Re: egBox - a prototype HTML5 based set top box

Hi Oliver,

Apologies for the delay of looking at this, but the below links don't
work (any more):
http://www.fi-content.eu/?page_id=8
http://193.174.152.29/nlv2/content/ficontent/mov/2_Content_Area_B_Full_1280x720.mp4

Where else can I see these?

Thanks!

Silvia.

The rest, the actual HTML5 bit, was fairly easy to work on and control. We've mostly used it to prototype user experience around TV authentication. There's a write-up about that on our blog: http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2013/03/authentication-for-connected-tvs
