TV is still the most popular form of entertainment in the home. Even with the rise of broadcasters' web services, viewers still prefer to watch TV and video on demand on a large screen in the living room. However, with the wide range of Internet content that can only be displayed on PCs, viewers have not been able to enjoy a seamless and personalised entertainment experience based around the TV, until now.

It is now possible to connect TV devices to home networks, giving viewers access to a wider range of engaging video entertainment through their TV using their broadband connection. This global trend includes Free-to-Air and Pay TV networks, bringing broadband and broadcast together in the living room for the first time. But how do network operators take advantage of this convergence to deliver a more engaging and empowering TV experience, and increase ARPU through revenue share from interactive services?

The TVsurf platform implements a new architecture and approach to build the foundations for the future television on demand. It delivers radically new paradigms for the TV experience and gets rid of the accumulated shortcomings caused by the 'patches' used in the current technological environments.

The TVsurf software implements a new and intuitive TV watching system with the capability of searching for the desired contents and programs.

TVsurf provides new technologies to help the content producers to ensure their productions will reach the right audience in a simple, direct and manageable way. The efficiency of distribution and effectiveness of their content production will be significantly improved.

TVsurf is the television search engine for the TV implementing the convergence of the broadcasting TV with online interactive contents and services: Online videos, web pages, webTVs, online services, e-comemrce, a digital video recorder and a media center.
