MobiTV Offers Efficient, Global Network DVR as Standalone Licensable Solution to Service Providers PR Newswire EMERYVILLE, California, July 19, 2012 EMERYVILLE, California, July 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MobiTV, a global leader in enabling delivery of live and on-demand TV Everywhere, announced today that its innovative network DVR will be released as a standalone licensable solution to service providers. The MobiTV nDVR successfully navigates complex rights management across countries by efficiently configuring for any of the governing international rules. Available to cable television service providers, wireless carriers and other network operators, MobiTV's nDVR was developed and, previously, exclusively available only as an element of MobiTV's end-to-end multiscreen platform. Network DVR allows viewers to record and store television content in the cloud, rather than on a DVR box in their home. As a result, consumers can record an unlimited number of programs at any time and retrieve them anywhere, inside or outside the home, on connected devices. For example, instead of investing in costly set-top boxes for subscribers, service providers can send them a "thin" box that requires only an Internet connection and HDMI cable to interface with the cloud-hosted nDVR system. Moreover, since nDVR does not store programming on the device in the home, it untethers consumers so that they may watch the content anytime, anywhere.
