Next-Gen Experience Expands Television Content Discovery; Offers
Viewers Quicker Time to Content; Personal, Customizable Viewing
Experience; and Introduces Predictions
AMSTERDAM & SAN CARLOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
TiVo (NASDAQ:
TIVO), the global leader in entertainment technology and audience
insights, announced today a new generation of user experience (UX)
design that is uniquely TiVo. Built for today’s modern TVs and mobile
screens, TiVo’s new user interface is centered around bringing the
user’s content from an increasingly diverse array of sources to them
quicker and easier than ever, predicting what users might be interested
in viewing, and presenting a choice of shows based on such things as
time of day, past viewing choices, and the device they are using. The
visually rich UX builds on TiVo’s world-class usability, ensuring the
viewer is always close to what they are looking for across content
sources, and provides customizable shortcuts for functions on the main
menu to give users faster access to their entertainment – not just
traditional TV and movies, but also music and short-form videos. This
seamless experience of content consumption from many sources redefines
“traditional TV” and allows every device to become a primary screen for
video consumption.
“Content is paramount to today’s TV viewer, but finding what you want to
watch has become increasingly difficult with the growing number of video
providers. This was the impetus for the design of the new TiVo UX,” said
Margret Schmidt, Chief Design Officer at TiVo. “We are transforming TV
viewing into an easy, personalized experience. The new UX brings the
content the viewer wants right up front faster through expanded
discovery and predictions from their own cable subscription and the best
online video sources. In short, we designed this UX so the viewer spends
less time searching channel guides and opening apps and more time
enjoying their favorite shows.”
Features of the new TiVo UX:
-
Visually rich, appealing interface – With a superior new and
modern visual display, the new UX puts content front and center, so
that users can easily identify what they want to watch.
-
Predictions – Beyond traditional recommendations, TiVo’s
innovative new Prediction technology takes a user’s actual viewing
habits and predicts the shows they most likely want to watch at that
moment.
-
Fast access to content – The new experience makes accessing
content faster than ever. From Predictions to Recent Activity to What
to Watch, TiVo minimizes clicks to content.
-
Content from multiple sources –TiVo’s UX was designed to
accommodate multiple content sources, delivering users abundant
entertainment choices from linear, on demand, and streaming apps.
-
Personalization features – The entire experience is
personalized, from recommendations to predictions, TiVo uses past
viewing behavior to direct the user to the content they are most
likely to enjoy.
-
Customizable shortcuts – Users now have more control over their
viewing experience with customizable shortcuts on the Home screen and
the ability to favorite the apps they most frequently visit, giving
them quick access to their content across platforms and providers.
TiVo will showcase its entertainment technology and audience insights
solutions during IBC this week in Hall 14, Stand G01 and Hall 5, Stand
A31.
