The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

MTV Pinoy (formerly MTV Philippines) was a Philippine music and entertainment pay television network owned by Viacom International Media Networks Asia (a division of Viacom International Media Networks), with a partnership with Viva Entertainment to collaborate on local productions, events, marketing and advertising sales. The network was launched on February 1, 2014. It operated from 4 pm to 1 am, after that it would rebroadcast MTV Asia's programming. On December 1, 2014, MTV Pinoy launched new shows and it became a 24-hour channel. By that time, only live events and specials and a few of its programs were still simulcast from MTV Asia. However, on January 1, 2017, the channel was closed down and replaced by MTV Southeast Asia. This was possibly due to Viacom switching partnerships from Viva to rival company Solar Entertainment, as well as the intense competition from ABS-CBN's music network, Myx. OPM related programs from MTV Pinoy were transferred to Viva TV. Only MTV Pinoy Pop and some local advertising remained in the network until March 6, 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
