<description><![CDATA[Visionner un programme en différé grâce au site internet d&#8217;une chaîne de télévision, c&#8217;e]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://essecmedia.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/m6-replay.jpg?w=288&#038;h=189" alt="" width="288" height="189" />Visionner un programme en différé grâce au site internet d&#8217;une chaîne de télévision, c&#8217;est ce qu&#8217;on appelle la catch up TV soit la TV de rattrapage. Toutes les grandes chaînes s&#8217;y sont mises mais la part des programmes que chacune rend disponible en ligne est très différente. Si M6 propose 80% de ses programmes sur M6 Replay, Tf1 n&#8217;offre elle que 42% de ses contenus. Le taux de reprise moyen atteint ainsi 59% en septembre 2009 contre 53% en mars dernier.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Si les chaînes de TV hésitent à se lancer totalement dans la catch up TV de peur qu&#8217;elle cannibalise la consommation de tv classique, les internautes sont eux friands de ce nouveau concept. Et ils seront bientôt encore mieux servis car les chaînes de la TNT sont dans les starting-blocs. Certaines ont même annoncé l&#8217;arrivée d&#8217;une application iPhone.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.mac4ever.com/images/images_actu/48444_824_catch_up_tv_59_des_programmes_tv_disponibles_sur_le_net.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="138" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Je suis personnellement consommateur de catch-up TV et j&#8217;apprécie fortement le service. J&#8217;y porte cependant un regard assez critique pour au moins 4 raisons :</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">- Si regarder la télévision sur l&#8217;écran de son PC est un &#8220;sport&#8221; désormais très répandu, je regrette de devoir passer par mon ordinateur pour regarder la télévision. La TV de rattrapage devrait systématiquement être disponible sur l&#8217;écran de télévision. Gulli et Virgin 17 devraient d&#8217;ailleurs proposer ce service directement sur PC et sur Numéricâble (et les autres ?); une &#8220;bonne&#8221; nouvelle. Orange propose déjà ce service pour certaines chaînes : France Télévision, M6. Chez Free, on retrouve Canal+ et CanalSat, 2 univers payants&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">- La qualité de la catch-up sur le PC n&#8217;est pas toujours au rendez-vous. M6 Replay via le site dédié s&#8217;est bien amélioré mais la qualité de l&#8217;image reste très en deçà de ce qu&#8217;on a sur une TV. Idem pour le JT de Tf1. J&#8217;ai testé la catch up sur la TV via Orange et la qualité y est bien meilleure que sur le PC.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">- La catch-up TV doit-elle être payante ou gratuite ? Sur M6, une émission comme D&#38;Co est gratuite mais précédée de 2 spots publicitaires. Sur Tf1, Koh-Lanta&#8230; coûte 1,99€ !! La Méthode Cauet, 1,49€ !! Je suis plutôt partisan du gratuit pour des émissions du type talk show, information, jeu, coaching, télé-réalité,&#8230; et du payant pour les gros documentaires et films (location ou achat).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">- Retrouver une émission déjà diffusée à la télévision relève parfois du jeu de piste&#8230; Chacune des chaîne a son propre site, organisé à sa façon. Si le site de M6 est plutôt clair, celui de France 2 par exemple ressemble à un vrai labyrinthe&#8230; Heureusement, le site <a class="wp-caption" href="http://www.tvarevoir.fr/" target="_blank">TVàRevoir</a> permet de lancer une recherche toute chaîne confondue. Cliquer sur le résultat d&#8217;une recherche renvoie directement au programme sur le site de la chaîne. Les chiffres donnés en début de billet émanent d&#8217;ailleurs d&#8217;un <a class="wp-caption" href="http://www.tvarevoir.fr/presse/cp_071009.pdf" target="_blank">baromètre publié par tvarevoir.fr associé à NPA Conseil</a>.</p>

<description><![CDATA[More and more people these days are watching more Online TV and less TV on the television set. Is it]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>More and more people these days are watching more <a href="http://www.worldtvpc.com/internettv"><b>Online TV</b></a> and less TV on the television set. Is it a natural progression or maybe the old technology that is a standard tv set is losing the battle of the eyeballs.</p>
<p>A newly released report from Conference Board which was revealed on Tuesday shows that around a quarter of all homes in the US are getting their tv fix online. Although you may say its only a quarter, it is also up around 5% on last years figure of 20%.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.worldtvpc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/online-tvpc.jpg"><br />Reality shows and surprisingly sports cam next with 20% and 18% respectively.</p>
