TiVo adds Opera software to Roamio
August 30, 2013
Opera Software and TiVo have announced a technology integration to enhance the power of web technologies on TiVo devices with the Opera Devices SDK, as well as open up the world of HTML5 TV apps through the Opera TV Store. This partnership will enable TiVo to bring the latest web and HTML5 content to cable operator customers and consumers, including business, entertainment, fashion, sports and gaming news, content and more, as well as provide developers with an SDK to create new apps for the TiVo platform for the App Store that TiVo is planning to launch later this year.
TiVo’s operator customers who are shipping TiVo devices based on the Roamio platform will be able to offer apps and content to their consumers through the Opera TV Store.
“Consumers want to watch what they want, when they want it and it’s important to offer an easy-to-use interface capturing all the content possible, whether it be from cable TV or the web,” said Jim Denney, VP of Product Marketing at TiVo. “We have selected Opera as a partner in this mission because it enables users in both the operator and retail segments a completely customised experience, along with a wide variety of local, national and global long-tail content and other applications from the Opera TV Store.”
