Macrovision Solutions Corporation (NASDAQ:MVSN), a digital entertainment technology leader, announced today at The 2009 Cable Show the availability of multi-room DVR capabilities for its industry-leading Passport Echo 3.5 and i-Guide A28 interactive program guides (IPGs). With planned availability on Motorola's standardized MoCA�-enabled set-top boxes, Macrovision�s multi-room DVR solutions will allow DVR-recorded content to be enjoyed throughout the home network.

Macrovision�s enhanced IPGs will make DVR recordings even more convenient and accessible to viewers by allowing multiple household members to enjoy their own personal DVR experience. As DVR use continues to explode in popularity among TV viewers, cable operators can leverage Macrovision�s IPGs to add significant value to this service offering and remain at the cutting-edge of technology in today�s highly competitive digital entertainment market.

�DVRs have continued to gain traction in U.S. households, topping 31 million at the end of 2008,� said Ian Olgeirson, senior analyst with SNL Kagan. �Cable operators face an increasingly competitive environment and need to add multi-room DVRs in order to more economically satisfy demand for the time-shifting technology on additional screens in the household.�

�The game is rapidly changing in the world of digital home entertainment. Consumers now want access to all the content available on the TV that is right in front of them wherever they are in their home. Macrovision is a leader in this transformation,� said Corey Ferengul, executive vice president of product management and marketing at Macrovision. �The addition of multi-room DVR features to our Passport Echo and i-Guide IPG solutions underscores our commitment to delivering the technology that enables our MSO customers to address the evolving needs of TV viewers around the world.�

Macrovision�s multi-room DVR capability will be available on its standard, easy-to-use i-Guide IPG and its highly advanced, feature-rich Passport Echo IPG, providing Macrovision customers with different options to meet their own customer needs.

Passport and iGuide Multi-Room DVR features will include:

  • Start and stop a show in one room and resume play in another
  • View of list of my recordings from multiple locations within the home
  • Watch a recorded program at the same time as other family members watch the same show
  • Trick mode with multiple speeds for fast forward, rewind, pause, slow motion and instant replay
  • Play up to three HD shows on the network while recording two HD shows

Passport Echo 3.5 and i-Guide A28 with multi-room DVR features will be demonstrated at The Cable Show at NCTA (Macrovision booth # 1605) and are planned to be available in North America on Motorola MoCA-enabled STBs in Q4 2009.
