Motive's TabletTV UK app combined with a mains-powered tuner (for use in the home), or
a battery-powered portable tuner (for use on the go) is the first and only of its kind to
deliver a full Freeview viewing experience on tablets in the United Kingdom.



The TabletTV UK app allows the viewer to benefit from the Freeview "red button"
interactive capabilities plus from additional state-of-the-art Motive features to watch
and record all Freeview channels.



To give support to the "red button" services, Motive has chosen to integrate iWedia's
MHEG-5 engine within the TabletTV UK app.



"Supporting the 'red button' services is a key advantage of our TabletTV UK product,"
commented Leonard M Fertig, CEO at Motive. "In order to efficiently achieve that goal, it
was essential for us to leverage a third party's MHEG-5 software and expertise; iWedia has
been the ideal partner with that respect."



"We are delighted to have provided our MHEG-5 products and services to Motive," said
Herve Creff, VP Marketing at iWedia. "And we are excited to have been part of their
innovative TabletTV UK project."
