TiVo Launches Enhanced Personalization and Wider Device Availability for Fan TV
Enables operators to quickly deploy next generation discovery
services across hybrid or all-IP video networks
PHILADELPHIA & SAN CARLOS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SCTE/ISBE Cable-Tec Expo — TiVo (NASDAQ: TIVO), a leader in
entertainment software and technology, today announced that Fan TV, the
next generation TV experience, will include new personalization and
discovery features across TV, tablet and mobile devices. Additionally,
Fan TV will now be available on Apple TV and Roku, making it easier than
ever for operators to expand their market reach.
The updated version of Fan TV will integrate personalized, contextual
recommendations into the experience, as well as introduce a smart grid
guide to enable users to rapidly find content within a familiar
grid-based format. Fan TV will learn from user activity to guide
discovery and provide intelligent and accurate recommendations to users
seamlessly across live, VOD and OTT networks. The new smart grid guide
delivers visual cues to alert users when programs on their WatchList
show up in the broadcast schedule.
Fan TV’s extension to Apple TV and Roku, in addition to Android TV and
Amazon Fire TV, allows operators to reach new consumer segments and
deliver innovative discovery experiences with skinny bundle service
offerings. Fan TV provides a fast time to market with its award-winning,
cross-screen user experience that is fully customizable to an operator’s
branding and selection of devices.
“TiVo strives to provide innovative discovery products and services for
customers, enabling improved experiences for subscribers,” said Michael
Hawkey, senior vice president and general manager of the user experience
business group at TiVo. “The updates to Fan TV will help subscribers
find relevant content rapidly, while offering operators much needed
flexibility across different networks and devices to mitigate trends
toward unbundling and cord shaving.”
Fan TV allows operators to deploy a next generation video service that
leverages existing video delivery networks, including QAM, satellite or
over the air, for linear video delivery. Additionally, Fan TV aggregates
IP-delivered OTT content and provides advanced discovery capabilities
for a feature-rich, universal discovery experience. Available as an
end-to-end software solution or as apps for mobile and streaming
devices, Fan TV delivers a simple and powerful navigation and
personalized entertainment experience across multiple screens and
services — all designed to strengthen and differentiate existing
provider offerings.
TiVo will showcase its comprehensive suite of solutions during the
Cable-Tec Expo in booth 903.
