TiVo Announces Integration With Flingo LaunchPad Video Platform

TiVo on Thursday announced a new partnership with Flingo’s LaunchPad video platform. The new setup will bring new content and better social sharing options to the TiVo setup.

Flingo will be featured on TiVo® Premiere set-top boxes, delivering more than seventy streaming-on-demand video apps to TV viewers.

TiVo customers will maintain the same features they have come to expect while also gaining access to Flingo’s full portfolio of applications. Fling features content from the likes of TMZ, A&E, History, Showtime, TV Guide, and over fifty other content partners. Flingo and TiVo have also partnered to bring brand new content developed specifically for TiVo via the ‘Launchpad for TiVo’ player.

Users will also benefit from Flingo’s one-click social sharing capabilities for a more engaging TV experience.

Tara Maitra, SVP and general manager of content media sales at TiVo Inc., says of the new platform:

“People are demanding access to online streaming content from the comfort of their own living room, and TiVo’s offerings has evolved to support that demand. Flingo’s platform and wide range of apps makes it possible for TiVo to offer even more choices to our viewers, and we’re excited to work with Flingo.”

Ashwin Navin, CEO and co-founder of Flingo, adds:

“TiVo changed the way we watch television forever. Working with TiVo allows us to drive further innovation into the world of TV by offering the consumer substantially more content diversity and unparalleled social features in the living room.”
