Business Wire
TiVo Corporation (NASDAQ: TIVO), a global leader in
entertainment technology and audience insights, today announced
that KDDI Corporation, a leading Japanese telecommunications
provider, has selected TiVo’s remote recording service for G-Guide®
and will also implement new voice control features to deliver one
of the most advanced entertainment discovery experiences in
Japan.
KDDI has deployed TiVo’s latest G-Guide HTML on its Cable Plus
Set-Top Boxes (STB) to provide customers with the ability to find
and discover programming. This capability is an enhancement to
KDDI’s existing deployment of the G-Guide HTML for IPTV STBs last
year, enabling KDDI to deliver an expanded range of solutions to
cable TV service providers.
KDDI has also adopted TiVo’s remote recording service and mobile
application, G-Guide xD, allowing subscribers to record programs at
any time right from their smart phones, enabling greater
convenience and accessibility to the latest entertainment. This
feature is available to service providers for the first time in
Japan.
With the new voice control features, subscribers can find
content quickly and change between channels by giving verbal
commands to the cable STB remote control, thus connecting to their
favorite entertainment with ease. This is the first deployment of
the voice control feature for G-Guide HTML in Japan.
“We are very pleased to be working with KDDI to introduce these
advanced functions to the Japanese market,” said Michael Hawkey,
senior vice president and general manager, User Experience, TiVo.
“Japanese consumers are often ahead of the curve when it comes to
technology adoption so this latest development is a testament to
KDDI’s dedication to providing its customers with new functionality
to enhance their entertainment experience.”
