LONDON, July 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Motive
Television PLC ("Motive" or the "Company") (AIM: MTV), the
technology provider to broadcasters and pay television operators,
is pleased to announce that it has developed a Mobile Personal
Video Recorder ("PVR"), which the Company believes is the
world's first ATSC format PVR for mobile devices. Unlike
other personal video recorders, Mobile PVR is entirely based on
proprietary Motive software.
This new product provides the ability to time shift over-the-air
programmes seen on tablets and mobile devices, and works with the
TabletTV app and TPod in the United
States. Mobile PVR uses an intuitive functionality and
interface, similar to the functions consumers have used in the home
for the past 20+ years. Users can schedule to record
programmes up to seven days in advance and then watch them for
their personal use at a later time.
TabletTV in the United States
already has the One-Touch Recording feature which permits pausing,
playing, and recording a current programme, however, the new Mobile
PVR will extend that capability to recording future programmes for
later viewing.
Mobile PVR will be introduced as a Beta version this month to
existing users of TabletTV in the U.S. and made available to the
general market in September. In the future, Motive plans to licence
its Mobile PVR software to other vendors of consumer electronics
and app providers.
Leonard M Fertig, CEO of Motive commented, "The
development and launch of Mobile PVR is another first for
Motive. It has taken significant man-years to develop a
reliable software-based video recorder that works in the mobile
device environment. This new product enhances the value of TabletTV
and confirms Motive's position as a market leader in mobile viewing
of television."
