cloud dvr technical
"Access Cloud DVR recordingsView On Demand entertainment"
A cloud DVR is a service that records television or streaming content on remote servers instead of on a physical device in a viewer’s home, letting users pause, rewind or save programs from any internet-connected device. For investors, cloud DVRs matter because they affect subscriber experience, ongoing bandwidth and storage costs, licensing and copyright obligations, and potential recurring revenue from premium recording features—similar to replacing a home VCR with a rented, centrally managed storage locker.
on demand technical
"Access Cloud DVR recordingsView On Demand entertainment"
On demand describes goods, services or payments that are delivered or must be fulfilled immediately when a customer or counterparty requests them, rather than on a fixed schedule. For investors it signals different business dynamics—on‑demand models can drive quick revenue and flexible customer use but often lead to less predictable income, variable costs and different cash‑flow needs; think of it like choosing a pay‑as‑you‑go taxi versus a prepaid bus pass.
connected tvs technical
"as measured on connected TVs, gaming consoles and streaming devices."
Connected TVs are televisions or set-top devices that use the internet to run streaming apps and on-demand video instead of relying only on traditional broadcast signals. For investors, they matter because they change how viewers are counted and monetized—shifting ad dollars and subscription revenue toward platforms that can target and measure individual viewing, much like a smartphone turns a simple phone call into a data-driven app experience.
