A
GDBTV IP Technology Gives Adult Channels Integrated TV Penetration
Iinternet protocol television (IPTV) technology supplier, Global Digital
Broadcast (GDBTV), has partnered with Philips Electronics to launch the first
television set with a fully-integrated IPTV service.
For the first time ever, adult channels will be able to target 50 million plus
homes across Europe alone.
Using GDBTV's channel management software, the channels will be able to deliver
to the whole range of Philip's new television sets. This finally opens the door
for adult shopping channels, which, gives consumers the chance to purchase all
kinds of adult novelties in the privacy in their own home, directly from their
television sets.
The original deal, for GDBTV's EPG to be included on Philips' Net TV integrated
IPTV service, with expected sales of 50 million television sets in Europe, has
now been expanded to also include GDBTV's GoXXXTV adult offerings, with dual PIN
protection for age verification as standard security.
Launching this month, as an included service, GoXXXTV is also set to get its own
dedicated adult platform on the service as from January 2010.
Channels include: Private; Harmony Films (UK); Seymore Butts (USA); Vivid
(International); DBA Supercore XXX (DE); Sweet Pictures (NL); Belais Production
APS (DK); TV Polari XXX; the PornXXX channel (UK); and Wrist Action (UK);
GDBTV co-founder and managing director, Jim Deans, comments: While set-top
box services remain popular, we have always known it would be an integrated TV
service which would really launch IPTV into consumers' homes. We are happy we
can also now extend this service to our adult clients.
