Cubiware And MStar Semiconductor Announce Partnership

(RTTNews) - Cubiware, a Warsaw, Poland based subsidiary of TiVo Inc. (TIVO), announced its continued expansion in Asia with a new partnership with MStar Semiconductor, Inc., a semiconductor company for display and digital home solutions. The collaboration will integrate MStar's Hybrid Set-Top Box chipset solution with the full-featured CubiTV Hybrid Middleware.

Using MStar's Full HD MPEG-4/MPEG-2/HEVC STB chipset platform with the latest advanced security engine, Cubiware will offer a complete system solution that includes PayTV/IPTV/OTT product segments.

MStar can offer STB Manufacturers, Operators, and Telcos the most efficient way to meet market needs. The solution will provide a competitive advantage to set-top boxes and enhance the customer experience while considerably reducing time-to-market for delivery of new value added services.

The collaboration between Cubiware and MStar will lead to other possible solutions, such as the implementation of TiVo Lite onto MStar's chipset platforms. This solution would enable TiVo's legendary User Experience on low-cost -- yet fully featured -- Set-top Boxes, and make it readily available to operators in a greater number of markets.