<p>But a rather naughty 10% watch at the office. Whilst they should be working i wonder?</p>
<p>News and sitcoms are the most popular show to watch, which ties in with our post of YouTube to rent movies online. Their viewers are reluctant to watch the currently free full length movies as viewers are still not comfortable watching over 90 minutes of conntent in one sitting (Numb bum anyone?).</p>

<description><![CDATA[A recent PVR study caught my eye and got me thinking.  Actual Customer Behaviour, in conjunction wit]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>A recent PVR study caught my eye and got me thinking.  Actual Customer Behaviour, in conjunction with London Business School, conducted an 18 months study in a number of homes with personal video recorders, video-on-demand and online video services. The study was conducted for a consortium including Ofcom, the BBC, Channel 4, BT Vision and Microsoft, among others.  What particularly interested me was the observation that the availability of an archive of programmes in the personal video recorder reduced the appetite for true video-on-demand.  I believe Virgin Media claim that the availability of iPlayer shifted their customers’ viewing habits to circa 40% catch-up.  I also thought about my family’s viewing behaviour – check broadcast to see if anything is worth watching, if not check the PVR for unwatched recorded programmes, if not check Sky Anytime for catch-up content, if not check our DVD/Blue-ray collection for anything appealing and if not look at Sky box office for pay-as-you-go VoD.  We seldom make it to the box office option &#8211; maybe once every other month – and if we do then we only pay for an HD version.  If we also had the ability to watch free OTT content on our TV then that would make a paid event even rarer.  So a number of things to contemplate:</p>
<p>1)      Is the availability of catch-up TV (iPlayer, Hulu, TV.com) enough to satisfy the vast majority of viewer’s TV needs and…</p>
<p>2)      If so, will future IPTV business models primarily be license fee/advertising/sponsorship/product placement driven and…</p>
<p>3)      Does this put the balance of IPTV content power firmly in the hands of these super-aggregators of quality, catch-up TV?</p>
<p>I think the answer to question 1) is almost certainly yes.  Many, many households are happy with just a broadcast service and adding a catch-up facility alongside would probably deliver 80% of the value-add from a broadband-to-the-TV connection.  The interesting aspect is whether the remaining 20% of value – delivered through VoD or games or applets – warrants the additional complexity of delivery.  A simple Canvas-style box offering DVB/T broadcast channels and catch-up TV would undoubtedly hit the spot for 8 out of 10 viewers so what value investing in the rest?  Present all that catch-up as a backward and forward EPG then the service becomes easy to find and use.  Add an option to accelerate forward content (pay a little extra to see Top Gear earlier than the transmission) and you have a real winner.  And yes I know we all get very excited about the bleeding edge opportunities like TV widgets and T-commerce but my blog audience is definitely not representative of Joe Public and I do wonder if the mass-market will ever give a damn.</p>
<p>An affirmative to Question 2) would require IPTV service providers to acquire new skills and technologies to survive in such a brave new world.  In my previous blog entries, I have been banging on about the need to understand a consumer’s consumption habits so that they can be effectively ‘retailed’ to.  Unless commercial messages are contextual, current and compelling then they will not break-through and therefore not command the revenues required to make a service providers’ business model work.  I don’t dismiss the possibility of additional movie rental purchases or e-commerce revenues or applet sales but these may well be small in comparison.  In this new world targeting, data mining, meta-tagging and profiling technologies become the super stars.  This could also be a great opportunity for outsourcing – agencies that specialise in doing the difficult matching and thrive on scale.  Think DoubleClick for the TV.</p>
<p>Probably most interesting is the answer to question 3).  Traditionally the power has rested with the linear broadcast provider for subscription TV services and with the movie studios for VoD movies.  The former are now striving for, and in some cases achieving, direct relationships with consumers by in effect competing with their existing channels whilst the latter have been working hard to avoid disrupting the status quo by strictly maintaining release windows.  In a catch-up dominated IPTV world, both models will have to change.</p>
