The future of television is changing before our eyes, as media giants scramble to stake their claims in the wilderness of Internet video. The channels are following the viewers, who are increasingly watching videos online. Many news channels in India are going online to give the viewers online streaming of news. But still there are so many viewers prefering big TV screen over computer moniters. So what you think, is the future of TV on the Web? Please share your opinion guys...

I think that the future of the TV is on the web, as many viewers are going online to search and view videos. The sites like You Tube is attracting more and more people to it every day. Even so many TV networks are adding more content online which will show increase in the number of viewers.

I would prefer saying that Future of web is on TV and not otherwise. If we analyse TV viewing can be divided in two categories Infotainment (News and Educational channels) and Entertainment (Daily sops). While information hunt definitely earns 1 point up on internet still having a dedicated channel which you can watch while going through your regular activities makes it easier to consume which web cant support. For Entertainment we would still find some content on the web but are there any aggregators to bring together all the channels a viewer wants to watch. Besides the content delivery is also subjected to the security and distortion (broken video because of bandwidth issues). Also I like to watch entertainment programs with family while web is a pure personal consumption medium.  On the other hand the Technologies like IPTV bring together the required options of  TV and internet. Thus the future in my opinion belongs to TV.

There is future of  tv on web , cable tv and DD transmissions are analog ,  now  DTH  and cable are digital transmission , but still they don't have interactivity  , they can't exchange information in both direction ,  next step is Internet Protocol TV ,  transmission of  TV data over internet media  will require  infrastructure for bandwidth etc , but it is sure to happen .

Lets first understand the premise that the TV is a media to view content whereas the web is a content provider. Now the question is whether TV is the ultimate media to access the web. The answer in my opinion in 'no'. The future clearly belongs to the mobile. Few major reasons why I feel this way are as follows:

1. TV is impersonal, mobile is not. I may want to watch soccer, dad would prefer news, mom wants soaps, brother wants MTV all at the same time. I wouldn't want to get into all that with the idiot box. 

2. TV has limited access to content, mobile doesn't. The i-phones of the future would allow you to access any multimedia content. And with the ever increasing speeds, streaming video is no big deal

3. TV is already on the web (Youtube), web on TV still has a long way to go.

YES, I do think that the future of TV in internet. As more and more people are glued in to their LCD's even after they go to their home, they would obviously find watching a bit of news/sensational movies in their PC's is good option instead of swithching on the TV. Watching online was quite a advantage such as user can select what they need to watch and not wait in TV still their favourite part comes in. Also there is no interupption of advertisement when watching in web. Things sometimes spread very fast in internet, whether its a virus or hot news. Hence as more and more people switch on their broadbands into their PC's ,future of TV seems to be bright over web. However it is quite restricted to the set of people who use internet in daily basis.

Yes future of TV will be on web. As we see everything in our life is turning towards web whether it's banking/social network/storage of information etc., so how can TV leave behind. But I think watching TV on web are going to possible only when speed and penetration of internet will expand. At present very few people prefer watching video's/tv on internet due to low speed and poor quality of connection.

I think this kind of debate already happened when TV was introduced and was in its peak.  

The same question was asked that is the future of newspaper and radio on TV? All were thinking that Newspaper and Radio will disappear because now they can watch news and songs on TV. However, reality is that both the categories are still alive. As per one report, The Indian government has already given 338 licenses for FM radio channels. And as per RNI, The total number of registered newspapers, as on 31st March, 2008: 69323. 

All these mediums are unique. They all have their own unique characteristics. I think TV and Internet both have their own unique characteristics, which cannot be replaced by each other. Just like Newspaper and Radio, TV will remain as a unique medium.

Todays Television is categorized and has a pie for everyone , it is a method of relaxation for some

by rlaxation one means pampering yourself , releiving stress , and treating one self

and the medium is aided by stretching blah blah, and more over the new 3D TV technology also drives it it more away from web

Net is source where one is in a different state of mind , prepelexed and anctious for information , alert and body language is colates to same , though you may like to find some entertainment in the form of downloads but the state of mind still makes you watch on a bigger screen which one find fulfilling

More than the future of Web on Tv , or Tv on web , it is the ease of connectivity and services provision which would amalgamate.

With improving bandwidths and merging of diverse creative , connectivity and media possibilities , organisations like Sony , microsoft , google etc. could take possibilities to a combination of probabilities on the same device.

In my opinion new devices will appear, combining input technologies like "touch screens", voice and character recognition, combining many communication ways (cable and wireless), many services (audio, video and data), many sizes (from palm to gian screens). What is sure is that we are at the beginning of the digital society, and this is not going to be stopped.

TV and Web World are important in their own respective places. Websites depends upon the speed it has internet speed which does not always remain uniform. This will create problems while watching videos and TV cant always keep us in contact with friends whatever internet can do. So, they can never take the importance of each other.....

The future of Web is on the TV now. ICICI Bank in association with Dish TV has introduced Television banking, for the first time in India. One can learn about the services by simply switching on TV. This is an start and we can see more revolution like this on our own television set.

I think that future of TV in India will take more time to move on to the web. The penetration of internet in our country is very low and even we don't have the infrastructures to provide high speed internet. Many people prefer TVs shows on big screen rather than searching them online and waiting for streaming.
