Stoneroos developed a large number of functionalities for the STB. Packages offered by DELTA now include over 140 live TV channels, many of which have ‘replay TV’, allowing users to re-start live programmes and a full seven day ‘catch up’ TV service. Up to 250 hours of n-PVR storage is also provided, ensuring customers can record their favourite content. The service also offers the Stoneroos patented TV guide (also known as EPG, Electronic Program Guide).
