Feb 26 (Reuters) – Digital video recorder maker TiVo Inc reported a better-than-expected 20 percent rise inquarterly revenue and said it expects to benefit from ComcastCorp’s $45.2 billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable.
The deal will give Comcast, a key cable customer of TiVo,access to 19 of the 20 largest U.S. TV markets and is widelyexpected to reshape the country’s pay TV and broadband markets.
TiVo also said Comcast plans to expand the integration ofXfinity On Demand, the cable company’s digital store of moviesand TV shows, on TiVo’s set-top boxes to its entire market.
“To the extent (the expansion) continues to apply to thedigital markets that Comcast may acquire, we certainly look atthat as a potential benefit,” Chief Executive Tom Rogers toldReuters.
