The Need

TV viewing habits are changing rapidly. More and more viewers are shifting towards consuming TV content in a non linear way. Non linear TV applications come in many shapes and forms. The most deployed is the Video on Demand (VOD) and the fastest growing one is the Personal Video Recording (PVR) set-top-boxes. Other time shifting applications include start-over, push VOD and many more.

Every viewer watching TV On-Demand is one less viewer being exposed to ads in the traditional TV spots system. The TV advertising market is already losing billions of dollars each year due to the fast adoption rate of Non Linear TV.
