[Satellite TODAY 05-25-10] Technicolor is partnering with TiVo to develop an advanced, TiVo-ready, high definition PVR set-top box for operators who license TiVo software, the two companies announced May 23.
    Technicolor will port TiVo software to its latest DSI803 PVR hardware platform, giving operators the benefit of provisioning PVRs that are optimized for TiVo’s software.
    “As the convergence of linear television and broadband continues to take hold, operators need to deploy advanced television solutions that are cost efficient and ready for rapid deployment. As one of the leading set-top box provider in the world, operators were increasingly looking to Technicolor to help address this need. To manage this, we selected TiVo’s truly comprehensive solution for marrying TV and Internet content within a single, user-friendly and intuitive interface,” Frederic Kurkjian, senior vice president of Technicolor’s satellite and cable set-top box business, said in a statement.
