The entertainment, video and multimedia market is undergoing sweeping changes. It is currently characterised by an expanding product offerings, which nevertheless remains highly heterogeneous due to the fact that it covers devices from fields that were previously separate. At the heart of a digital home is the technical concept known as the Media Centre. It combines the DVR, home networking, CD and DVD playback and MP3. Cable TV operators, telcos, consumer electronics and IT companies are all vying for the Media Centre business for the Digital Home. Progress in this market will continue to evolve with more mass market developments expected from 2008 onwards.
