The headline was too good not to reuse, but Dave Zatz has a few more details about a DVR with integrated over-the-air TV capabilities that TiVo and Philips are developing.

 HD Guru first came across this development at CES last month, but Zatz notes that a two-tuner prototype shown at CES appeared to be reusing an old Philips form-factor,  and that the interface presented there “looks nothing like the current or upcoming TiVo UI,” so it’s not clear whether this was merely a “placeholder” for what will grace the final product.

But the combo marks a reunion of sorts as Philips and TiVo got together to build and market an original retail TiVo PVR, a monstrosity that was standard-def-only and used a telco return to obtain data for the guide, as well as TiVo-powered receivers for DirecTV. 

HD Guru reported that the new Philips-TiVo combo will be coming out in the fall, with pricing to be announced on what was being referred to at CES as the “Philips HD Personal Video Recorder Powered by TiVo.”

TiVo, which still sells the cord-cutter-focused Roamio OTA and coming off merger with Rovi last year, is still mum on any additional details about the new Philips hook-up, but offered this statement:

“While we do not comment on our customers' product plans, TiVo does continuously work with companies to develop new products and features to create innovative user experiences and enable viewers to stay connected to their favorite entertainment.”

Elsewhere in TiVo-land, The Donohue Report uncovered documents revealing some details about a new 4K DVR IP video gateway called the DCX905 that Arris has developed in partnership with TiVo and appears to be tagged for cable MSO partners. That product seemingly stems from a deal announced by TiVo and Arris in 2015.

Liberty Global is teaming with StartupDelta to shine some of the CES spotlight on Dutch startups at next month’s gizmo-fest in Las Vegas.

They will connect at the Holland Startup Pavilion, an initiative started by StartupDelta, a public-private partnership headed by HRH Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands that manages eight tech hubs across  that country in tandem with the national business community and the Dutch Government.

Based at the Sands Expo’s Eureka Park (level 2) at CES, the Holland Startup Pavilion will feature 30 Dutch startups in cooperation with Liberty Global, an international MSO with about 29 million customers.  

 “New and innovative companies like those that will feature at the Pavilion are an important source of innovation and drive change for all industries,” Liberty Global CEO Mike Fries said, in a statement. “That’s why, in the past seven years alone, Liberty Global has invested more than $150 million in startups. We are delighted to be working together with StartupDelta at CES to promote high-tech innovation in the Netherlands.”

 “With 15 companies set for our first major CES campaign, we quickly doubled the capacity as a result of the super high interest of our companies to go to market using the CES business platform of Eureka Park,” added Henriette van Notten, director of StartupDelta.

Showgoers at next month’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas can expect to have access to a solid, speedy mobile connection.

The Las Vegas Convention Center has rolled out a large “neutral-host” Distributed Antenna  System in partnership with Cox Business/Hospitality and InSite Wireless Group that, they say, will be the equivalent to packing 14 cell towers inside the facility.

The new DAS, an $18 million project that took three years to plan and 10 months to build, spans the LVCC’s 3.2 million square feet of space, equal to about 26 football fields, they said, noting that it will complement the facility’s existing high-density WiFi network, which is currently comprised of 2,100 802.11ac WiFi access points.

Supported by “four major U.S. wireless carriers,” the new DAS will be capable of serving more than 100,000 people simultaneously, and expect it to deliver faster download speeds on smartphones than people would expect to get on most corporate networks

Corning was tapped as the new DAS’s core equipment provider.

Among other stats, the DAS supports 44 zones (38 indoor) and backed by five indoor, monitored DC power plants, and 41 equipment racks in the DAS headend. It’s also equipped for future 5G technology, the partners said.

In 2013, Cox Business announced it had won a seven-year deal to provide voice, data and video for the Las Vegas Convention Center and Cashman Center.
