Greetings Earthlings!

Regrettably, this seems to be the salute with which some of the consumer-facing TV solutions of today approach their audience – albeit in the context of unintuitive user interfaces, chaotic navigation and indecipherable messages.

Lets face it: The time has come to Pimp your UI™!

I must confess that I am really stealing the tagline of the Zignal TV Platform retro-fit solution for existing IPTV deployments. Retro-fit? Yes, apparently there are a lot of folks out there with an early IPTV investment that they want to keep, while still benefiting from the advances in general usability and user-interface design.

By paying attention to existing deployments, Zignal addresses an urgent need, providing new functionality, seriously better looks and new commercial features, running side by side the existing IPTV solution – without re-investing a penny in technology that is already there.

Taking all the exciting greenfield operator ideas and concepts and making them available to the established IPTV operators is a major step in the evolution towards open platforms and non-proprietary connected entertainment systems of the future. Way to go, Zignal!