<p>It could be that broadcasters combine linear and catch-up packages, brand them completely and pay service providers purely to distribute the content.  The service provider falls back to the role of dumb carrier and monetises the network.  The broadcaster fronts customer acquisition activity by leveraging their media reach and the service providers offer installation help, guaranteed quality or discounted triple-play bundles.  Maybe not an ideal scenario for the service provider but it does allow them to ‘revert to type’ and leverage core skills.  The broadcaster gets to exploit its ‘content is king’ position but will always have an uneasy alliance with the distributor.  And both need to decide how the set-top box is funded.  Is it a universal product which can subscribe to multiple broadcaster services or a tethered offering?  Here lies the real opportunity of a Freeview/Canvas-like product, the consumer buys the box and as long as the OTT content is only ‘gatekeeped’ by the consumer then many different content providers could compete for that customer’s loyalty.  Sounds like the PC to me – one platform, many services.</p>
<p>The studios have another challenge – ensuring that their VoD delivered movies are promoted.  In my BT Vision days, we looked upon blockbuster movies as a marketing expense as the minimum guarantees and revenue shares demanded by the studios make them a loss leader.  Now in a world where catch-up is the compelling proposition then the movies need an edge and that for me is achieved by shrinking the release windows.  This would maximise the promotion ‘halo’ effect from a film launch.  Today if I see a movie on VoD, I can hardly remember its theatrical release unless it is a Harry Potter title or similar.  I also believe that broadcasters may well choose to mash-up with film aggregators, like Netflix or Lovefilm, and not bother to contract the movie rights direct – unless that broadcaster owns a studio of course.</p>
<p>So are we entering a ‘catch-up’ centric IPTV world and moving away from the traditional VoD centric model?  I would argue so but I know that you all have your own views…</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.subs.nl/profiel_icons/6154.gif" alt="" width="321" height="300" /></p>
<p>On entend parler de la catch-up TV à tous les coins de rue. Les chaînes lancent leur site internet dédié, certains pure-players draguent les networks pour essayer de nouveaux business models&#8230; On ne va pas rentrer dans les détails, il s&#8217;agit juste d&#8217;un <em>hot topic</em> actuel.</p>
<p>Le point de cette note est plus futile, plus publicitaire &#8211; CQFD pérorent les mauvaises langues&#8230;</p>
<p>On aurait préféré d&#8217;authentiques spots vintage mais des fac simili font assez bien l&#8217;affaire.</p>
<p>En vue de proposer à ses &#8220;catch-up spectateurs&#8221; une expérience de marque cohérente, le site de streaming vidéo financé par la publicité Hulu &#8211; 2e portail vidéo aux US tout de même &#8211; diffuse des films publicitaires d&#8217;époque quand vous visionnez des programmes un peu old school.</p>
<p>C&#8217;est Pepsi qui a initié cette tendance, je vous laisse découvrir les pubs programmées durant les épisodes de Starsky et Hutch.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/RFLpQxR2940&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/RFLpQxR2940&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>La question qui se pose désormais est : est-ce que tous les émissions en catch-up TV vont s&#8217;amuser à demander à leurs agences de produire des films vintage? Sans doute pas, ça risque de coûter un bras. S&#8217;amuseront-elles à exhumer les pubs d&#8217;époque très facilement grâce à l&#8217;INA? Sans doute pas, au-delà du <em>trick</em> publicitaire, ces pubs n&#8217;auraient sans doute pas beaucoup d&#8217;impact, surtout si elles vantent des produits disparus en parlant aux ados d&#8217;aujourd&#8217;hui comme à des papys&#8230;</p>
<p>En bref, c&#8217;est un pure gadget totalement inutile mais rigolo et &#8211; un peu &#8211; connivent&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Marc Tessier, ex- CEO of France Televisions (public broadcaster) and now CEO of <a title="GLOWRIA" href="http://www.glowria.fr/" target="_blank">GLOWRIA</a> one of the VoD leader in France, commented recently (March 09) on the <a title="Marc Tessier on the MediaBuzz channel" href="http://videos.lefigaro.fr/video/iLyROoafJNlr.html" target="_blank">LeBuzzMedia </a>(streamed on lefigaro.com and to Orange customers on mobile, IPTV and PC TV) about the great value catch-up TV brings to broadcasters.  Tessier considers that the on demand TV consumption will reprent around 15 to 20% of the total TV consumption in 3 to 4 years.</p>
