TOKYO -- (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.”
