A revolution in the way we watch television
Promise.tv takes advantage of digital television technology to
automatically record a full seven day's broadcasting across all selected
TV channels. This wholesale recording means it is no longer necessary to
choose programmes to watch in advance. All programmes transmitted over the
last seven days are stored for viewing at any time.
This represents a quantum leap in technology over existing video recorders
or PVRs. Promise.tv is not a PVR. It doesn't need any setup, configuration
or pre-programming. It starts recording programmes as soon as it is
plugged in, building up to a full seven days of every selected channel.
After this time, the newest programmes automatically record over the
oldest ones, keeping seven days of programmes available at all times.
The promise.tv serendipity factor
Promise.tv wholesale recording introduces serendipity into time-shifted
televiewing. Previously, there was no possibility of the chancing across
programmes, as they had to be selected for recording ahead of
transmission. Promise.tv encourages programme skimming, where the viewer
can browse through all of the recorded programmes looking for something
which catches the eye. Promise.tv provides the 'lucky dip' approach to
seven days of viewing.
