CWG2010 up bringing New Digital TV Technologies - IPTV

CWG2010 is all set to bring country's biggest sports event on 3^rd October 2010. Well the CWG2010 has definitely done a lot of development for Delhi. Lots of new flyovers, bridges, Metro, parking, bus stands etc. have been developed. World's largest Bus Depot was launched a few days back. We all are watching these infrastructural developments in Delhi, but not only the infrastructure has improved but with CWG, television too is getting latest technologies.

DoorDarshan got HD, which means now the experience of watching the games will be double fun as you will be getting high definition digital quality videos. Another big thing that nation will be hearing about is the use of IPTV. Yes! the CWG village will be providing IPTV services to the players along with the luxury rooms. iControl IPTV which is providing IPTV services along with BSNL / MTNL in 22 cities of India is gonna make it possible. They recently updated on Facebook and Twitter about the news that they will be providing IPTV services for the CWG village. For those who are new to the word IPTV can read my earlier blogs on IPTV.

IPTV technology has lots of features making TV viewing experience lot better. iControl provides features like time shift (named CHILL & COOL). CHILL lets its viewers watch all the that was telecasted on TV up to last 7 days while COOL lets the viewers rewind-pause-play LIVE TV. This means players at their free time can watch all that they missed during their matches. It will be a real high tech facility that they will be getting. Though IPTV is already present in lots of European countries and others as well but, in India its still an emerging technology and hence its presence in games up brings the IPTV in digital technologies. Lets hope that after the games India will get a step ahead of DTH and will initiate to go for IPTV.

No more Idiot Box, The Digital TV is Here

Those were the days, the days when watching your own TV was Royal. Classic times, when movies were telecasted once in a week. The mythological shows were everyone's favorite. Making sure that no single episode should be missed. The time when changing channel wasn't that easy. When TV was only a "tele" "vision" (only limited channel views).

Gone are the days of those Idiot Box (Idiot Box is a slang for television), requiring efforts. Its the time of digital TV. The time in which Royal not only means big & costly. The Royal means digital, the quality, the feature and the applications. Watching "Interactive" TV is Royal now. Having 100 TV channels is not the only thing people want today. You have 100+ channels, Music, Games and a lot more. You not only watch your TV, you now even have the Triple play options. Triple play, the technology which enables voice, data and video on your TV. What does that mean? That means you can access internet on the TV and a lot more. You use Web cams and do video conferencing through your Digital TV now.

IPTV is making all this possible, it is making television Interactive. It has Shopping, Classifieds, Play-Pause-Rewind LIVE TV and many other options for interactive TVs. Its the time when missing an episode does not mean end of the world. You no more rush to watch your favorite show. You smartly go back to the time and watch the missed show using Time Shift features. Shopping or window shopping, whatever it is you can do all on your TV. Just use your TV Remote and buy what you want. A lot more than 500 Movies are there in the video libraries (Video on Demand). iControl IPTV, MyWay IPTV and Airtel IPTV are three big IPTV players in India. Though iControl IPTV wins the race with its better features and facilities. FTTH is the latest buzz today, making the interaction more faster. And iControl wins here too, as it recently launched FTTH in Jaipur.

The Digital TV is making television as good and fun as it was in the golden era. Who thought of pausing the LIVE TV in the Golden Era. All that we missed in our idiot box, is now present in the Digital TV. Its the Smart TV Era – The Digital TV Era .
