Active-TV Ecosystem Developers,
Linked below is a long article on the new Apple TV box. Some of the key comments are: “A better bet, Swann said, is for cable and satellite television providers to upgrade their existing set-top boxes so that they can download material off the Internet, something that they have begun to do, albeit on a limited basis so far.”
Adding internet access to existing platforms is exactly the path being taken by active-TV technology. Like Apple TV, with active-TV technology the user can “wirelessly beam music, photos and videos … to your living room television”.
Another important comment is: “It doesn't work with clips that stream on YouTube”. As introduced, Apple TV is a relatively closed system. In the US, the cable company controls the channel choice. Apple TV expands living room choice to include internet content streamed or download from Apple. However, platforms supporting active-TV technology enable anyone to build a TV-web channel and offer it to the living room TV.
