Future Proof and Easy Legacy Migration
The proposed set-top box based solution is also a future
proof solution. Because of the using of middlewares on the settop
box, all the future required upgrades to the set-top box will
be based on the software upgrades instead of hardware change.
Besides, all the legacy set-top boxes can be easily upgraded to
interactive application enabled set-top boxes, giving a smooth
way of migration of legacy set-top boxes to set-top boxes with
advanced interactive capabilities.
All of the above mentioned three benefits will definitely
attract more customers and thus bring more revenues to the
digital TV operators.
