Macrovision Expands Presence in Mexico

Macrovision Solutions Corporation (NASDAQ:MVSN), a digital entertainment technology leader, announced today an agreement with Megacable Comunicaciones, the largest MSO in Mexico with 1.5 million subscribers in 53 major cities. The agreement includes Megacable’s use of Passport Echo, Macrovision’s cable IPG, and Macrovision’s television listing data. The deployment covers Megacable’s Motorola systems.

On the new system, Megacable’s subscribers will also have access to the ShowRunner Video on Demand (VOD) application, a fully integrated on demand feature that provides a more intuitive and simple consumer experience for accessing VOD content and iSubscribe, an application that allows viewers to use their remotes to instantly order service packages.

The Passport Echo IPG features access to high resolution graphics, an intuitive interface design and optional rich video controls for searching for shows by title or keywords and scheduling recordings. Its Remote Wizard application teaches viewers how to program their multi function remote controls to operate other devices such as a TV or VCR.

This agreement continues Macrovision’s expansion into the Latin American market, complimenting several other previously announced customer wins. The growth in digital cable subscribers in Latin America, and Mexico demonstrates that MSOs are seeking market leading solutions to provide their subscribers the best user experience and highest possible satisfaction.
