The Pace XG1 Multi-tuner Video Gateway with TiVo Advanced User Interface platform, offering its cable customers linear TV, VOD and interactive content across multiple screens and devices.
GCI, whose cable plant passes 78% of homes in Alaska, has been offering TiVo to its customers for the last two years. It has also been a regular customer for the British technology developer.
Tim O’Loughlin, President of Pace Americas said: “Over the course of our seven plus year partnership with GCI, we have been fortunate to launch multiple new technologies in the Alaska market. GCI is the first on a long list of service providers planning deployments of our solution this year. The reception by subscribers and the industry of this joint product initiative has been incredible.”
