TiVo’s award-winning Smart TV Operating System
will raise TV entertainment standards for U.S. consumers.
TiVo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of entertainment technology
company Xperi Inc. (NYSE: XPER), announced today that it will be
entering the U.S. television market with Sharp Home Electronics
Company of America, marking a key milestone of the continued
expansion of smart TVs Powered by TiVo™.
Already available in Europe, TiVo OS™ has 8 partners, such as
Sharp Europe, to introduce its smart TVs Powered by TiVo with over
33 brands including Bush, Daewoo, Digihome, Panasonic, Sharp,
Telefunken, and Vestel.
The Sharp Smart TV Powered by TiVo will be the first television
in the series to be made available to American consumers, as soon
as February 2025. Boasting a beautiful Ultra High Definition and
High Dynamic Range 55” QLED screen, plus Dolby Atmos®, and 3 HDMI
ports, it will be a smart TV that reinforces Sharp’s reputation for
quality.
The award-winning TiVo OS platform seeks to transform the smart
TV landscape with its intuitive and comprehensive approach to
content management and discovery. The platform seamlessly
aggregates content from various streaming services, linear TV
channels and sports content, allowing consumers to organize and
access their favorite shows, movies, and live events in a single
user interface. TiVo OS 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. Powered by sophisticated
algorithms that learn from individual viewing habits, the platform
provides personalized suggestions tailored to each user's unique
preferences. This content-first approach helps to ensure 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 for 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.
“Partnering with Sharp to introduce smart TVs Powered by TiVo in
the U.S. represents a significant milestone for us,” said Ben
Maughan, general manager of smart TV and media platform for Xperi.
“Our deep understanding of viewer needs and behaviors has allowed
us to develop a platform that elevates the TV experience by making
it more intuitive. We’re excited to bring an enhanced TV experience
to Sharp’s consumers in America.”
“We have partnered with TiVo to provide a truly independent
platform that allows our consumers to find, watch and enjoy content
easily,” said Jim Sanduski, President of Sharp Home Electronics
Company of America. “As we look to gain more foothold in the U.S.
television market, partnering with credible and trustworthy
businesses such as TiVo to provide an experience that aligns with
our consumers needs, is crucial. TiVo’s unbiased, personalized and
content-first approach is exactly the type of operating system our
consumers are looking for.”
