digiGO! — The Digital (R)Evolution™ — Entone Is An OTT Fan With Roxio


Entone homepage Sonic Solutions® (NASDAQ: SNIC) and Entone, Inc. are partnering to provide telcos a comprehensive entertainment solution combining live broadcast TV and DVR capabilities with instant access to OTT (over-the-top) entertainment powered by Roxio CinemaNow™. Entone’s focus is to enable access to rich media, including live television and recorded content, throughout the home without requiring new wiring or set-tops at each TV. With Entone’s new hybrid TV service platform, the availability of recorded content includes both programs stored on a whole-home DVR or on cloud-based services such as Roxio CinemaNow.

Roxio CinemaNow services are able to deliver a massive selection of premium video entertainment for rental or purchase. CinemaNow's cloud-based media services power devices from multiple manufacturers, forming a connected ecosystem that consumers can use to seamlessly choose, move and view video entertainment. The CinemaNow ecosystem currently includes PCs, connected TVs, set top DVRs, Blu-ray Disc and mobile media players from leading manufacturers. Roxio CinemaNow powered premium services will be available to Entone’s telco customers via an IPTV service model or via Entone’s new SelecTV™ service that will be released later this year.
