Comcast plans to move TiVo software to Scientific Atlanta boxes, other platforms

摘要

TiVo says that Comcast has "agreed to fund significant additional development work to bring the TiVo service to other Comcast platforms, including Scientific Atlanta set-top boxes." This will further develop the TiVo-on-Comcast service, which the two companies have been delaying for quite some time now, and increase the distribution opportunities that TiVo will have available, the company says. Currently, about 25 percent of Comcast's footprint is based on the SA digital platform. TiVo, in its Q2 report, quotes Comcast as saying, "We will commence the TiVo rollout process shortly, which [we] will continue rolling out throughout the fall in Comcast's New England Division, including metro Boston, southeast Massachusetts and New Hampshire." The TiVo software will launch on Motorola STBs in Comcast's New England division.
