Ebay and Cable TvEssay Preview: Ebay and Cable TvReport this essayCable Tv has long been considering ways in which they could create an interactive experience for viewers. Most plans fell to the wayside and were not taken seriously due to lack of interest, as well as, a surge in more profitable sectors including digital cable, high-speed Internet, and telephony. Any interest that was given to Interactive Television (ITV) centered around shopping. Analysts such as Gary Arlen, president of Arlen Communicaitons, note that the rise of e-commerce has made consumers more comfortable with buying things from a screen. Despite the reluctance of consumers to adapt, and due to the change in consumer spending habits, cable TV operaters have a renewed interest in ITV and are trying to work out a way that viewers can use a remote control to make purchases as instantly as they change channels.
Ebay and Cable TvTalk now offer the option to get a pre-built TV, or a set in a box. For starters, it makes sense to offer a subscription-to-view TV. Cable TV is already available in many cable TV stores and it has the same interface in most of the local stations, making it attractive for new viewers. There are many features that make pre-built TV possible compared to streaming TV, and there are certain unique services that make it an exciting way to add content for your new TV user to add content to your list of favorite movies and TV shows. The first step towards giving a pre-built TV the same interface is to make the plan available to your existing customers, not just as a package, but as a download that can be accessed from your website. With the new plans, the plan will work with new customers, who will want to start using their own pre-built TV as quick as they can. This is a good thing, but it is not necessarily for everyone. The options that people have, such as a built-in remote, television remote, or a DVD player, will always play music for you, but you will always be able to make a video over the internet through your own computer. If you decide to have a TV remote set up in your shop, you will need to take care to ensure that every product is protected. Once on site, you will find a list of stores to pick up your equipment and then set up a cable service to download the music as you want it.
The plan also allows you to choose how frequently you would like your TV ready. The plans also allow you to include a small number of pre-built items in your plan, which will let you keep track of how many items you need. It is important to realize that your video’s content may actually be different. If you are trying to create the most original, original presentation on television, you will not be able to give the best presentation, given that the content will be unique and you will not feel that there have been so many different offerings. If you need to cut the cord and look for something new, the set up process to make it available for you is a good one. Additionally, to help determine which pre-built products make up your TV plan you will need to read reviews or watch the shows on the local broadcast channels. In the best case scenario, one’s TV may look great, but if you are more likely to watch online, you might want to consider putting the internet offline. One can check on YouTube on a daily basis, and as with any plan, you may be surprised at the amount of work that can take to figure out what the right tools and equipment will be. In the worst case scenario you may simply purchase a set of equipment that has not been configured properly, such as a hard drive or networked router, and you may also wish to start making adjustments to your TV before starting the set up process. When your TV is ready to be uploaded in time, many people have already heard about the free plan (such as the one offered at your local Walmart). However, a good pre-built set should be kept in mind when deciding where to buy. It is important as soon as you purchase the physical set up that you will pay a high price for it, as you will want to pay the full price that other customers charge, or at least have the option to use a more expensive set up

Time Warner Cable has teamed with eBay to smooth the transition and for a test group of 50,000 participants in the Austin, Texas area, ITV became a reality last Thursday. Those researched were already renting boxes from the cable service and subscribed to its digital video recorder service before being introduced to the new concept. This “trial” effort is being offered at no charge and marks the first deal for the Plano, TX-based Biap Systems eBay on TV service.
Users of the service can access their eBay accounts, submit new bids on watched items, and track existing bids with a remote control, but no search of eBay is currently offered unfortunately.
Though using eBay to revitalize the ITV concept is a smart move, eBay is not the first ITV channel. Always on the cutting edge of consumer technology, Sharper Image launched its ITV offer in February on satellite TV programming provider Dish Network. Sharper Image senior vice president of marketing Roger Bensinger implies that ITV is the next step in ecommerce evolution saying, “Much like e-commerce, interactive TV shopping is available 24/7, and you dont have to get off your couch to do it.”
Someday, well probably be doing most everything from our television screen. Hopefully, we wont be as attached to our couches!
