Evolution Digital and TiVo have Partnered to Provide Cable Operators a Simple, User-Friendly Process for Managing TiVo Activations

Centennial, Colo. (October 21, 2010) - Evolution Digital, LLC, a leading supplier of digital solutions for bandwidth reclamation and next generation advanced set top boxes, launches an extremely user-friendly TiVo^® Operator Portal for managing TiVo DVR activations.

Evolution Digital, who partnered with TiVo in May 2009 to provide independent cable operators with broadband-enabled TiVo DVRs, is now selling TiVo Premiere boxes to more than 30 cable operators throughout North America.

To help support operators make this process extremely easy to deploy and promote TiVo Premiere to their subscribers, Evolution Digital has created the TiVo Operator Portal. Through the Operator Portal, cable operators are able to login and have access to their entire list of active TiVo customers. Operators will be able to upload new activations, download entire activation list, update subscriber information and deactivate subscribers when necessary. Operators have access to the latest TiVo news as well as logos, screenshots and product images for promotional material including troubleshooting and support links.

"Evolution offers a real value-added service to cable operators launching TiVo Premiere boxes," explains Brent Smith, President of Evolution Digital. "Operators are not only able to offer subscribers the best-known, most-loved DVR on the planet and take advantage of the incredible brand recognition and national advertising, they also now have first hand access to an online portal providing them all the needed resources to be successful operators deploying TiVo Premiere boxes."

Evolution Digital will be demo'ing the TiVo Operator Portal at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo in New Orleans, booth # 425.
