IP Vision UK (Ltd) launched FetchTV in November 2008 as the first independent, subscription-free hybrid platform combining Over-The-Top on demand and catch-up services and broadcast services.

The Fetch TV SmartBox utilises Netgem’s technology hardware reference design, middleware and TV/PVR applications:

• Freeview+ compliant DVR

• 8-day Freeview EPG with one click recording

• Series link and recording clash resolution

• Video On Demand service using progressive download

• Simple access to catch up TV services including BBC iPlayer

• Mediacenter

• Multi-room viewing

By bringing together the best of free-to-air broadcast digital TV, along with a subscription-free on-demand service that can be delivered ‘over the top’ via any broadband connection, FetchTV has demonstrated that the key elements to creating a successful TV service are no longer about the delivery infrastructure, but about the customer proposition.
