Multi-platform approach
What platforms are available to SA FTA broadcasters to allow for
multichannel bouquets?
8
Pay Tv • Offers
universal coverage
• Content fragmentation for FTA channels
• Capacity for HD not available for FTA
DTT • Yet to be
launched
• DTT can be a strong platform but there is no capacity for HD
Mobile TV • Low consumer
penetration and limited support from device manufacturers but spectrum is available
FTA/V DTH • Offers
universal coverage at low transmission rates
• No spectrum constraints – route to HD
OTT
• Low consumer penetration within FTA market
• Limited access to affordable broadband

e On Demand
In 2013, e.tv launched e On Demand offering, along with the
channel’s new website
e On Demand launched with a ‘for the shows you missed’ campaign,
featuring superstar soaps, Rhythm City and Scandal and other older
episodes of core shows
e On Demand also offers catch-up service for reality shows such as
Step Up or Step Out. The full episode was available to the e.tv
audience for free the day after it aired.
This is a huge success and we consistently see high downloads.

Challenges of OTT Services
Deployment
16
Business Model – creating new business model to monetize content
for free-to-air broadcasters
Devices – explosive number of new devices coupled with
complexities of displaying high quality video on multiple screens
Back End – complexities of content management for OTT services,
particularly Catch-Up & VoD services, integrated with traditional TV
content management
Front End – applications and security are critical to successful OTT
deployment
CDN – CDN environments, number of players, opacity of pricing,
quality of experience will vary from one area to another
