Give Your Subscribers Access to the World’s Leading DVR
What makes the XTV™ Digital Video Recorder (DVR) from NDS
the world’s most popular DVR?
It changes the nature of television because it offers
what consumers want most. With the XTV DVR, subscribers
are in control. They can pause, record, playback and
fast forward content securely without any drawbacks.
XTV lets subscribers decide when and
where they watch the content they choose and build
their own personal playlist. Overlapping programs in
prime time? XTV lets viewers record one program while
playing another or better yet, record them both. XTV
also adds mobility to the equation by providing the
means to copy content securely to a variety of CE devices
at home or on the go.
The DVR signals the end to program schedules. Viewers
can watch whatever they want whenever they want.
It’s no wonder that eight out of 10 Sky+ users
in the UK not only recommended the Sky+ DVR to friends,
they also said it improved the quality of the programs
they watched.
Maximizes hybrid technology
There’s more. Pay-TV operators can now deliver
the knockout punch: a combination of broadcast TV,
On-Demand, and the best of Internet and user-generated
content. Customers access this new world through their
operator’s existing EPG. To make sure operators
really offer what subscribers want, XTV also features
an audience measurement system (AMS).
The result is that the DVR is the media center for
home networks. Viewing on multiple screens in different
rooms. Copying content securely to PMPs and other CE
devices. XTV DVR does it all. Securely.
Winning DVR deployed worldwide
The XTV DVR is already found in 25 million
homes worldwide. No matter what it’s called:
Sky+, Sky Italia, FOXTEL iQ, My Sky, Viasat, DIRECTV
Plus, Yes Max or Hot Magic, it’s a winner.
Subscribers get a user interface that automatically
integrates with their current broadcast system. It
works through the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) they
already know, and coordinates with the viewing schedule.
The result: new levels of impulse viewing and convenience.
Send content to different devices
Because the XTV DVR is integrated with NDS VideoGuard® protection,
all content stored in the DVR’s hard drive can
now be sent securely to a variety of devices. Content
owners know their programming is protected and operators
can take advantage of new revenue streams.
As the world of High Definition (HD) broadcasting
opens, it introduces better picture quality and graphics
as well as new levels of games. NDS has the consumer
in mind as it pushes HD to the limit by developing
new EPGs, user interfaces and games. Already launched
by BSkyB in the UK, the HD DVR is a great leap forward
in both picture quality and storage. Consumers love
it.
With the XTV DVR, flexibility is key. For operators
this means new business models and revenue streams.
From the subscribers’ viewpoint, it doesn’t
get any better.
