The
long-term agreement between the companies will fuel Silicondust’s many
connected devices and applications across existing and future tuner devices in
the U.S. and North America, with opportunity for expansion worldwide.
“We
are thrilled to provide Silicondust with first class television content.
Together, we will connect consumers with the most relevant, well-rounded
television information and rich media, allowing them to make more informed
viewing choices,” said Chris Stark, Sr., President and CEO of FYI.
Consumers
can now expect to experience more in-depth show information and will be able to
make image-based viewing decisions from a comprehensive library of showcards,
network logos and celebrity photos.
Among
the Silicondust applications and connected devices to receive the new
entertainment data and image content is HDHomeRun VIEW for Android;
additionally, FYI data will appear on future tablet and phone apps working in
conjunction with the latest HDHomeRun brand devices, including currently
available products HDHR3-CC (Prime), HDHR4-2US (Dual) and HDTC2-2US (PLUS).
“We
anticipate highly positive reviews in terms of user experience as we introduce
the new data throughout our many applications and connected devices. Now we
have the enriched metadata and rich media consumers have been asking for from a
provider with a proven track record of accuracy.” said Ted Head, President and
CEO of Silicondust USA.
In
particular, consumers can expect to interact with the new content soon, first
through HDHomeRun VIEW, an Android application developed by Silicondust that
allows consumers to stream live TV from their smartphones and tablets. An
update of HDHomeRun VIEW complete with the integration of FYI content is
expected to be released in the Google Play store on or before July 1st.
QuickTV,
Silicondust's live TV viewing application for PCs, will also be receiving
improvements such as showcards and guide data. QuickTV will be available for
Windows, Linux and Mac later this summer.
