This issue of TELE-audiovision magazine features an innovative new Android-based receiver. The receiver introduces helpful new functions, such as a remote control that acts as a mouse for navigating the web from the couch. Receivers are evolving into command centers capable of more than just receiving TV, allowing users to surf the internet, watch photos and videos, and connect through social networks on their TV screens. Future receivers will provide these and other digital options while still receiving TV, acting as all-round command centers for the living room.

- 1. TELE-audiovision International The Worlds Leading Digital TV Industry Publication since 1981 Alexander Wiese Publisher alex@tavmag.com HQ in Munich, Germany Dear Readers, In this issue of TELE-audiovision we will present a device that well and truly can be labelled innovative: an Android-based receiver. But mind you, its not only that this box uses the Android operating system, it also introduces a number of seemingly small, but actually hugely helpful functions that add so much value to the device. My favourite feature is the remote control, which doubles as a virtual computer mouse that translates hand movements into cursor movements. What a brilliant idea! Finally, it makes sense to use your TV panel and receiver to surf the web right from your living room sofa. As a matter of fact, this new receiver is a logical step in a development we have been following for some time now: Receivers are not just receivers any more, but have evolved into command centres capable of much more than just receiving TV channels and sending a signal to the TV. Lets be honest in view of the technology that is available today, watching TV is a linear and one-directional affair. All you can do is change channels and accept the programs offered by content providers at a given time. This type of passive watching is a little yesterday, dont you think? Most of us have huge TV panels at home that will happily accept and present any type of audio/video input. So all you need is an intelligent receiver that you can match to your top-notch flatscreen TV. A new realm of possibilities will then open up right before your eyes, allowing you to surf the Internet, watch your own photos and videos, stay connected through social networks and do many other things that can be shown on a TV panel. It will be the job of future receivers to provide all those options. Receiving TV channels via the air, cable or satellite will still be an important feature, but only one among many. Internet access will be another one, in addition to all things digital. Receivers will turn into all-rounders and act as command centres taking care of all kinds of digital signals for your living room TV.