<p>BBC was one of the first in Europe to launch their catch-up television, <a title="BBC iPlayer" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/" target="_blank">iPlayer</a>, which over a period of 5 months of operation reached 75 million video downloads and recorded 700,000 daily requests to view in April 08.</p>
<p>At the same period, &#8216;M6 Replay&#8217; of the RTL owned media company <a title="M6" href="http://www.m6.fr/" target="_blank">M6</a>, recorded 17 million viewings in its first three months of operation and had 1.2 million visitors.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Mon blog a un défaut, il ne parle que de la Bbox. Certes c&#8217;est le principe, mais j&#8217;ai envie de présenter d&#8217;autres services liés à l&#8217;internet ou à la TV. C&#8217;est ce que je vais faire désormais chaque week-end. On commence aujourd&#8217;hui avec RepeatLAB</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-644 aligncenter" title="repeatlablogo" src="http://badsl.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/repeatlablogo.gif" alt="repeatlablogo" width="135" height="90" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>RepeatLAB</strong> c&#8217;est l&#8217;équivalent de M6 Replay pour les chaînes du groupe AB, mais contrairement à ce dernier, son lancement s&#8217;est fait assez discrètement. Le service RepeatLAB vous propose de revoir gratuitement durant 7 jours des programmes des chaînes AB1, NT1, Mangas, Ciné Polar, Encyclopédia, Escales et AB Moteurs. Hélas, lorsqu&#8217;on y regarde de plus près, on constate que cela ne concerne (pour l&#8217;instant) que les chaînes AB1, NT1 et Mangas. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Les programmes sont classés par chaîne, par genre, par date et on trouve également une barre de recherche. Nouvelle déception car le choix est très restreint : les célèbres séries AB (Salut les musclés, Hélène et les garçons&#8230;), quelques émissions (culture pub, reporters, ça va se savoir&#8230;) et des dessins animés de Mangas. Bref, rien d&#8217;exceptionnel sauf pour les fans de Britney Spears qui pourront eux revoir &#8220;Britney Spears : la confession&#8221; diffusé le 1er décembre sur NT1 et déjà visionné 18499 fois ! </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Un point positif pour finir : RepeatLAB est compatible Mac avec Flip4Mac. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Il est clair que les chaînes AB sont loin d&#8217;être les meilleures, mais ce service peut toujours s&#8217;avérer pratique. Peut-être qu&#8217;il serait encore plus intéressant s&#8217;il était disponible sur sa TV via le décodeur TV de son offre triple-play (Bbox par exemple) car c&#8217;est quand même mieux de regarder la TV sur sa TV ! Là par exemple, j&#8217;ai bien envie de regarder Hélène et les garçons <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Culturebox est un site sur lequel on peut voir (voir revoir) les reportages courts qui passent dans leurs émissions. Voir un truc qu&#8217;on a raté, c&#8217;est bien, mais ce site permet aussi, éventuellement de découvrir des choses à travers des micro-reportages (aux alentours de 1 ou 2 minutes). L&#8217;interface est facile à appréhender, une sorte de mosaïque organise la prévisualisation et des info-bulles complètent le dispositif. C&#8217;est purement anecdotique mais il y a un reportage sur &#8220;tourné-monté&#8221; le festival super8 strasbourgeois, par exemple.<br />Par ailleurs le site propose aussi des exclus web (probablement les reportages recalés des magazines) et compte déjà plus de 1200 micro reportages.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Catch-up TV : premier bilan et nouveaux enjeux</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Ce service gratuit de télévision de rattrapage, qui avait pour objectif de moderniser la télé en s’adaptant aux nouveaux usages, a la côte chez Canal + et M6. D’une part car il permettrait à la chaîne cryptée de diminuer son taux de résiliation et d’autre part, pour M6, car la rentabilisation du service s’annonce plus tôt que prévu, 2009 au lieu de 2011. En effet, les annonceurs semblent s’être pris au jeu, la catch-up TV semblant être un bon lieu d’exposition sur Internet : 30 millions de vidéos visionnées et 1 million de visiteurs uniques par mois. Un Français sur deux aurait même d’ores et déjà regardé la télé en différé via ce service.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Pour les deux chaînes, la catch-up TV est vraiment voulue comme une télévision de complément et non de substitution pour ne pas porter préjudice aux revenus publicitaires de leur antenne. On vise également à ce que ce nouveau service viennent contrecarrer le piratage, notamment sur les séries américaines.