, IHS believes.

On the technological front, oxide thin-film transistor (TFT) is considered to be a superior technology compared to conventional amorphous TFT LCD for achieving higher-resolution products. But oxide TFT faces challenges in capacity and yield issues, whereas panel suppliers have been able to offer lower-cost UHD panels produced from conventional amorphous TFT LCD. ]]> Sat News michaelm http://cccam-exchange.com/threads/23151-Can-Ultra-HD-TVs-avoid-the-fate-of-3D-sets Microsoft unveils “ultimate” Xbox One http://cccam-exchange.com/threads/23150-Microsoft-unveils-“ultimate”-Xbox-One?goto=newpost Thu, 23 May 2013 17:48:33 GMT * By Colin Mann Microsoft has unveiled Xbox One, an all-in-one gaming and entertainment system it claims has been created for today and the next...
By Colin Mann

Microsoft has unveiled Xbox One, an all-in-one gaming and entertainment system it claims has been created for today and the next generation. Describing the device as “the ultimate all-in-one home entertainment system” Microsoft says it puts users at the centre of all their games, TV, movies, music, sports and Skype.

“Xbox One is designed to deliver a whole new generation of blockbuster games, television and entertainment in a powerful, all-in-one device,” said Don Mattrick, president, Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. “Our unique, modern architecture brings simplicity to the living room and, for the first time ever, the ability to instantly switch across your games and entertainment.”

Saying “Xbox On” launches a personalised Xbox One Home screen to discover what is popular on TV or see friends’ latest gaming achievements all using the most natural interface — the user’s voice. Other Xbox One features putting the user at the centre of living room entertainment include:

• TV on Xbox One. Navigate and watch live TV from your cable, telco or satellite set-top box through your Xbox One. Microsoft is committed to bringing live TV through various solutions to all the markets where Xbox One will be available.

• Home. Turn on your entertainment system with two powerful words, “Xbox On”, and a custom-tailored Home dashboard welcomes you with your favourite games, TV and entertainment.

• Snap. Do two things at once on the biggest screen in your home. Use Snap to jump into a multiplayer battle while watching your favourite movie, talk with friends on Skype while watching live TV, or track your fantasy team on TV as you watch the big game and more.

• Skype for Xbox One. Specially designed for Xbox One, talk with friends on your TV in stunning HD, or for the first time ever, hold group Skype calls on your TV.

• Trending. Stay on top of what is hot on TV by discovering the entertainment that is popular among your friends, and see what is trending within the Xbox community.

• OneGuide. Find your favourite entertainment easily, searching by network, name or time, all with the sound of your voice and presented in a tailored programme guide.

In addition to an attractive line-up of games coming to Xbox One, Microsoft also unveiled exclusive content partnerships with some of the top names in TV, sports and entertainment:

• Halo television series. Award-winning film-maker, director and producer, Steven Spielberg will executive-produce an original Halo live-action television series with exclusive interactive Xbox One content, created in partnership with 343 Industries and Xbox Entertainment Studios.

• National Football League (NFL). A multi-year, landmark partnership will deliver the ultimate interactive NFL television experiences for the next-generation Xbox One and leverage Microsoft devices and services to evolve both in-game and on the sideline. Microsoft says the NFL on Xbox will redefine broadcast experiences through innovations around Skype, Xbox SmartGlass and player-worn technology; add an all-new fantasy football solution for the biggest screen in the house; and create a personalised NFL destination only available on Xbox One. ]]> Sat News michaelm http://cccam-exchange.com/threads/23150-Microsoft-unveils-“ultimate”-Xbox-One BBC: ‘We should be charging Sky’ http://cccam-exchange.com/threads/23149-BBC-‘We-should-be-charging-Sky’?goto=newpost Thu, 23 May 2013 17:47:51 GMT * The BBC says it should start charging Sky for carrying its channels if it doesn’t drop retransmisson fees.

The BBC says it should start charging Sky for carrying its channels if it doesn’t drop retransmisson fees. Sky charges the BBC, and other public service broadcasters ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, to carry channels on its pay-TV platform. The BBC pays £5 million (€5.9m) a year, with the four others footing a combined £10 million bill.

