In This Article:

SAN JOSE, Calif., January 06, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At CES 2025, Xperi Inc. (NYSE: XPER) announces two key milestones for its independent media platform:

  • Smart TVs Powered by TiVo™ will be making their debut in the U.S. with Sharp Home Electronics Company of America

  • 20 cable operators have selected TiVo Broadband Solutions to power their customers TV experience with a broad set of entertainment choices

Additionally, as TiVo expands its footprint and viewership across smart TVs, cable operator services and connected cars, brands and advertisers can now engage with viewers through the TiVo One platform and the newly released Home Page Hero Ad display unit. These milestones demonstrate how Xperi and TiVo are increasing the way people find, watch and enjoy their favorite content across any screen.

"Consumers have a hard time finding the content they want to watch amid a sea of apps. Our proven search and discovery engines create an individually curated experience, delivering a content-first approach, rather than an app-centric approach, so that consumers can access their content across streaming services and live TV through one personalized interface," said Jon Kirchner, CEO of Xperi. "And now with TiVo One, we will be able to offer premium, highly relevant advertising to the right audience, within the relevant content, on the ideal device, and at the best moment."

It is no secret that consumers are plagued by content overload and choice, which has caused them to shift their entertainment habits. According to the latest North America Q2 2024 TiVo Video Trends Report, 70% of respondents find content services recommendations irrelevant, and 48% find it annoying to browse multiple apps before settling on something to watch. One of the standout features of the independent media platform is its advanced search and recommendation capabilities, powered by sophisticated algorithms that learn from viewing habits and provide personalized suggestions tailored to each user’s preferences. Consumers are presented with content that aligns more with their interests, reducing their effort to discover and enjoy new entertainment.

Content discovery hinges on having an expansive, diverse library that caters to every viewer’s individual preferences. Xperi’s independent media platform addresses this challenge by seamlessly aggregating a wide breadth of content across free and paid — from niche streaming services to mainstream linear channels and live sports — creating a comprehensive platform where consumers can explore, discover and access their ideal entertainment from a single, centralized user interface. TiVo has significantly expanded its content network over the past year, ensuring that whether consumers are at home or in the car, they are able to access the content they wish to enjoy seamlessly.
