Global pay TV subscriber base to surpass 1.1 billion in 2020
Posted by dsellers | Apr 6, 2015 | MacTech Blog, Uncategorized |
According to ABI Research (www.abiresearch.com) the worldwide pay TV market grew at a steady rate of 4% in 2014 to reach 923.5 million subscribers.
"Despite the growth in subscriber base, weak currency exchange rates resulted in a slower increase of pay TV market service revenue. Worldwide the pay TV market generated US$257 billion in 2014 and is expected to surpass 1.1 billion subscribers in 2020 with a CAGR 2.7%," says Jake Saunders, vice president and practice director of Core Forecasting.
Cable and terrestrial TV markets had weaker growth rates in 2014 compared to satellite and IPTV platforms. However, high definition (HD) penetration is increasing across all pay TV platforms because of the increasing number of HD channels added by operators. In 2014, 44% of the worldwide pay TV subscriber base were HD subscribers, with the highest HD penetration in Western Europe and North America. HD penetration is expected to reach 60% of the total pay TV market in 2020.
Pay TV operators are now moving towards 4K or Ultra HD service. In November, U.S. satellite operator DirecTV launched its first 4K programming without any additional monthly charges to subscribers with its HD DVR, Genie and DirecTV 4K Ready television set, which is any of Samsung's Smart 4K TV models. Online video streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon also started to offer 4K content in late 2014. When content availability and 4K TV set adoption increase,
4K services are likely to become a differentiator for pay TV service providers.In the fourth quarter (4K) of 2014, U.S. cable operators lost roughly 100,000 subscribers while Comcast gained 7,000 subscribers. The country's largest satellite TV provider, DirecTV gained 149,000 subscribers in 4Q 2014 which is the highest net addition since 2012.
"As competition in the pay TV market increases, quality of content, innovations, and service pricing are among the important factors for pay TV operators to maintain customer base. ABI Research forecasts that the global pay TV market will generate US$313 billion service revenues by 2020," adds Khin Sandi Lynn, industry analyst.

Welcome to Saint Thomas The Apostle Byzantine Catholic Church
Welcome to Saint Thomas The Apostle Byzantine Catholic ChurchWelcome to Saint Thomas The Apostle Byzantine Catholic ChurchWelcome to Saint Thomas The Apostle Byzantine Catholic Church
An Introduction to St. Thomas the Apostle
St. Thomas the Apostle is a Catholic Church of the Eparchy of Passaic. It is a Byzantine Church in communion with the Pope of Rome. As a Church we believe in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Through this faith we are called into a living relationship with our one true God revealed in Jesus Christ and confirmed by the power of the Holy Spirit. By this living faith and experience of worship, we are joined together as a people of God. In worship we proclaim what God has done and is doing now in our lives. For this gift of salvation in Jesus Christ we continually praise Him.
The patron of our church is St. Thomas the Apostle. Thomas was one of the twelve chosen by Jesus to be an Apostle. In the Scriptures Thomas is the doubting and questioning disciple; yet he makes the greatest profession of faith in the Risen Christ: "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:28) As an Apostle Thomas traveled the farthest distance in proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Catholics of southern India proclaim him as the Apostle who brought Christianity to them.
As a Church, we witness to the power of God operative in our lives and seek to live this life to the fullest in our personal faithfulness, family relationships, and community service. Our Church seeks to have an active, living, conscious faith that is expressed in worship and nurtured through catechetical ministry. We have a complete program of religious education for people of all ages.
Congregational singing led by a cantor enhances all our worship services. Music ministry is an important part of the life of our Church.
Our parish societies (Altar-Rosary, The Men of Saint Thomas, Byzantine Catholic Youth, Parish family and several committees) round out the active social life of our parish. There are events for all members of the family.
Additional funding is provided to our parish through a weekly bingo. A yearly Slavonic Festival was initiated in 1987.
All parishoners are asked to take an active part in the activities of the Church. Worship and prayer are essential to Christian life and community. Each member is asked to contribute to the Church a portion of his or her income to support the life and growth of our community. We request everyone to give twenty hours of service during the year and especially to help at our annual festival.
St. Thomas celebrates liturgy according to the Byzantine Church.. Her theological tradition and her laws are those of the Byzantine Church which originated in the city of Constantinople, capital city of the Roman Empire from 325 to 1453. Byzantine civilization was one of the most glorious and durable in human history and the fathers of the Church were able to grow in an understanding of our Lord and His Gospel that was then passed on to many peoples of Eastern Europe (including Russians, Ukranians, Croatians, Hungarians, Slovakians and Romanians). When people from these ethnic groups migrated to the United States they brought this treasure of faith with them. Our Church membership is open to people of all ethnic backgrounds and races. It is the heir to a faith in God, one in the Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - that is essential to our journey to God. It is both traditional and modern and emphasizes that through our union with Christ we become God-like and his beloved children. We believe that God is with us and that in Holy Communion we receive the Body and Blood of Christ, the Son of God, by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that we can sing: "We have received the heavenly Spirit."
The Church's structure follows the traditions of the Byzantine Church. The icons (or images) of Christ and the saints show us that they are present with us when we celebrate the liturgy. The icon of Christ in particular is a sign of our faith in Jesus, the Word of God, equal to the Father Who became a man for our salvation and revealed to us the love of the father. We venerate His icon for as human he can be depicted and He is in truth "the reflection of the Father's glory and the exact representation of the Father's being." (Hebrews 1:3) These icons are placed on the screen (called the icon screen) between the altar and the nave. The central doors of the icon screen are opened for the celebration of the Divine Liturgy.
Our Church is faithful to Jesus' command to bring His Gospel to all peoples. (Matthew 28:16-20) We invite you to share our faith in Jesus Christ, to experience our worship, and to live a life dedicated to the service of God and one another in Jesus' name. All who seek to know and love God are welcome in our Church. Byzantine Catholics who are transferring into the area are most welcome and can join by application to the pastor. We do not proselytize members of other churches but will welcome those who wish to join our Church for reasons recognized by Church law - particularly spiritual welfare.
Those who have been baptized in a Church that is not Catholic can join by taking a series of instructions, by making a profession of faith and by receiving the Sacrament of Chrismation if it has not previously been received. We especially welcome back those who have been members of the Catholic Church and wish to renew their faith as well as those who have never been a member of a Church but now wish to seek God through faith. Those who have not been baptized can join the Church by a series of instructions called the Catechumenate and by baptism in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit

