Part 2: Prominence on television selection services Regulated television selection services Section 362AE Meaning of "television selection service"
This section defines "television selection service" (TSS) for this Part. Subsection (1) sets out the definition of a TSS in terms of what such a service consists of and enables a user to do. In summary, a TSS presents programme services or programmes provided by those services to a user, and allows them to select between those services and programmes and to access them. For example, a user can select between on-demand apps, or between programmes provided by those apps on a user interface on a smart TV.
	A TSS must be provided by means of the internet and in connection with "internet television equipment". Subsection (2) is the power for the Secretary of State to define "internet television equipment" in regulations. This power will be used to define the apparatus (including software) attached to those TSSs which may be in scope of the new prominence regime. Subsection (3) allows the Secretary of State to exclude certain devices from the definition where delivery of TV is not necessarily the core function of the device. The intention is to capture devices such as Smart TVs and set-top boxes, which are primarily used to access TSSs.
