EPG ?
WE HAVE FAILED (BUT IS THAT GOOD?) • In the mid ‘00s the EU failed to
standardise on MHP • Some success in UK with MHEG5 • ETSI TVML was defeated in the DVB by
people pushing HTML • ETSI PCF was published by the DVB
and still holds promise • OCAP and BD/J both based on GEM(hp) • EBIF was invented and adopted by US
cable • Yahoo! “Widgets” arrived on TV • Now there are multiple different Apps
models, all different !
Perhaps the end game is not just “Apps”?
Content Publishers need to be able to author functionality once and have it run on all types of TV device. !The industry has been working towards a standardised interactive authoring format for TV for 10 years. !Governments and Standards bodies have been involved
WHY APPS?Web browsing on TV
– No Consumer Demand – No Business Model
• Unless you are Google! – Still need to manage “TV Sites”
Apps are a viable alternative to full web – Tailored to the device – Usable
Provides full control of the UX to the publisher – at a price...
Natural consumer concept
Nearly 15 years ago, the first Internet enabled TV was launched. !TVs with web browsers in are not new, many have tried, many have failed. !Apps are a very necessary part of OTT video delivery, as they reflect the direct to consumer publishing rights of content owners. !Key difference between OTT and IPTV: Retail, not Wholesale of content

APPS HAVE PROBLEMS:TESTING….
• Testing will limit ability of any single app environment to work on multiple device types • So multiple App Types are inevitable
• No app environment today supports automatic testing and validation.
• Solutions include: • self validating authoring environments
• application Translation
Testing Interactivity on TV has always been fundamental to maintaining the integrity of the TV experience. !Usability is key, but less of an issue now. !Design and authoring fundamental to usability
UNDERSTANDING THE TESTING OVERHEAD
APPS HAVE PROBLEMS:CONTENT ORGANIZATION

There are fundamental differences between broadcast and broadband content organisation. !Broadcast content is discovered through the publisher (channel) !Each App is a silo !Online content needs to be discovered directly. !Google does not provide a list of domains, but a list of pages.....

APPS: THE CONSUMER AND OPERATOR VIEW
• Both Consumer and Operators, prefer to have common services across apps, e.g: • Payments • Personalisation • Community • Messaging
• The Barrier to entry, the cost of building apps, needs to drop away.
The final CTV solution will be a balance between the needs of the Content Publishers, the Viewers and the Manufacturers/ Operators. !Apps favour only the Publishers – but have a cost. !The evolution of the CTV UX will therefore be towards the Viewer and the manufacturer (acting as an operator).

UX EVOLUTION:1. CLOSER TO TV
The majority of viewing time is still using broadcast reception (T/S/C), “red button” principles show great potential for online usage by linking to online content from broadcast content. !Broadcasters have their own online content. Logical to position this integrated with the broadcast channel

UX EVOLUTION:5. CONTENT DRIVEN
Direct discovery and play of content: – Interactivity and Apps become secondary
Content Discovery works across all Content Publishers – Playlists, Searches, Personalization work
multi-‐publisher Auto-‐play of next content item
– Valid for all content lists or queues. Some CPs will resist this:
– Resistance is futile!
TV Model: Entertainment First, Interactivity Second !Web Model: Interactivity First, Entertainment Second. !TV Apps model is wrong: same as the web but worse!
