Internet and phone provider TalkTalk has confirmed that its forthcoming YouView based broadband
Television ( IPTV ) service -
TalkTalk TV, which is due to launch by the
middle of 2011, will also make use of
Technicolor's new
MediaNavi (aka - Media Navigator) platform.
MediaNavi claims to be a
cloud-based, cross-platform and multi-screen content service that has been designed to make navigating the universe of content simple, seamless, and social for consumers everywhere.
Max Alexander, Director TalkTalk TV, said:
"We are very pleased to be working with Technicolor on the next generation of multi-screen, personalized video solutions. With Technicolor’s MediaNavi, we are looking at new ways to provide a consistent approach across multiple devices and to be able to offer our customers a truly premiere user interface within a touch screen tablet device."
It's understood that TalkTalk and Technicolor will run two different
spring 2011 trials of the technology. One will test MediaNavi on tablets as a "
personalized and enriched second screen video experience". The second is less of a trial and more of a commitment to directly integrate MediaNavi into TalkTalk’s YouView
Set-Top-Boxes (STB's).
