IP Vision is to use the TV Genius content aggregation engine to enhance the functionality of the TV listings on its FetchTV service.

TV Genius and IP Vision have worked together to provide a searchable product for web, mobile and hybrid DTT/IPTV that provides a central point for finding  programming from a variety of broadcast and web sources.

“Traditionally there has been concern that the increase in availability of content on the web will mean that viewers will start to migrate to internet video rather than the channels that they have more commonly watched on their chosen TV platform,” said Peter Cox, marketing sirector at IP Vision.

“The deployment of the TV Genius Content Discovery Platform on the FetchTV service helps ensure that the very best and most relevant content is still firmly in the viewing plans of the consumer, whatever the source.”

TV Genius’ Content Discovery Platform provides content search and recommendations for TV content.

FetchTV requires a smartbox set-top-box and offers more than 50 linear channels through Freeview, PVR functionality, VOD content, and catch-up content over-the-top from the BBC iPlayer.
