Been holding this for a while and while there is nothing to set the world on fire there are positive moves upwards.The sales teams are producing results marketing a product which seems to be gaining approval in many countries.Although one swallow does not mean summer is here, there is a hint of spring in the air.

needs to break 0.04p.

can it do it.

Could see some action tomorrow.

Motive will launch the dongle and related app in time for the opening group games, which will take place in Brazil in June 2014.

I fear there will be a grey (Black??) Market in counterfeit dongles, unless MTV is very clever. Like requiring registered-users to phone the Co each day to get the code for their dongle - by that means counterfeit dongles might be sussed and given priority to determine the User has paid . . . . or have I got the Business-Model wrong . . . . anyone?

This is the news that will push the company higher about time .

Motive Television hooks up with Latin American heavyweight
By John Harrington January 28 2014, 8:02am

January has been a busy month for TV software pioneer Motive Television (LON:MTV) and it is keeping up the momentum with a new strategic agreement.

It has entered a joint sales arrangement with Castalia Communications, a leading independent distributor of broadcast, satellite, cable and web-based programming covering Latin America.

Castalia will market turn-key video-on-demand solutions to pay television operators and terrestrial broadcasters throughout the region combining Motive's commercially proven Content Express product with Castalia's access to content rights.

Content Express is Motive's new "one stop shop" platform, which encompasses both proven and new capabilities of Motive’s patented technology.

"Castalia is a valuable partner with a strong reputation and extensive client base in the region," said Motive's chief executive officer, Leonard Fertig.

"Our patented and fully integrated revenue enhancing technology-based solutions allow us to jointly create new business opportunities for our clients. Castalia's content and regional expertise will help us build on our success in developed and emerging markets in Europe, Africa and North America," he added.

Luis Torres-Bohl, president of Castalia, hailed Motive's technology for the way it used existing content distribution networks to provide content and value added services to viewers across multiple devices.

Content distributors can make money out of offering these new services without having to make a chunky investment in new technology or infrastructure.

"We are excited to join with Motive and offer our clients the ability to benefit from video-on-demand with this content and technology package, and look forward to working with them to enhance and grow their business models," Torres-Bohl said.

Just a small punt for me.

Tablet Television Moves Toward Commercial Launch

London 7 April 2014: Motive Television PLC ("Motive" or "Company") today announces that the following announcement was made by Tablet Television LLC, a joint venture of Motive Television plc and Granite Broadcasting Corporation ("Granite"):

TABLET TELEVISION MOVES TOWARD COMMERCIAL LAUNCH
-America's First Broadcast TV Service for Tablets Available for
Live Demo at 2014 NAB Show(R)-
-Announces San Francisco as First Beta Market in Partnership with
Granite Broadcasting's KOFY-TV-
Tablet Television LLC [www.tablet-tv.com], America's first broadcast TV service for tablets, announced today during a press conference at the 2014 NAB Show briefing room #N242 that Tablet TV is available for live demo at the 2014 NAB Show taking place April 7-10(th) at the Las Vegas Convention Center Booth N2439 in the North Hall. The Company also announced today plans for its first beta market test in San Francisco and start of commercial operations in the fall 2014.
Tablet TV LLC, a joint venture of Motive Television plc and Granite Broadcasting Corporation, truly puts television a touch away for portable devices with no subscription fee, cable, satellite or Internet required.

Utilizing existing ATSC distribution viewers will be able to receive direct, free over-the-air television transmissions to their portable devices. This first broadcast TV service for tablets will enable viewers to watch and record live broadcast content in high definition in every market in the U.S. and, in association with local broadcasting partners, will be able to provide on-demand packages. Additional features such as fully-integrated social television will be available to Internet connected viewers.


Tablet TV will conduct its first full market beta test this summer in San Francisco. The beta test will be conducted in partnership with Granite's KOFY-TV. Leading up to the San Francisco launch, Tablet TV expects to work with Frank N. Magid Associates, Inc. to fine tune its feature and service offering, as well as its consumer marketing efforts. Tablet TV expects to commence commercial operations in fall 2014.


Leonard M Fertig, CEO of Motive commented, "We are extremely pleased with the successful testing of the commercial design, which utilizes Motive's proven technology in use in markets around the globe, and the continued progress toward the launch of Tablet TV. Tablets are the fastest growing media device in U.S. history and the ability to directly watch and record over-the-air HD television and receive VoD with no broadband connection creates a compelling proposition for anytime, anywhere, any device viewing."


