Cable Technology Week in Review

Consumers however expect a consistent quality of service regardless of the screen. And this is where operators can shine. A survey from Parks Research has found that consumers expect the same TV user experience throughout their home, regardless of whether the service is offered over the top (OTT), a managed terrestrial operator network, satellite or other delivery mechanism. Expectations also remain the same regardless of the receiving device, including set-top box or connected CE device. The connected home research further found that users want all of the bells and whistles of a traditional pay-TV service within the user interface for OTT. "While some operators might see OTT delivery or use on a connected CE device as a way to offer a slimmed-down version of their user interface, consumers still expect the full-feature service and interface experience regardless of how it is delivered to the TV," said Brett Sappington, director of research at Parks Associates.