The issue is a priority for the BBC’s new director of strategy and digital, James Purnell, the former Labour DCMS Secretary. It follows a call by current the culture minister, Ed Vaizey, for Sky to scrap the charges earlier this year.

The BBC’s director of policy and strategy, John Tate said: “Sky should do the decent thing and stop charging licence fee payers to carry BBC services that, in reality, underpin their ability to generate enormous profits. This free ride needs to stop.”

Halved from £10 million two years ago, the BBC is now calling for the retransmission fees to be dropped altogether. However, recent negotiations between executives from Sky and the BBC are believed to have come to nothing. ]]> Sat News michaelm http://cccam-exchange.com/threads/23149-BBC-‘We-should-be-charging-Sky’ Is Multics supporting TNTsat ECM? http://cccam-exchange.com/threads/23148-Is-Multics-supporting-TNTsat-ECM?goto=newpost Thu, 23 May 2013 16:26:17 GMT I have a working tntsat card, actualy not used for share, working in oscam.

The announcement of Mobistar to suspend sales of its internet, fixed telephony and TV services has created a rush at TV Vlaanderen and Télésat.

Existing customers of Mobistar TV will have the opportunity to continue receiving TV Vlaanderen and Télésat’s satellite DTH services.

“The number of calls from customers of Mobistar TV who want to switch to TV Vlaanderen and Téléat, exceeds our expectations,” said Hans Troelstra, COO of M7 Group.

“Since the announcement that its Mobistar TV services suspends the phonelines at our call centre are red hot. We have now hired additional call agents to meet the massive interest.”

Mobistar is gradually contacting its TV customers to provide information about how to switch to TV Vlaanderen and Télésat.

“We have partnered with Mobistar to find a solution to ensure that no customers are inconvenienced by the decision of Mobistar,” added Troelstra. “Customers who switch continue to benefit from a special rate and maintain their channel offerings and their satellite system.”

Meanwhile, TV Vlaanderen and Télésat have said they will start to offer a new, attractive and competitive VDSL for a hybrid triple play product. ]]> Sat News michaelm http://cccam-exchange.com/threads/23140-TV-Vlaanderen-and-TéléSat-migrate-Mobistar-TV-subs Eutelsat 3C with new programs http://cccam-exchange.com/threads/23138-Eutelsat-3C-with-new-programs?goto=newpost Wed, 22 May 2013 09:07:41 GMT French satellite operator Eutelsat Communicaitons gradually develops its new orbital position 3 ° E in Europe and the Middle East.

The Middle East and North Africa region is still lagging behind advanced markets in the development of HD services, despite being ahead of Europe in terms of HD screen sales growth and HDTV growth relative to the total number of TV channels, according to a study by HD platform operator YahLive, satellite operator SES and Dubai-based broadcast consultancy ChannelSculptor.

According to the study, despite growth in demand for HD screens, relatively few MENA viewers were actually experiencing HD channels.

MENA has an estimated 650 free-to-air channels, representing 70% of the total number of channels, a far higher proportion than the global average. Over 10% of MENA channels are now broadcast in HD, compared with 9.3% in Europe, according to the study. However, HD broadcasts are often of low quality.

“Consumers are being forced to settle for low-quality HD broadcasts as the MENA market itself doesn’t provide broadcasters with great financial incentives, thereby depriving consumers of the real emotion-evoking ‘being there’ HD experience,” said Mohamed Youssif, CEO of YahLive.

“More than 50% of MENA’s HD channels are government-owned and 80% of these are free-to-air, limiting the commercialization of HD,” said Nick Grande, managing director of ChannelSculptor. “Commercialisation of HD requires channel ‘encryption,’ paving the future path for paid subscription and the development of a low-pay TV model. However, ‘encryption’ is perceived as a dirty word in this region as governments believe that it will undermine emerging HD audiences.” ]]> Sat News michaelm http://cccam-exchange.com/threads/23135-Encryption-would-boost-HD-in-MENA-say-industry-players
