NookieTV Box Service to Cease

May 9th, 2010 by Radio&Telly in Internet TV

TextIt looks like the adult entertainment service NookieTV is set to end from Saturday 15th May 2010.

The Nookie TV service was supplied with a Nookie TV Box, which was a small Internet-enabled set-top box. Plug one end into the Internet, and the other end into the TV, and you could access, on subscription, adult content 24 hours a day.

It seems that subscribers are being told via the Nookie TV website, the following:

“Unfortunately, due to financial hardship, we are ceasing all operations and discontinuing NookieTV broadcast service as of May 15th 2010. We will not be asking our customers to return their IPTV equipment. Therefore no further action is required on your part. Thank you for your past business.”

Nookie TV offered a unique, albeit specialist, solution to a video-on-demand TV service. The set-top box supplied with the service contained a pink ‘Panic button’ that could be used in the event of an unplanned viewing interruption.

Customers of the service are not required to return the Nookie Box hardware, according to their website.

Canvas IPTV gets go ahead from BBC

December 27th, 2009 by Radio&Telly in Internet TV

Proposed Internet TV service codenamed Project Canvas has been given the provisional go-ahead by the BBC Trust.

If you’re not familiar with Project Canvas, this is a venture between the players BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Five, BT and TalkTalk, to offer TV and Internet content on your TV over Broadband. Essentially a combination of a Freeview-like TV service and the BBC iPlayer.

Project Canvas will be an open platform offering catch-up TV services, on-demand TV content, Internet services and HD programming over Broadband.

Canvas set-top boxes could be available as early as December 2010. Cost is likely to be £200 for a Canvas box, but this may be subsidised by Broadband providers, to make the costs accessible to potential users.
