I’m surrounded by screens here at the Olympia exhibition hall — tablet-sized, big screens, you name it — and they all connect with each other. It’s day three at the IP&TV World Forum. The lowly remote control can soon be buried under the sofa cushions for good, judging by the offerings from set-top box manufacturers here. I don’t mean that the remote is simply being replaced by what’s called the “second screen” — often an iPad or phone. These makers are offering OTT and other television delivery products complete with multiple tablet-like devices for remote control.
