Motive said it expected the Tablet TV product to be commercialised for the Advanced Television Systems Committe standard in the US and launched in the first Granite Television market early in 2013. The service will roll out across the US following the completion of the prototype development phase. Users of iPads, Android tablets, and other portable devices will be able watch and record television programs directly from broadcast TV in any location.

Tablet TV has demonstrated that it works well in multiple configurations and we look forward to launching in a Granite market."
