TOPFIELD marketing manager Robert Bonanno says, “While much has been made about the lounge room revolution with the entry of some new players in the market, the truth is that consumers still want quality products, useful features, and critically, they are demanding competitive pricing with no-strings-attached.

“The GFC has made people wary about being locked-in to contracts, paying for additional features they don’t use and looking for hidden costs.”

Most of the new IPTV solutions are being rolled out by ISPs and large multi-national electronics manufacturers. A key strategy for these companies is to generate revenue through content deals and advertising because the medium is more measurable unlike traditional TV advertising.

“At TOPFIELD we have focussed on delivering entertainment solutions that are easy-to-use, agnostic and full of features people actually want. We are also committed to competitive pricing and providing an ongoing relationship with our customers after their purchase. That is why we remain the market leader and clear choice for the savvy consumer looking to avoid ongoing costs,” says Robert.

TOPFIELD has released numerous products over the past 12 months and has continued to deliver best-of-breed features. Most recently, it updated its software across the range with QUAD recording, allowing consumers to record 4 Services simultaneously while playing a pre-recorded show.
