Re: Sky Italia Challenges
I think the current trend is watching digital streaming.
Netflix is surely working on integrating their OTT with AI capabilities. I already mentioned a link to one of the articles that talk about Netflix AI plans.

Re: UHD
@elizabethv I bet they are.
However, I wonder how much cash its really worth to put into it. I suspect Apple is working on something similar, and they might just blow everyone else out of the water.
Sky Italia Challenges
As I read threw this article it really got me thinkg. It seemed to me that OTT would be greater and so much better and saying it will make things easier. I seriously think the biggest and badest challenge they will face is to prove to everyone that this would be the best move for everyone. Everyone and that is including me are watching digital shows/movies. I bet Netflix is working on AL right now.
Re: UHD
@elizabethv:
You are right that Netflix is into AI effort already. I did mnetion an URL that gives more details in my other response. Please check that out, if you are interested.
Re: Traditional TV
@elizabethv:
Absolutely. Smartphone TV wtaching is more on the go or if that is the only option at the moment. If there is a choice, i am sure folks would lean towards TVs for bigger picture. I also would think younger generation is no exception in this case. That doesn't mean younger folks will trade off phones for TVs.
Re: UHD
@dcawrey:
Good question about Netflix's OTT. They are into AI, a bit further in the game, which is not just limited to coming up with suggestions about what to watch. Netflix also developed something called 'Dynamic Optimizer' that decides extent of compression based on the complexity of video content.

Re: Traditional TV
@ms. akkineni Yes, viewing on mobile devices is convenient for people on-the-go, mostly the younger crowed. Traditional TVs generally have larger screens, which make them better for watching content. I don't think it should matter much what the viewing device is.

Re: UHD
@dcawrey - I would put down money that Netflix is working on AI for customer service. They have the money, the means and the popularity to be able to try something new, and if by chance it fails, still withstand the blow. Though I'm not sure that it would fail. Not to say it would guaranteed by popular, but I'd imagine they'd approach it in a way that it would be successful.

Re: Traditional TV
@ms.akkineni - I agree, I don't see most people changing their viewing habits that drastically that the teleivison will see even a noticeable change in popularity. I may watch a fair number of shows on my phone, but my kids mostly watch the things they like on our television. As the future generation, I can't imagine that being a habit that gets lost any time soon.

Re: UHD
I sure would like to see an OTT service that uses AI to help me find things to watch. That could be worth a lot of money.
Anyone think Netflix might be working on something like that?