Tired of buying replacement ink cartridges for your printer? Epson has a new line of inkjet printers that doesn't use cartridges. Instead, Epson EcoTank printers have refillable tanks, so instead of buying replacement cartridges, you buy bottles of ink to fill up the tank.
How is that better? Because bottles will sell for $13 each and last for up to 2 years.
That means if you need to refill all four colors (black, cyan, yellow, and magenta), you'll end up spending $52 every two years.
That's a lot less money than you'd probably spend on ink cartridges for most printers during the same time period.
Wondering why Epson is trying to save you money? Don't printer companies practically give away their hardware and make their money on ink?
Historically, yes. This time Epson is flipping things around: the ink is cheap, but the printer's are not.
The cheapest model in the EcoTank family sells for $380. That means you could save a lot of money over the life span of your printer, but you'll have to pay a pretty penny up front.
An entry-level model has a tank that can store enough ink to let you print up to 4,000 black pages or up to 6,500 color pages. Higher-priced models have additional capabilities including LCD screens, larger tanks and other features.
All of the EcoTank printers include wireless connectivity and flatbed scanners, and some also have document feeders and fax capabilities.
Great idea. But I hope they fixed the printing head, that was the most frequent failing on many of their printers.
My epson 810 eats up ink like crazy… I've just been buying generic, it was $25 for 2 sets of cyan, magenta, yellow, photo black and regular black.
Didn't they have this already? My grandpa has an epson continuous ink printer.
I'm thinking of getting a laser printer, isn't toner cheaper than ink?
i find myself worrying that infrequent usage will result in the ink drying up in the tanks.
I use my printer infrequently, and the tanks are still not dry after 5 years.
I'd be more worried about the heads with infrequent use. I wonder what it costs if you do have to replace one of those?
Well it is getting a little ridiculous when it's more cost effective to buy a new printer than it is to buy new toner/ink cartridges.
Brother is notorious for that. They sell laser printers in $79 (on sale) to $110 range. Need to replace the drum? That will be $140. It's wasteful, but more cost effective to throw out the whole printer and buy a new one when the drum needs replacing. And yes, there are generic drums, but I've never found one of decent quality.
i prefer replaceable ink cartridges with built in print heads, my last epson printer died cause the print head melted, the repair shop couldn't do anything.

Q: How would you execute this timestamp code? This code is taken from http://itfeast.blogspot.in/2013/08/php-convert-timestamp-into-facebook.html
How would you actually show this on a page? Say I have a mysql table with date column(timestamp) and I would like to insert the results of this code in there and as well as show it on page, how would you do it correctly?

Apparently i was under the impression that I needed to insert the above code into the db.  That is not the case. Basically insert your query into db as you normally do. For eg.
Insert data
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO posts (title, date) values ($title, $date)");

Get the data from db.
$get  =   $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM posts");
$get->execute();
$results = $get->fetch();
if (count($results) > 0) {
    foreach ($results as $row) {

         echo $row['title'] . '
';
         echo $row['date'] . '
';
    }
} else {
    echo "
Nothing matched your query.
";
}

This is where you use the facebook time function.
echo facebook_date_format($row['date']);
That's basically it. It does work 100%. Hope it helps.
And I should mention someone else helped me with this code. I would like to thank that person and give him credit for it.
