TiVo Corporation (NASDAQ: TIVO), a global leader in
entertainment technology and audience insights, today announced
that RCN, a leading cable operator, has selected TiVo’s Next-Gen
Platform to bring advanced innovation to its customers. RCN
will be the first operator to deploy the Next-Gen Platform and will
roll out its new TiVo-powered video solution to its high-speed
internet, digital TV and home phone customers. RCN also plans
to expand the TiVo offerings across its properties, including
Grande Communications Networks and WaveDivision Holdings. RCN was
the first operator to deploy TiVo in the Pay-TV space.
“After reviewing a number of solutions on the market, we were
impressed with TiVo’s Next-Gen Platform and their commitment to
helping us bring forth a compelling user experience, personalized
recommendations, advanced voice functionality and multi-platform
support to our customers,” said Patrick Murphy, CTO, RCN, Grande
and Wave. “Additionally, TiVo’s IPTV products provide advanced
video solutions for our broadband-only subscribers and enhance the
RCN viewing experience across mobile platforms.”
Under the agreement, RCN will power its next-generation solution
with TiVo’s IPTV suite of products, including TiVo Solutions for
Android TV, TiVo for Streamers and TiVo for Mobile. This will
enable the delivery of IPVOD, IP Linear, Restart, Catch-Up and
Network DVR content to RCN subscribers on managed STBs powered by
Android TV and unmanaged consumer-owned devices, such as Amazon
Fire, Apple TV, as well as iOS and Android mobile devices.
Subscribers can enjoy the ultimate entertainment experience with
hyper-personalization, advanced search and recommendations,
conversational voice control and universal discovery across content
platforms. This will enable RCN to reduce churn, drive customer
engagement, as well as capture new market segments and monetization
opportunities with differentiated business models and revenue
streams.
“We are excited to continue working with RCN and providing their
customers with a feature-rich and highly personalized user
experience that they can take with them across their favorite
devices,” said Jeffrey Glahn, vice president of sales, TiVo.

scalability and next-gen IPTV services that will enable RCN to
demonstrate market leadership in an ever-evolving entertainment
landscape.”
