Operators now can procure the TiVo® “peanut”
remote directly from Universal Electronics
Universal Electronics Inc. (UEI) (NASDAQ: UEIC) announced
today that it has signed an agreement with TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ:
TIVO) to expand a previous agreement covering European markets
to now include the supply of the iconic TiVo “peanut” remote to
designated TiVo service provider customers in the U.S. and
Canada.
The agreement authorizes Universal Electronics to supply remote
controls for designated TiVo-branded services throughout the U.S.
and Canadian markets, which currently include service providers
such as Mediacom, RCN, Suddenlink and others. This latest remote
platform includes ZigBee® RF4CE, which removes line-of-sight
requirements and thus is ideal for in-cabinet setups. TiVo is well
known for its focus on the user experience, through its continuing
development and enhancement of intuitive search and browse
capabilities in its solutions, while Universal Electronics has
successfully built a reputation for quality and exceptional
customer service in remote control design, manufacturing and
fulfillment.
“Universal Electronics has an excellent reputation in the
Americas for delivering a high-quality product with efficiency and
providing excellent customer service," said Thomas Elam, Vice
President and General Manager of the Service Provider Business at
TiVo. "This product development initiative with Universal
Electronics supports our commitment to delivering the best TiVo
experience and we look forward to leveraging this partnership.”
Paul Arling, Chairman and CEO of Universal Electronics, said:
“Everyone recognizes the TiVo ‘peanut’ remote as a brand known for
its quality and user experience leadership. UEI is proud to be able
to supply TiVo remotes to TiVo’s U.S. and Canadian service
providers.”
The first TiVo-based remote control products manufactured by
Universal Electronics are anticipated to begin shipping to U.S. and
Canadian customers in July 2015.
