TV set manufacturer Vestel has introduced the first smart TVs powered by TiVo in German retail stores.

Telefunken and JVC are the first Vestel brands to have the operating system (OS) developed by US technology company Xperi on board.

The smart TVs offer access to live TV, streaming services and on-demand platforms on their user interface, including a search function, personalised recommendations and voice navigation.

“Together with Xperi, we are unveiling the future of entertainment for German TV viewers. The TiVo OS offers a whole new level of personalisation and content discovery,” said Taner Ayilmaz, Managing Director of Vestel Holland B.V. Germany Branch Office. “Gone are the days of wasting hours every week searching for a suitable TV programme. The new smart TVs offer an advanced, AI-powered user experience for quick access to a huge amount of content.”

Xperi recently stepped up its engagement of bringing TiVo to smart TVs with Panasonic being another brand that recently selected the OS for its range of TV sets.
