the fully-integrated Personalized Content Discovery Platform, Com Hem is
making it easy for subscribers to connect with their entertainment by
simply searching “what’s on TV” and receiving tailored search results.
“We are pleased to expand our long-term relationship with Com Hem to
further provide their customers with a personalized, feature-rich
entertainment experience they can enjoy across all their devices,” said
Walt Horstman, senior vice president and general manager, Advanced Media

Discovery Platform, Com Hem is augmenting its service offerings while

TiVo’s Personalized Content Discovery Platform consists of personalized
search and recommendations and analytics capabilities. The platform’s
search capability spans across available content catalogs, including
linear TV, video-on-demand (VOD) or over-the-top (OTT) programming. As a
result, the platform is capable of recognizing users’ subscriptions and
can return only what is available to a specific user within that user’s
programming packages.
The platform’s fully integrated backend business console provides
operators with the ability to manage and tune search results, easily
improving the user experience and generating more engagement from viewer
searches. Operators can use rules to drive internal business objectives,
such as boosting more VOD titles in searches to promote broader category
awareness. Operators may also benefit from a decreased cost in ownership
since they can quickly make real-time changes minimising extra support
from engineering teams.
Additionally, TiVo Insight allows Com Hem to optimize content discovery,
target promotions and monitor audience engagement through the analysis
of actual viewer behavior. Insight makes it easy to examine discovery
use cases and extract key performance indicators (KPIs) for ongoing
optimization. Essential to data-driven decision-making process, Insight
will help Com Hem maximize the value of the Personalized Content
Discovery Platform.
