BBC Video Remix Spin-Off Masher Launches After Securing Finance| paidContent:UK
Masher was conceived as a prototype by BBC Motion Gallery, the commercial video library that licenses clips to and from a number of broadcasters, but was acquired by the investors in July. The business model will be ads and sponsorship on the Masher site plus licensing fees for white-label versions of the service, Clifton said.

Will the recession hit pay-TV? - Brand Republic News - Brand Republic
After surveying 1022 UK consumers, the research company stated that 18 plan to reduce their spending on TV channels next year while another 6 will forego extra services because of the slowdown. Associate director Tim Barber speculated that Freeview 'will benefit at the expense of paid-for television services'. Sky contests Continental's claims, citing its latest results to back its case. The company passed the 9m subscriber mark during the three months to September, and defied tough conditions to increase average annual revenue per user ARPU by 19, to 430, reducing churn to 10.9. - brandrepublic.comwww.brandrepublic.comTuesday 11 November 2008, PM

Hauppauge myTV Pocket Freeview PMP | Register Hardware
Hauppauge's myTV underwhelming design From the outside, the myTV is underwhelming, having a touch of the old kitchen transistor radio about it. Still, the 200g, 122 x 78 x 18.4mm device feels well built and solid, with the exception of the flip-out plastic stand on the back, which is rather flimsy and can be effortlessly pulled out of its hinge housing. The 3.6in, 320 x 240 screen certainly won't cause the folk at Archos or Cowon to lose any sleep, but it's crisp, clear and bright enough for the job in hand. - reghardware.co.ukwww.reghardware.co.ukWorld Screen - Digital Days - October 2008

ITV is preparing for a serious fall in advertising revenues over the final three months of the year, warning yesterday that it expects sales in the final quarter to be almost a tenth down on the same period last year.

That's mainly to do with the standard-definition channels, which really should look better on digital satellite than they do on Freeview. As you would expect, the Foxsat-HDR is capable of recording up to 1080i video, which it stores on its internal 320GB hard drive. - crave.cnet.co.ukcrave.cnet.co.uk

Terrestrial - News - Freeview mode switch hits old boxes, TVs - Digital Spy
TVs manufactured as late as 2004 may stop receiving digital terrestrial television due to a transmission mode change designed to improve Freeview coverage. The change, from 2k mode to 8k mode, is likely to happen at the completion of switchover in 2012 except in some parts of the UK - particularly in the south east of England - where constraints on the amount of spectrum that may be used for digital TV broadcasting may necessitate a mode switch in 2011. Although the 8k mode is generally more robust and less susceptible to impulse interference from household electrical goods, some older digital terrestrial boxes and integrated digital TVs do not support it. - digitalspy.co.uk
