TiVo Corporation (NASDAQ: TIVO), a global leader in entertainment technology and audience insights, today
announced that it will be presenting a peer-reviewed technical paper at the IBC conference in Amsterdam, 13 – 17 September
2018.
- Session title: Tech Talks: I want it my way – beyond a veneer of personalisation

- Where/when: Room E102, IBC 2018, RAI Amsterdam, Saturday 15th September 2018 at 14:15 CEST
As consumers become increasingly inundated with content, the choice can be overwhelming. A deeper understanding of metadata is
vital in order to solve the issue, and the session at IBC will demonstrate how machine-learning can be effectively used to ensure
content is meaningfully discovered through minimal effort.
“Too much choice is leaving today’s viewers feeling lost and is resulting in them switching away prematurely,” said Samuel
Sweet, senior vice president, EMEA sales at TiVo. “This is an ongoing struggle for content providers, and TiVo is dedicated to
finding new ways that enable them to create personalized video discovery experiences that improves customer satisfaction and
increases loyalty.”
TiVo will be exhibiting its full suite of products on stand A31 in Hall 5 at IBC, where visitors can see demonstrations of
TiVo’s range of operator solutions in the technology areas of User Experience, Metadata and Personalized Content Discovery.
This will include TiVo’s Next-Gen Platform, recently selected by TDS Telecommunications, the seventh largest local exchange
telephone company in the U.S., and the latest TiVo Experience 4 which is being deployed by leading operators RCN Telecom Services,
Atlantic Broadband and Service Electric.
The TiVo Next-Gen Platform combines all the elements of TiVo’s advanced content discovery services to enable operators to drive
customer loyalty by bringing cutting-edge features and IPTV services to managed set-top-boxes (i.e., Linux and Android TV),
unmanaged bring-your-own devices (i.e., Apple TV and Amazon Fire), mobile and web.
Also on show will be TiVo’s Cubi Solutions, Personalised Content Discovery – including the latest developments in TiVo
Conversation – and TiVo’s Entertainment Metadata.
Taking place during the event is the annual CSI Awards, which celebrates excellence and achievement in the broadcast, video, OTT
and IoT sectors. TiVo is shortlisted in the category of ‘Best interactive TV technology or application’ for its Conversation
Services, which simplifies the entertainment experience with free-flowing conversational search. The award winners will be
announced during IBC, on Friday 14th September.
