We’re about TV Communications…in a big, open way
TVBLOB was hatched seven years ago as an idea in the mind of our founder, Fabrizio Caffarelli. He thought: “Why not bring the power of the computer to the television, and let people make their own TV?”
Fabrizio had already had two successful runs in the technology world, the mostly widely known being Easy CD, the first software that let people burn CDs in their personal computers.
Four years ago, he began assembling a development team including our leading IT guru and co-founder, Pancrazio Auteri, all of whom could make the TVBLOB vision a reality.
It has been a long, challenging path, but thousands of hours of development, plus discussions and meetings with people from all over the world, have resulted in a technology platform, several Media Centers, and the services able to deliver Fabrizio’s original vision.
These are the pillars of our work:
- “Over the Top” TV: Create an “open” global TV communications platform that extends beyond geographic boundaries and allows you to use your televisions – the most pervasive household appliance in the world – to communicate with anyone. Democratize TV access, so you and any organization can send and receive TV on a personal and/or commercial level.
- “Participation” TV: Harness the power of the broadband network and enable you to “push back” as much content as you receive. Give everyone the ability to truly participate and interact with TV programs.
- Personalized TV experiences: Give you the ability to create and share your own TV experiences, from simple conversations to more complex home videos and provide you with a TV forum where you can access local information, community, and entertainment services.
- Convergence: Create a platform that offers convergence and integrates digital terrestrial, satellite and cable TV offerings. Above all, make it easy for the average consumer to manage.
- Safe Environment: Allow you and your peers to be clustered in communities, where local interests can be best served. Take precautions to create a safe and secure environment, respectful of privacy and encouraging of responsible behaviour.
