Cincinnati Bell has joined the whole-home DVR movement, deploying Motorola’s multi-room digital video recorder (MR-DVR) solution to its subscribers.
The MR-DVR solution uses a media software application running on a combination of up to eight DVR and non-DVR DCX all-digital high-definition set-top boxes. The system enables Cincinnati Bell subscribers to pause live TV, record and play back content, and manage their recorded library and DVR settings on any set-top in the home, even if it is not a DVR set-top.
“We recognize that winning new video subscribers is becoming more challenging as new competition emerges. Our subscribers expect us to deliver high quality content and innovative services, and this latest MR-DVR solution from Motorola allows us to do that,” explained Darrick Zucco, vice president and general manager of Cincinnati Bell’s wireline services.
Motorola’s MR-DVR solution operates over the existing home coax wiring using Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) technology, creating an IP network throughout the home that enables time-shifting and place-shifting of video content. The solution also offers bookmaking capabilities and parental controls.
Cincinnati Bell competes with Time Warner Cable in the Cincinnati area.
