The new set-top box platform enables E-Vision to keep its existing user interface and interactive applications while also providing a flexible platform for future content and services. It will ensure that customers, regardless of whether they connect via cable or IP, will find exactly the same high quality combination of programme guide, menu, content and services.
The set-top box platform is the first to share an improved version of E-Vision's existing user interface and electronic programme guide. Significantly, the new hybrid cable/IP set-top box will support E-Vision's plans to extend the reach of its TV services, beyond its cable network, to customers with ADSL broadband connections. Hybrid set-top boxes support both Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) and Internet Protocol (IP) standards allowing broadcasters and network operators to leverage both traditional one-way broadcast as well as two-way interactive IP delivery. With the new hybrid cable/IP set-top boxes E-Vision will be able to extend its TV offering to any home within the UAE with a broadband connection.
