Comcast Licenses Microsoft TV Software

Comcast purchased a license that enables it to make Microsoft TV Foundation Edition 1.7 software available to up to 5 million customers, with the option to expand the rollout at a later date.



Microsoft TV Foundation Edition is designed to work across a range of set-top boxes, from the tens of millions of set-tops that multiple service operators (MSOs) have in place today to the ongoing deployment of advanced set-tops that enable new services, including dual-tuner DVR, VOD, HDTV, games and more. The software, among the first to support the dual-tuner DVR and HDTV capabilities in Motorola's new DCT 6412 set-top, also helps viewers more easily use these services with an innovative, built-in interactive programming guide (IPG). http://www.microsoft.comhttp://www.comcast.com
