TORONTO – Compton Communications will provide TiVo HD DVRs thanks to a partnership with Evolution Digital.
Evolution, a supplier of digital solutions for bandwidth reclamation and next generation advanced set-top boxes, is providing Compton with TiVo HD DVRs via a cable operator focused partnership with TiVo Inc.
“Now that the TiVo HD DVR is a one-box solution in Canada, acting as the sole cable box, TiVo’s brand recognition as the world’s leading user interface and DVR made it the logical next step to enhance our product offering,” said Travis Campbell, Compton’s marketing manager, in the announcement. “It has been Compton’s goal to offer our customers the very best, cutting-edge entertainment choices available. With TiVo HD DVRs being CableCARD compatible and no infrastructure or expensive equipment needed to launch, it was a clear decision.”
The company plans to launch the TiVo HD DVRs in time for the holidays. It will also continue to offer other cable boxes.
