Motive develops world's first Mobile PVR for ATSC
Motive Television PLC (AIM: MTV), the technology provider to
broadcasters and pay television operators, is pleased to announce
that it has developed a Mobile Personal Video Recorder ("PVR"),
which the Company believes is the world's first ATSC format PVR for
mobile devices. Unlike other personal video recorders, Mobile PVR
is entirely based on proprietary Motive software.
This new product provides the ability to time shift over-the-air
programmes seen on tablets and mobile devices, and works with the
TabletTV app and TPod in the United States. Mobile PVR uses an
intuitive functionality and interface, similar to the functions
consumers have used in the home for the past 20+ years. Users can
schedule to record programmes up to seven days in advance and then
watch them for their personal use at a later time.
TabletTV in the United States already has the One-Touch
Recording feature which permits pausing, playing, and recording a
current programme, however, the new Mobile PVR will extend that
capability to recording future programmes for later viewing.
Mobile PVR will be introduced as a Beta version this month to
existing users of TabletTV in the U.S. and made available to the
general market in September. In the future, Motive plans to licence
its Mobile PVR software to other vendors of consumer electronics
and app providers.
Leonard M Fertig, CEO of Motive commented, "The development and
launch of Mobile PVR is another first for Motive. It has taken
significant man-years to develop a reliable software-based video
recorder that works in the mobile device environment. This new
product enhances the value of TabletTV and confirms Motive's
position as a market leader in mobile viewing of television."
