This week at The Cable Show, Rovi Corporation (NASDAQ: ROVI) unveiled the Rovi TotalGuide Application for Set-top Boxes (STBs), an advanced media guide that simplifies content discovery and access to subscription services. The application is designed to initially work alongside Rovi i-Guide, one of the industry’s most widely deployed on-screen cable guides, to smooth the adoption of a more in-depth user experience that includes advanced search, recommendations and rich metadata. The announcement builds on the earlier launch of Rovi TotalGuide xD, a white-label search and discovery application that extends and connects the cable experience to tablets, smart phones and PC devices. Rovi TotalGuide Applications are a unique approach that Rovi believes will help service providers scale deployment based on user behaviors and preferences and enable their subscribers to become more comfortable with the new technology at their own pace. - View Press Release - Visit Rovi Corporation
