It's only about TV and Video
This is an exciting time in television! TV is evolving rapidly. Digital video recording (DVR/PVR) deployments are at 25% of households in the US. Ten percent of people in the US watch Internet TV on a daily basis. Next year analog television broadcasting will end in the US, requiring a digital TV or set top box to watch over-the-air broadcast TV. IPTV is giving consumers a new alternative to Cable and Satellite. New generations of consumers expect their TV experiences to be connected across their TV, computer and phone. This conference is focused entirely on the TV and Video interactive user experience.
