German cable operator Kabel Deutschland (KDG) plans to launch a four-tuner DVR with the capability to deliver over-the-top services to the TV later this year.
Speaking on a panel at the Cable Congress in Brussels, KDGs chief technology officer Lorenz Glatz said: ÂWe will launch a four-tuner DVR this year that can also offer some over the top content from some sources on the web and to have the living room experience of that web content.Â
GlatzÂs use of the word Âsome in this context may indicate that KDG is planning to offer only selected content from the web. ÂOver-the-top people would love to see us as a dumb pipe that just gets revenue from connectivity, said Glatz. ÂThatÂs contrary to the way we would like to see things going.Â
