Anyone with a PC can now expand their viewing access to watch all types of premium content, simply by connecting the DTT key decoder. Plugged into a USB port on the PC and without the need for connection to the Internet, the device transforms the PC into a digital TV.
The Nagravision solution offers live viewing, recording of premium content with the PC acting as a DVR, a program guide and two mini antennas for better reception. The removable device decrypts the content using a Nagravision conditional access solution, with a SIM card managing user rights.
The complete pre-integrated solution is available today, compatible with both desktop and laptop personal computers. It does not require a set-top box to function and is compatible with any DVB DTT network in the world, meaning that it can be rolled this out in future without having to start from scratch.
The SmarDTV DTT USB key decoder is a complementary way of getting the most out of DTT Pay-TV services, as well as providing access to free-to-air services. The key gives subscribers the option to watch content on their PC, for a more easily accessible viewing experience either at home or when away.
Subscribers are often get frustrated by not being able to access services when they are on vacation, or just away from home. The removable adapter gives them guaranteed continued access to their subscription wherever they are within the national DTT coverage area.
In this respect, the PC solution complements existing TV offers perfectly, and gives the operator access to new target groups, particularly young adults who may not even have a television set.
