Digital video recorder services provider TiVo and US cable operator Comcast have signed an agreement to enable access to Comcast's library of Xfinity TV On Demand content on TiVo Premiere set-top boxes sold at retail. Comcast customers in select markets will be able to use a TiVo Premiere box to access a fully integrated offering of On Demand programmes, along with linear television and a range of broadband services, all accessible through TiVo's user interface and intuitive search capacities. The service is first expected to be available in the San Francisco Bay Area with a plan for additional markets to follow. In each of those markets, Comcast and TiVo plan to partner on promotion of this new service in retail and other sales channels. Comcast will install TiVo Premiere set-top boxes with its cable service at no additional charge for its customers when the service is available in those markets.
