Next Generation Replay Experience solves the most pressing consumer frustrations in relation to watching television programs in catch-up or replay environment. These frustrations include missing out on the first couple of minutes of a program because they were not recorded, having to sit through a few minutes of advertisements before the program finally starts because the program started later than scheduled, or wanting to binge-watch a series but not being able to smoothly transition to the next episode. The products suite also makes it easier for consumers to decide whether or not to spend their time or mobile data on a specific program, by providing the perfect image to reflect the content.
