  • Two years ago when we launched iPlayer our goals and challenges were largely technical - scalability, reliability, video encoding
  • next set of challenges was not so much technical as social
  • "As people begin moving from television to the web, what happens to the role of the linear TV scheduler as the tastemaker
  • platform capable
  • the scheduler is the leading tastemaker.
  • iPlayer does a fine job of satisfying the time-shifted desires
  • BBC schedulers create the desire to watch a programme; iPlayer lets you see it at a time that's convenient to you
  • what if you no longer watched linear TV? Who becomes the tastemaker then?
  • largely theoretical problem
  • iPlayer home page that feels almost more like an application than a traditional web site
  • in the world of YouTube where there is no master scheduler who can shape demand.
  • clear evidence that linear TV created the demand while iPlayer satisfied it.
  • wanted it to become a driver of demand, s
  • The question then is, in a world which cannot be driven by schedulers
  • if schedulers are going to be augmented by your friends as drivers of consumption in the future, the challenge for the team was to integrate friends and social into the iPlayer

  • rely on Favourites to give me a constant stream of things to watch

  • irst, it’s great to see that the internet is capable of such a high amount of live concurrent users of streaming media. The internet remains a great way of reaching at-work listeners: where it’s hard to smuggle in a radio, and reception conditions are far from ideal. However, acros all platforms (including FM/AM), the total ‘live concurrent users’ for radio peaks at 17.6 million (between 08:00 and 08:30, weekday mornings, according to RAJAR q4/2008). UK internet broadcasting has hit a new record –

    Sky Store brings 1000+ on-demand movies to Sky Anytime+ 8 Mar 2012 Sky has expanded its pay-per-view movie offering for customers with Sky Anytime+. The new Sky Store replaces Sky Box Office and has over 1000 films available to watch on-demand. SD movies start at just 99p, rising to £3.99 for blockbuster new movies in HD. Sky also confirmed that Sky Anytime+ will be available to all Sky customers from Easter - a Sky Broadband subscription will no longer be required. Sky Anytime+ delivers a wide range of on-demand content for free as well as offering pay-per-view films. Sky is at pains to point out that its pay-per-view movies, via the new Sky Store if you're an Anytime+ customer, are cheaper than iTunes and Lovefilm in many instances. New releases are £3.49, library movies are £1.99 and special offers are 99p. HD films rather than SD will cost 50p more. Sky Box Office will continue as the place for non-Sky Anytime+ customers to choose from a more limited range of the latest movies on the live channels from £3.49 per title. All Sky TV customers meanwhile can rent movies on a pay-per-view basis from the new Sky Store on laptops via the Sky Go application, which already has a Sky Movies application, too.

It then selects the adverts which best match a household's profile and inserts them into a live ad break. The line-up of adverts is based on a customer's postcode alongside publically available demographic information from third-party providers including the data services company Experian."

  • daptive HTTP Streaming leverages standard webservers, it is supported by webhosters and CDNs alike.
