October 2012
The rise of over-the-top (OTT) TV combined with the
proliferation of smart devices in the living room has produced a demonstrable
effect on two long-standing pillars of TV discovery and navigation: the
electronic page guide (EPG) and the remote control.
The year 2012 has seen the digital era viewer mature into
someone who is more likely to connect to the internet than pick up the remote
control to watch a video.
A new 22-page report from Rider Research called "How
Second Screen Apps, Tablets & OTT Are Changing TV Viewing Habits; The
Coming Demise of the EPG and the Remote" examines how recent trends in the
changing nature of TV search and discovery are threatening to drive EPGs and remote
controls the way of the dinosaur.
A new non-linear, OTT world has arrived where viewers can
choose from among tens of thousands of shows that are always available and on
every device they own.
This report is based on recent articles taken from the digital
media strategy bulletin, “The Online Reporter” and on new reports, summaries
and conclusions.
Amongst other features, “How Second Screen Apps, Tablets
& OTT Are Changing TV Viewing Habits” report:
* Explains how enhancements in the use of metadata are
increasing the effectiveness of search and discovery.
* Introduces metadata search and recommendation engines
companies and their products.
* Examines “Second Screen” devices, services and trends.
* Provides a listing of companies with second screen EPG

* Makes an exploration of “Neo EPG” second screen apps

internet connected-touchscreen smartphones and tablets.

consumers respond to these new “smarter” TV tools.
