Scope of Global Pay TV Market Report:

Pay television refers to subscription-based television services, which are typically provided by multichannel television providers but are increasingly available via digital terrestrial and streaming television. Pay television is also known as subscription television and premium television. Pay TV usually bundles content and requires the customer to purchase a specialized coaxial cable or satellite dish network set-top unit. To avoid service theft, pay TV signals are encrypted. Each cable or Satellite Company’s proprietary set-top box has a tuner that can receive the provider's encrypted digital television (DTV) signals and convert them to a format that the television can comprehend. The concept is most commonly associated with premium entertainment services that focus on movies or general entertainment programs, but it can also refer to sports and adult entertainment. Pay television channels are available in a variety of price ranges. Many advertising-supported channels combine this revenue with a cheaper subscription charge. Pay television first appeared in the United States in the late 1970s and early 1980s as encrypted analogue over-the-air broadcast television that could be decrypted with appropriate equipment. Throughout the multi-channel transition and into the post-network era, the concept expanded quickly. The global demand for pay television is being strengthened by the development of increased use of internet, better customization in channel subscription and other factors.

During the Covid-19 outbreak, governments in various countries took precautions that resulted in temporary shutdowns. The need for entertainment has increased, resulting in an increase in the use of pay TV subscriptions.

However, as people gain a better understanding of the internet and the need for pay TV for amusement in order to protect social distance, the demand for pay TV has increased. People who work or learn from home require a way to communicate with one another, which has increased the need for pay TV market growth.

The new box will include 4K, HDR video quality, Wi-Fi, 1TB of storage (twice the old BT TV box's PVR capacity), Dolby Atmos audio, a Bluetooth remote, and four tuners (i.e. allowing customers to record up to 3 shows and watch a fourth simultaneously). It also anticipates the rollout of a new image-led user interface (UI) for both new and current BT TV users. The integrated search feature on the BT TV Box Pro helps to speed viewing and eliminates the need to remember which Programme is on which platform. The set-top box from BT TV also has pause, rewind, and record functions.
