TV Search
Most set-top-boxes do not have the processing power to offer a sophisticated search algorithm, making it hard for users to discover specific shows they are interested in. Using The TV Genius content discovery platform, you can provide a sophisticated search and recommendations platform on any set top box that has a back-channel connection.
Search on a set top box on Sky Active
The search can be integrated into the main EPG on the device and further used to implement enhanced series link recordings, including recording all shows with specific actors, sports, or other search terms, as well as providing personalisation functionality with saved searches and email reminders.
You can see examples of set top box search using our platform on Sky’s Active service in the UK.
