From mid-November to mid-December 2010, YouView ran an 'Expressions of interest' (EOI) process, inviting end-to-end content enablers to let us know if they were interested in participating in small technical development groups.
From the responses, we identified an end-to-end content enabler core advisory group as well as a wider advisory group,. These groups have since been advising YouView on the development of the technical processes which will enable content to be made available via the platform.
Here are some details about the organisations involved in the end-to-end content enabler core advisory group:
