TiVo Announces Expanded Availability of Smart TVs Powered by TiVo Across Its OEM Partners
Smart TVs Powered by TiVo are now available across 15 European countries
TiVo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of entertainment technology company Xperi Inc. (NYSE:XPER), announced today its continued expansion of smart TVs Powered by TiVo across its OEM partners, spanning 17 brands including Bush, Daewoo, Digihome, Panasonic, Sharp, Telefunken, and Vestel. During IFA 2024, TiVo will showcase its award-winning OS platform across six of its already available OEM partners, highlighting the power and difference a content-first and user-centric platform can make.
Earlier this year, the TiVo team was in London to officially launch the availability of the first smart TVs Powered by TiVo. Since then, additional OEMs have announced the official availability of smart TVs Powered by TiVo, hitting the shelves across 15 European countries. TiVo OS production volumes are increasing with daily activations accelerating, setting the stage for future monetization on a target of two million active devices by the end of 2024.
"TiVo has always been at the forefront of innovation, and the recently-launched smart TVs are no exception," said Jon Kirchner, CEO of Xperi. "We pride ourselves on understanding the end-user better than others and are leveraging those insights to help partners provide a more user-centric TV model. We're excited to bring enhanced TV experiences to consumers around the world."
TiVo has partnered with leading OEMs to introduce its smart TVs Powered by TiVo. This range of TVs encompasses various sizes, from compact 24-inch models to expansive 75-inch displays, catering to diverse consumer needs and price points. These new TVs feature advanced technology, including 4K Ultra HD resolution, HDR support, and high-quality audio systems, designed to deliver an exceptional viewing experience across all models.

As more TVs hit the shelves and become active, participating OEMs and content partners are also provided with an opportunity to better target and streamline advertising across the platform. TiVo One, the latest addition to Xperi's growing capabilities for its independent media platform, empowers advertisers to deliver more personalized ad experiences, ensuring that user audiences receive a personalized and streamlined experience, aligned with TiVo's promise of a content-first approach.
Standout features of TiVo OS
The TiVo OS platform is transforming the smart TV landscape with its intuitive and comprehensive approach to content management and discovery.

The platform supports a wide range of popular streaming services, providing consumers with access to a vast library of free and paid content.
One of the standout features of TiVo OS is its advanced search and recommendation capabilities.

This ensures that consumers are consistently presented with content that aligns with their tastes, making it effortless to discover and enjoy new entertainment.
TiVo OS also offers natural voice navigation to select smart TV models. Consumers can easily search for and access their desired content by issuing simple voice commands, reducing content churn and eliminating the need for complex remote-control interactions.
