TiVo’s platform will give the viewer a one-stop-shop for delivering and searching content right on the television.
“Consumers tell us they want the best of Internet-based content delivered right to their televisions without the hassle of having to fumble with multiple devices, wires, and remotes,” said Fernando Silva, vice president of Best Buy Exclusive Brands. “The beauty of TiVo software is that it creates a single interactive interface right on the television and integrates the myriad of online content and services. Insignia is thrilled to work with TiVo to bring this superior experience to our customers through our TiVo-powered Insignia television.”
