According to the "People's Posts and Telecommunications News" report, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (hereinafter referred to as "SARFT") recently issued a notice and decided to expand the pilot range of TVOS smart TV operating systems among cable operators. This means that terminals such as OTT set-top boxes launched by cable operators in the future can only install and use TVOS 1.0, and no other operating systems can be installed.

It is understood that the TVOS TV operating system that was forcibly pushed is a smart TV operating system jointly developed by SARFT and some R&D units. TVOS1.0 was officially released in early June last year. Subsequently, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued an order requiring the cable TV OTT box to be equipped with a TVOS system. At that time, the first batch of pilots at Jiangsu Cable and Shanghai Oriental Cable had two cable TV operators, each undertaking 500,000 sets of pilot promotion tasks.

Now, the SARFT has expanded the scope of the pilot, requiring that all terminals such as smart TV set-top boxes that are purchased or integrated by cable TV network companies to be developed or installed must use TVOS 1.0, and they must follow the relevant technical specifications of NGB's next generation radio and television network. In addition, the TVOS 1.0 system has correspondingly increased the information security module and strengthened the user's information security protection. In addition, TVOS1.0 also takes into account the technology of existing operating systems, such as Linux, Android and so on.


There is no clear unity in the industry for which operating system smart TV is more suitable. Although 90% of smart TVs currently use Android, more and more TV manufacturers have begun to try other options. LG said it intends to install its acquired WebOS system on 70% of its television. Samsung has also made plans for the next step. Smart TV will use its own Tizen system. In the absence of complete stability in the television system market, SARFT's provision is also for the purpose of seizing the market. However, there is a terminal TV company that will fully control the application of TVs after TVOS 1.0 is fully marketed, which may affect the development speed of smart TV applications.