Granite Chairman Peter Markham commented, "Tablet TV is a unique service that we envision making available to every viewer in the U.S. with a tablet and access to a local television station signal where the most popular programs on free Over the-Air (OTA) television are found. It is a broadcaster friendly offering that requires no capital investment and enhances local broadcaster's business models by extending their brand and content, leveraging their existing digital distribution network, and creating new revenue opportunities. With a compelling offering for viewers and broadcasters we look forward to our beta launch in San Francisco later this year, a technology savvy market that we believe will be very receptive to Tablet TV."


Tablet TV will be the first complete television service for the U.S. market of 140 million tablet users using the current over the air high definition (HD) ATSC broadcast television signals that will provide access to current HD broadcast television prime time TV and sports, plus on-demand movies and programs. The new television service will be marketed in cooperation with participating broadcasters in each market as it rolls out across the United States, starting with the television markets that Granite Television serves.


With patented and proprietary technology, tablet owners in every market will be able to watch and record all the programming currently broadcast over all the digital terrestrial channels and networks. Additionally, Tablet TV subscribers will be able to download a selection of video-on-demand movies and programs without the need for Internet access and, when they are connected, use integrated social networking and access anything available over the Internet.


Video viewing on tablets is rapidly increasing, with recent figures from GFK showing that 33% of Americans own a tablet and watch at least one hour of video every day on them. According to the DRG U.S. Personal Computer, Tablet, & Mobile Phone Historical Baseline and Forecast, U.S. Tablet users exceeded 140 million in 2013 with active tablets in use projected to exceed 340 million by 2017.

All wonderful stuff, no doubt, but the really interesting thing is omitted....where's the Profit?

Without a decent income stream MTV is collecting Deals that have little shareholder value . . . hence the miserable sp.
EDIT(8July2014)- Wow! Yesterday ~0.01p and plus38% today as things are "improving" - but TO is small, Losses reduced but no profits - yet. Still they seem to be active in good Partnerships, if they can stand the Long Term - therein lies the issue - do they have the Stamina?
EDIT(29Sept2014)-Oops, missed Dir Buys in July2014: about a Grand apiece - hardly says Buy. Indeed, IMHO, Dir-buying below £50k-worth says Sell. We shall have to wait and see.....
The Warrants granted to other Dirs doesn't appear to encourage them investing their own money in this business. . . . Ho-Hum.

The world of broadcasting is set for a real shake up over the next few years,and according to a detailed industry report to be issued next week Tablet Tv will account for as much as 35% of the future viewing audiences.Leading broadcasters are aware that standalone Tablet Tv could have a very significant impact on the industry as a whole,and offers unique advantages for their advertisers and content providers.

The report also states that the future of Tablet Tv will steer towards an "over the air" concept,rather than internet streamed services,yet still offer full "interactive services" for both live broadcasts and "on demand".The forecasts are that Tablet Tv will become the biggest growth area in the industry over the next five to ten years,and one industry analyst believes the market will be worth in excess of $6 billion by 2020.One company at the heart of the action in Tablet Tv is Motive Television,who are a small british company led by Leonard Fertig,known as an innovator and visionary leader who has frequently been at the leading edge of the industry.The report will be published on 19th August.

Hurrah for tablet TV but will MTV be in the running to mop up some of the gravy? For the price of a good curry you can pick up a million or so. I would think that the first step will be to knock some of the noughts off . But Hi Ho I have been in it for the long haul and its certainly that. Now and then I buy up a few more as I still believe very much that this is the future.

Tablet TV Sees Huge Opportunity Ahead Of San Francisco Launch

http://www.wfla.com/story/26360699/tablet-tv-sees-huge-opportunites-ahead-of-san-francisco-launch

The once mighty Aereo has been sunk, and as a result competitor Tablet TV has a real chance to become the go-to source for over-the-air broadcast TV on the go. The project is a joint venture between Granite Broadcasting and the U.K.-based Motive Television that aims to let people watch locally broadcast television on their tablets. Originally, the project was broadly slated for a summertime beta test in the San Francisco market and a tentative autumn roll-out, but Tablet TV has zeroed in on an official launch on Black Friday (November 28) and, prior to that, beta-testing in San Francisco beginning early next month, according to coverage from the San Francisco Chronicle.

If all goes according to plan, Tablet TV will involve a portable ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) tuner with a Wi-Fi transponder that can, via Tablet TV’s app, send over-the-air broadcast signals to Android tablets and iPads. It can also receive a datacasting stream embedded in the ATSC signal, which Tablet TV plans to use for support of a still-in-development video on-demand service. Consumers sign up and then receive a “kit” with the required app and the tuner device. Consumers won’t pay for the basic over-the-air content but, once developed, the VOD service will require payments via either subscription and/or pay-per-view methods.

