Motive Television Announces "Video to Go" Brings Television Anytime Anywhere- VOD for iPads London 20 July, 2011 -- Motive Television plc announces today it has developed a major advancement in its Television Anytime Anywhere platform enabling the seamless loading of recorded movies and other pre-recorded material to laptops, iPads and other tablet and mobile devices. The advancement allows viewers to transfer a recorded file from their set-top box to a second screen, or mobile device, to watch anytime, anywhere without the need for an internet signal.

It also provides opportunities for the hospitality industry, airport lounges, and coffee houses to offer Video to Go to their customers. Motive will be launching this product this autumn, enabling operators and broadcasters to provide: * The sideloading of VOD content for viewing anytime and anywhere on any iPad, tabletor mobile platform. * The provision of a branded device user interface with social networking interactivity. Anthony Combe, CTO and VP Engineering of Motive said, "We are able to combine and extend Motive's flexible, patented and proprietary technology to help our clients create a wide range of consumer services. Connecting the television with the second screen is an exciting advance both for Motive and a number of different industries." Leonard M.
