Television has been a major success for entertainment and gaming. TV has over 80 years of history since the original BBC broadcasts of 1929. It was thought that TV technology was almost mature with analog color TV and broadcasting by air. However, after introducing digital technology with high-speed IP-based networking, additional "freedom" to view content has been introduced. Users will experience this freedom through multiple devices and sources of content, and we expect that this will lead to drastically different behaviours when deciding what to watch. TV receiver equipment has also made great advances through the introduction of 3D imaging displays. However, it seems that this technology is still below acceptable levels for customers, because the gap between current TVs and customer demand is too large. More "freedom" is necessary to be introduced in display technology to meet users' expectations. The aim of this Evening Session is to discuss the technologies that are necessary to allow customers to enjoy future TV content from the viewpoints of service, platform, and device. Four speakers give talks from one of these viewpoints and discuss how high-performance and low-power digital technology will play an important role in the evolution of the TV.
