to sum up
At present, watching movies and TV shows online is the most important function of OTT boxes. The amount of resources directly affects the purchase behavior of users. Today, resources must be acquired through the seven licensees. Overall, there are iQiYi resources for Galaxy Internet TV access, Lion TV resources for Huamen TV, and Hunan TV for Mango TV. You can additionally collaborate with other video sites to create a more content video platform.
On the hardware, the boxes in the first half of this year have almost all adopted four-core or even eight-core CPUs. The box with dual-core CPUs will obviously be at a disadvantage. After all, the fluency of the system is determined by the configuration of the hardware. In the fiery 4K call today, 4K video and H.265 decoding capabilities can be said to be another concern in addition to performance and video sources.
In the first half of 2015, in the process of rejuvenating TV boxes, we saw Tencent, one of the BAT giants, in addition to existing manufacturers. More capital entering the market will help us face more fierce competition while demonstrating good prospects in the industry. In the competition, we hope that the development of TV boxes will become better and better, satisfying more demands from users.