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">La catch-up TV semble gagner progressivement son pari de devenir un réel relais de croissance et de revenus pour les chaînes privées. On estime aujourd’hui que ce service représentera d’ici à 2012 une source de revenus de l’ordre de 100 millions d’euros par an (source : NPA Conseil). Pour atteindre un tel niveau, grâce au concours des annonceurs, il semble toutefois encore manqué un outil d’audience fiable et sophistiqué au on-line advertising.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Cette malédiction chinoise n&#8217;est qu&#8217;une entrée en matière concernant les médias et les nouvelles technologies, bien entendu. Il se joue à Pékin des choses étranges, mais surtout autour du globe et en lien étroit avec la quatrième dimension : le temps. Les nouvelles technologies de l&#8217;information bousculent les organisations de diffusion médiatiques de la grand messe aux anneaux, et si ce n&#8217;est qu&#8217;une vaguelette pour le moment, la déferlante se profile à l&#8217;horion 2012 à Londres.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Car c&#8217;est en fin de compte le business model des médias <em>broadcast</em> qui est peut-être en train de prendre des coups. Un <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/09/sports/olympics/09nbc.html?_r=1&#38;oref=slogin">formidable article </a>du New York Times confirme certaines de mes intuitions. NBC avait payé la somme colossale de 894 millions de dollars au CIO pour obtenir les droits exclusifs de retransmission, somme que la chaîne comptait bien entendu rentabiliser avec la vente de contenu et d&#8217;espaces publicitaires.</p>
<p>A l&#8217;heure où les vidéos se postent sur YouTube en un rien de temps, où le décalage horaire n&#8217;est plus une barrière aux images car il suffit de suivre l&#8217;événement en ligne sur les sites web de chaînes situées dans le bon fuseau horaire, <strong>comment</strong> <strong>garantir son audience</strong> et donc les revenus associés ? </p>
<p>Dès le début de la cérémonie d&#8217;ouverture, <a href="http://www.nbc.com/">NBC </a>a fait la chasse aux liens, <a href="http://fr.youtube.com/">Youtube </a>aux vidéos publiées, mais la résistance s&#8217;est manifestement organisée et en particulier sur Twitter. Jeu du gendarme et du voleur, ou plutôt du douanier et des faussaires : les seconds ont toujours <strong>un temps d&#8217;avance</strong>.</p>
<p>Cela nous apprend que les amateurs de sport télévisé n&#8217;ont pas voulu attendre les retransmissions et que désormais ils peuvent choisir leur <em>momentum</em>. Ils voulaient du <em>live</em> et c&#8217;est aujourd&#8217;hui possible (enfin, presque du <em>live</em> comme nous l&#8217;apprend <a href="http://www.arhv.lhivic.org/index.php/2008/08/11/782-jo-2008-des-parties-du-feu-d-artifice-n-etaient-pas-en-direct">André Gunthert</a>, merci Narvic pour ta vigilence sur <a href="http://novovision.free.fr/?In-faux-Un-festival-de-fausses">les in-faux</a>) . NBC avait choisi de rediffuser aux moments de fortes audiences (pas les heures de bureau) pour maximiser les revenus publicitaires, certains ont contourné. Car aujourd&#8217;hui on peut s&#8217;affranchir de contraintes matérielles autrefois incontournables. Enregistrement, <em>catch-up TV</em>, pourquoi rester coincé devant la petite lucarne ? Les images, c&#8217;est quand je veux, et où je veux.</p>
<p>Certes, en procédant ainsi je ne participe pas à la grande réunion autour du poste de télévision, mais là, hélas pour NBC, le décalage horaire était favorable et permettait d&#8217;assister à la cérémonie d&#8217;ouverture <em>avant</em> sa diffusion programmée. Je pers en simultanéité (vibrer ensembles) ce que je gagne en exclusivité (voir avant les autres). La télévision était un média <em>broadcast</em> qui rendait le spectateur passif, comme la radio coinçait l&#8217;auditeur à proximité d&#8217;un récepteur (qui peut être mobile, comme en voiture par exemple). Zorro est arrivé et il s&#8217;appelle podcast, vidcast, enregistreur numérique&#8230;</p>
<p>Les pratiques évoluent doucement et l&#8217;article indique que l&#8217;hémorragie de téléspectateurs fut probablement de faible amplitude. Ce type de recherche du contenu n&#8217;a pour le moment d&#8217;intérêt que pour les grands événements (et encore : pour l&#8217;Eurovision j&#8217;émets des doutes). Mais dans 4 ans ?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Dan Phil is your classic ABC silent warrior. You can’t make change in the ABC if you go in there with your hands on your holster looking for cowbows: best to make changes quietly and then let the respect roll in and he’s certainly done that since he spoke at the inaugural Portable Symposium in 2006.</p>
