Have we reached the peak of innovation in television broadcasting?

Kevin Foster
Last week the IET Anglian Coastal Network hosted a fascinating webinar on ‘The Future of TV: Let’s make it personal’ which started me thinking about what the future will hold.  It doesn’t seem that long ago that only a handful of television stations were broadcasting and now with the introduction of digital terrestrial, satellite, cable and other subscription services there are thousands of channels broadcasting all over the world.

 

We can now watch what we want, when we want to watch it, where we watch it and with more ‘personalisation’, how we choose to watch it too.  So, if I want to watch the next Formula 1 race entirely from the view of the driver then I can choose to do that as well as bring up other information to enhance my viewing experience. But… what’s next?  As TV watching has evolved so quickly over the past few years, what does the future hold? Is there more innovation to come or have we reached a plateau?

    Interesting summary.

    We bought a 3D TV some years ago, largely because the salesman said that the 100Hz refresh rate made it worth the few bob extra but we did buy a 3D compatible BluRay player.

    I have only found 2 discs that are in 3D even though I scour the charity shops every time I go into one, (and one of these is in German) so the lack of media is what is holding me back from using it more.
