This will include some research into the benefits of Sky+ and Cable TV.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;By describing in detail the benefits of Sky +, I manage to achieve a greater understanding of how a Personal Video Recorder (PVR) can record and store up to 20 hours of film, schedule films using Video-on-Demand technology and also view channels whilst recording a movie simultaneously.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;See link for more info: &lt;a href="http://www.silvertv.co.uk/aerial/sky+.htm"&gt;Benefits of Sky Plus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;By researching into the benefits of Homechoice, I came up with information about Broadband TV and Video Encryption.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;See link for more info: &lt;a href="http://www.videonetworks.com/pr_2004_01_21.htm"&gt;Benefits of Homechoice&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I did more research into the benefits of Telewest and NTL, discussing the merge between both providers enhancing software capabilities to Broadband TV, Broadband services to customers and improving costs.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;See link for more info:&lt;br&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;My researched topic would be based on Movies-on-Demand.  The term “Movies-on-Demand” means that users can interact with TV programs instantly without having to watch the same program again by doing the following: rewind, fast-forward, play and stop TV at any given point.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;By gathering information on the web about my chosen topic, I am able to demonstrate a good of understanding Movies-on-Demand, explaining the technologies associated with VOD offered by Homechoice, Sky Plus and NTL which are some of the service providers that support this kind of service. An explanation on the concept and requirements on how it works also the benefits between both technologies (Sky + and Homechoice).&lt;/p&gt;