<p>Last year they launched a podcast service for a few of their properties and had positive feedback from both viewers and also the executive team there.</p>
<p>A large part of the ABC rethink is about user involvement. He’s using the term “Me TV” to broadly define the changes that are going on in the realm of digital and UGC. He references the Gruen Transfer, a show that profiles interesting advertising campaigns in Australia, and its provision of a mash-up tool for users to create their own advertisements. They’ve had over 2 million page impressions and 10,000 advertisements created for the platform.</p>
<p>Good Game is a television show that premiered on ABC2 last year. It’s a show about gaming and has a large following so they set up an initiative where the audience could create and submit a project for a game through their online platform. Using a Threadless.com style model of community engagement. The final game that’s being developed is called “Office Wars”.</p>
<p>The third area, which I think is the most interesting, is iView, which offers six channels of content, mainly around “catch-up” content. It provides full screen, high definition content and I think it’s streamed through Vividas. Users can also set up their own playlists and control their own “channel” based on what they want (it also includes digital book-marking, send-a-friend functionality and a few others). Catch-up television is one of those things you see and think “this is so obvious” however it’s great that it’s here and no other providers in Australia are doing it yet.</p>

<description><![CDATA[The BBC has formed a partnership with Nintendo UK to make its BBC iPlayer &#8220;catch-up TV&#8221; ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://www.itvt.com/BBCiPlayer-logo-2008.jpg" align="left"></p>
<p><b>The BBC has formed a partnership with Nintendo UK to make its BBC<br />
iPlayer &#8220;catch-up TV&#8221; service available via the Nintendo Wii gaming<br />
console (note: last month, the Corporation also made the iPlayer<br />
available via the Apple iPhone). </b>The partnership was announced by<br />
Erik Huggers, the BBC&#8217;s group controller for future media and<br />
technology, in a keynote speech at the MIPTV-Milia conference in<br />
Cannes earlier this month. &#8220;Working with Nintendo marks another<br />
exciting milestone for BBC iPlayer,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It underlines our<br />
commitment to reaching new audiences by making BBC iPlayer </p>
<p><img src="http://www.itvt.com/bbciplayer-wii-2008.jpg" align="right"></p>
<p>available on as many platforms as possible. The BBC&#8217;s catch-up TV<br />
service can now be accessed on an increasing number of different<br />
platforms&#8211;from the Web and portable devices to gaming consoles. It<br />
will shortly be available on TV.&#8221;</p>
<p>Once the Wii iPlayer service went live, a message was sent to all Wii<br />
consoles in the UK that were connected to the Internet, to notify them<br />
of the service&#8217;s availability. Wii owners can access the iPlayer via the<br />
Internet Channel on the Wii main menu (note: new users may be<br />
required to download the Wii Internet Channel): once it is installed,<br />
they click through to bbc.co.uk/iplayer to search for programs they<br />
want to watch. According to the BBC, the current version of the Wii<br />
iPlayer service is a &#8220;beta phase&#8221; and improved versions of the service<br />
are expected to be rolled out later this year. The Corporation claims<br />
that, since it launched last Christmas, over 42 million programs have<br />
been accessed on the iPlayer. </p>
<p>Earlier this month, the BBC announced that the iPlayer enjoyed<br />
significant growth in the first three months since its official launch on<br />
Christmas Day 2007. According to the Corporation, requests for<br />
downloads and streams of its programs on the iPlayer totaled 17.2<br />
million in March, compared to 14 million in February and 11.2 million<br />
in January&#8211;representing month-on-month growth of 25%, and<br />
contributing to a total of over 42 million programs accessed on the<br />
platform since Christmas. In addition, the BBC says, average weekly<br />
users of the iPlayer totaled 1.1 million in March, compared to 750,000<br />
in January; and the average daily number of requests to download or<br />
stream programs via the platform totaled over 550,000, compared to an<br />
average of 360,000 in January. (Note: the BBC qualified its claims with<br />
the following rider: &#8220;The BBC&#8217;s iPlayer measurement system uses a<br />
