TiVo Platform Technologies LLC (TiVo), the company that brings entertainment together and a wholly owned subsidiary of entertainment technology company Xperi Inc, said on Monday that TiVo Broadband, a solution specifically tailored for operators’ broadband-only customers, has added five new operators to its portfolio, making it totals of ten operators, in addition to expanding its channel lineup on TiVo+ and further solidifying the rollout of monetization efforts.
TiVo Broadband is powered by the TiVo IPTV Platform and is designed to alleviate the challenges TV fragmentation and content discovery typically cause end users. As an operator-branded solution, TiVo Broadband provides integrated access and advanced search, discovery, and recommendations to free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST), advertising-based video on demand (AVOD), over-the-top, and live TV, as well as content from a variety of subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) channels tailored to a broadband-only customer base.
Bill Routt, senior vice president, global sales at TiVo, commented, “TiVo Broadband aims to offer streaming technology solutions to operators, many of whom are exploring ways in which OTT video solutions can enhance their higher-level broadband services and subscriber experiences. A connected device powered by a robust entertainment platform provides broadband providers with the means to offer customers a rich variety of streaming services and personalized content offerings. We feel strongly that the substantial growth of TiVo Broadband throughout the first half of 2024 showcases its power to provide operators with a way to stay innovative and offer the best TV for their audiences.”
Geoff Shook, president of Buckeye Broadband, said, “In an age where the traditional video tier costs continue to skyrocket, which results in higher and higher customer bills, we determined we had to adapt and review alternative video consumption opportunities. With the continued meteoric growth in OTT utilization, it was obvious to our company that we needed our own alternative programming avenue; one we could attach to our broadband service specifically. TiVo+ fit that need. We can now offer our customers additional video programming as a value add just for being a valued, HSD customer. This is something our wireline competitors can’t do.”
TiVo said it is leveraging partnerships with content aggregators such as Plex, and the development not only increases viewership potential but also opens up new revenue-sharing opportunities.
