Freeview Brand Now Featured on TiVo

02 November 2009

Freeview is pleased to announce that TiVo now proudly displays the Freeview logo on its „home page‟ within TiVo‟s Central menu. This signifies TiVo‟s support for the Freeview digital TV platform.

All TiVo customers can now “Watch Freeview” instead of “Watch Live TV” as the TiVo Central screen has been changed to support the Freeview digital TV brand.

Freeview CEO, Robin Parkes said “Incorporating the Freeview brand name into TiVo‟s central menu helps consumers make the connection between the free-to-view digital channels and the Freeview brand. With new channels launching, such as 7TWO on the 1 November and ABC 3 launching on 4 December, linking the brand to be synonymous with these new channels is important for Freeview.”

Both these channels will be available when you switch to digital. One of the ways you can do this is via TiVo.