sample of users and there are variances with the other page traffic<br />
measurement systems. This data is not yet audited. The BBC is<br />
working towards meeting industry standards for video and audio<br />
streaming and downloading. The BBC is constantly working on its<br />
measurement systems and reserves the right to augment or change its<br />
methodology as the platform develops.&#8221;) </p>
<p>According to the BBC, the two most-streamed programs on the iPlayer<br />
in its first three months were the first episode of the current series of<br />
the reality show, &#8220;The Apprentice,&#8221; and &#8220;Louis Theroux: Behind Bars,&#8221;<br />
a show in which the eponymous documentary-maker investigated the<br />
US penal system. Other titles appearing in the BBC&#8217;s list of top 20 most<br />
iPlayer-streamed shows include &#8220;Gavin and Stacey,&#8221; BBC One&#8217;s<br />
coverage of a rugby game between England and France, &#8220;Ashes to<br />
Ashes,&#8221; &#8220;EastEnders,&#8221; and &#8220;Torchwood.&#8221; &#8220;BBC iPlayer continues to<br />
show significant growth and we are delighted that audiences are<br />
responding to it so positively,&#8221; Ashley Highfield, the BBC&#8217;s<br />
then-director of future media and technology, said in a prepared<br />
statement. &#8220;Its initial performance proves the case not only for BBC<br />
iPlayer, but for all video-on-demand services over the Internet, and<br />
benefits both our audiences and the industry as a whole. We continue to<br />
work closely with the internet service providers with a view to driving<br />
the next generation of broadband Internet access.&#8221; Added Jana Bennett,<br />
the BBC&#8217;s director of vision: &#8220;The depth and range of the BBC&#8217;s<br />
programming is genuinely prospering in an on-demand world. The<br />
series opener of &#8216;The Apprentice&#8217; was the first program to break<br />
through 100,000 requests-to-view in a single day, and then added<br />
200,000 further requests-to-view over the week it was available.<br />
Audiences are picking up on the big drama, factual and entertainment<br />
highlights of the season after the linear broadcast, as well as embracing<br />
the best of BBC Three. Within the last few days, the season premiere of<br />
the new series of &#8216;Doctor Who&#8217; generated over a 150,000 requests in a<br />
single day, which bodes well for the future.&#8221; Among other things, the<br />
popularity of the iPlayer has resulted in an increasing volume of<br />
complaints from UK broadband ISP&#8217;s. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"> <img src="http://matv.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/00965980.thumbnail.jpg" alt="00965980.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En novembre dernier j&#8217;écrivais que sur <a href="http://matv.wordpress.com/2007/11/05/catch-up-m6y-a-plus-rien/" target="_blank">la catch-up M6/CI3 il n&#8217;y avait plus rien</a> et bien c&#8217;est toujours le cas ! Mais voilà M6 vient de lancer le 19 mars une nouvelle offre de catch-up TV, ou plutôt une <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration:underline;">vraie</span> offre de rattrapage des émissions de la chaîne. Ca s&#8217;appelle <a href="http://www.m6replay.fr/" target="_blank">M6 Replay</a> et pour l&#8217;avoir essayé, c&#8217;est vraiment pas mal du tout ! </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Bien sûr, il y a une différence de taille avec l&#8217;offre présente sur CI3 : <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight:bold;">M6 Replay n&#8217;est disponible que sur son PC</span> (et pas sur Mac) avec Internet Explorer &#8220;6 et +&#8221; et Windows Media Player 11. Avec Firefox ça ne semble pas fonctionner&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Il faudra donc se contenter de revoir les programmes de M6 sur son PC ! C&#8217;est dommage car contrairement à ce que M6 proposait sur la TV par ADSL, M6 Replay est vraiment <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight:bold;">complet et totalement gratuit</span> ! On peut revoir la Nouvelle Star, des bonnes séries comme Bones, Californication, Les 4400 et autres, ou encore des émissions comme Capital. Je le repète (notamment pour les séries) c&#8217;est GRATUIT !!!! Et ça fonctionne bien, et l&#8217;image est de qualité&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Rien à voir donc avec la catch-up TV lancée en janvier 2007 sur Club-Internet TV où les séries étaient payantes et les émissions anciennes. M6 Replay c&#8217;est du récent, du bon contenu et du gratuit ! Je l&#8217;attends donc avec impatience sur ma TV avec Neuf-Club&#8230;on peut toujours rêver ! </p>
