Introduction
Advances in technology have furthered the evolution of television
from a static, one-way format to an increasingly interactive,
customizable and popular entertainment platform. To keep pace
with rising consumer demand for flexible and consolidated personal
media storage, manufacturers are ramping up investment in the
development and marketing of televisions with embedded hard
drives. In addition, manufacturers have recently introduced TVs
featuring built-in ports for removable hard drives. Further, new
modes of content delivery, including Tru2Way and Internet Protocol
Television (IPTV), continue to drive investment in the development of
consumer electronics devices that deliver on the promise of greater
interactivity and simpler interfaces.
Though consumer demand for televisions with embedded and
removable drives remains strongest in Asian markets, evidence
shows that these applications are gaining traction worldwide. These
developments expose significant market opportunities for original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
As the world’s largest maker of hard disk drives, including
drives engineered for optimum performance in a range of home
entertainment applications, Seagate can help OEMs act on these
opportunities to stay ahead of the competition and maximize
business growth.

because of the familiarity of the format, but also because of the
breadth of programming.
Even in a weakened economy, indicators show a robust market
for TVs and DVRs. Recent findings from a study conducted by
telecommunications giant Verizon indicate that TV viewing in many
