PVR pioneer TiVo is partnering with Buckeye CableSystem, a US cable operator servicing northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.



Starting in June 2016, TiVo will become the primary provider of the software, user experience and cloud services for Buckeye's television offering across its service area. Buckeye will market and deploy TiVo's multiscreen offering, including TiVo-powered DVRs and thin clients, TiVo Web, mobile and tablet applications, and shortly thereafter, TiVo's non-DVR hybrid set-top box (STB).

The new partnership aims to allow Buckeye's customers to enjoy a consistent TV experience combining TiVo's user interface with traditional cable content and broadband-delivered over-the-top (OTT) content, such as Hulu, YouTube, HBOGo and more. The device supports TiVo's whole-home capabilities, including recorded content to client STB, Web, mobile and tablet applications.

"We are excited about our new partnership with TiVo," said Jeff Abbas, president and GM of Buckeye. "Deploying TiVo gives our customers access to both traditional and streaming content and the most advanced whole-home, multiscreen TV solution in the industry. TiVo allows Buckeye to rapidly deliver new technologies and immediately satisfy our subscribers' increasing demand for broadband video."