Tablet TV has also come up with a name for the device behind the service: the T-Pod. It’s essentially a digital TV antenna, tuner, and digital recorder, bundled together into one handheld device. And as far as cost, the company is currently vacillating between $50 and $100.

The inclusion of the embedded signal is the difference that makes Tablet TV legitimate (and cheaply implemented), as opposed to Aereo’s alleged illegality.

On the other hand, broadcasters who decide to join forces with Tablet TV are expected to market the service on their own, in addition to making bandwidth available for the datacast-streamed VOD service. And for all of this, Tablet TV promises some coin: its broadcasters-in-arms will receive co-op marketing payments, a cut of the VOD profits, and – perhaps the central cash cow – incremental advertising revenue as the service’s audience base expands.

It’s not entirely clear at this point whether customers will be able to use Roku, Chromecast or other related tools to move content from their tablets to larger viewing devices, but we’ve reached out to Tablet TV and will update this article as we gather more information.

Updated by Alex Tretbar 8/27/2014 10:30 PM PST: This article has been updated to include Tablet TV’s announcement that the service is set to officially launch on Black Friday (November 28). Until then, the project will undergo beta testing beginning early next month in San Francisco.

30% fall today - now 001p - Market knows best???
This stock is always +-20% almost every other day - but today, this is a dire fall.
EDIT (14OCT2014) - driver, let's hope you bought wisely, but fr my perspective I wondr who will buy those shares off you?
My suspicion is that they don't have any exclusive IP or First-mover advantage - and as soon as Tablets are everywhere there will be multiple ways to access....and multiple ways to broadcast, leaving MTV with little to do, but watch. 1mil are now £100 + Charges. -&- BussyBee what thoughts, eh?
EDIT (23Oct2014)- Today down 33% to .01p -DYOR- looks like today's Issue of ~800million shares has diluted earlier Buys . . . Ooops!
EDIT(7Jan2015)- Odd D-E deal with Bergen DYOR - looks like dilution and they promise not to Short-Sell . . . .so, that's alright. Yet sp 001p that's looking rather Low after all the ??? good progress. Anyone using their Tech in the UK, yet?

Topped up, new low for me..

Tablet TV is on its way..

The social media promotion will start at the end of October and will include Facebook and Twitter promotions focusing on how TTV is preparing for the launch, how being part of San Francisco technology community is beneficial to TTV and the Company, and countdown engagement campaigns.

-- Granite's television station, KOFY and Tablet TV will share a stand at The Half Moon Bay Art and Pumpkin Festival, an annual event held in the coastal community of Half Moon Bay, California on the 18 and 19 October 2014, during pumpkin harvest season. TTV will use this opportunity to demonstrate Tablet TV, promote the launch, and the sign up of early buyers. This festival is one of the oldest and largest local festivals in California and is attended by almost 100,000 people over the course of two days.

-- An active news strategy will increase local and national awareness, following on the front-page article in the San Francisco Chronicle in August 2014.

As described in earlier announcements, technical beta testing has been underway in San Francisco since 25 September and will conclude by 19 October of this year. Marketing beta testing will occur during the first two weeks of November following the next release of the user interface and app in October.

Tablet Television will be available through an e-commerce website supported by a major online sales organization providing fulfillment and customer care. TTV is in discussions with the leading audience measurement and analytics providers to provide audience measurement and analysis.

Luc Tomasino, head of marketing and launch architect for TTV commented, "We want to tell people who we are, where we are, and what we are about. We are all about San Francisco but very global (SF, NY, Barcelona, London) - which in a lot of ways is what San Francisco is all about. San Francisco is one of the coolest and most international cities in the world. Where better than to take an international service and start it here."

Motive CEO Leonard M Fertig added, "Tablet TV has worked carefully over the past year to prepare for this moment.The envisioned launch in the heart of Silicon Valley and America's most independently-minded city is an exciting start to what Motive believes will be a strong and successful business both domestically and around the world.

CON solidation
In Sept 2014 the MTV said there were 35763-million shares in issue DYOR
on 6 March they said 10220-million which is a CON solidation of 3.5:1
However, something makes me think it was a 5:1 CON solidation, but I cannot find an RNS setting out the proposal which resulted in the General Meeting in March 2015.

Anyone confirm this?
As usual IMHO, Co's try to avoid showing their hand to investors and potential investors in case ..... dunno.
