Arroyo Video Solutions extends leadership position in nPVR

Following numerous recent operator announcements of network personal video recorder (nPVR) services, Arroyo Video Solutions has announced enhancements to its nPVR software, further solidifying its lead in delivering nPVR solutions.
Arroyo's enhancements set new performance standards for nPVR content ingest rates and storage densities, nPVR service availability, and the instant availability of broadcast TV content in the on-demand format. These advancements mean that operators can deploy nPVR services that offer the same functionality as in-home PVRs with enormous savings in equipment, installation and service costs.
Arroyo's nPVR solution enables operators to quickly and easily deploy nPVR using existing set-top boxes, delivering an immediate and positive impact on average revenue per unit (ARPU), churn and customer satisfaction. When operators deploy Arroyo's network-based PVR solution, their subscribers enjoy all of the functionality of an in-home PVR device including program scheduling, pausing, fast-forwarding and rewinding.
As non-linear (on-demand, time-shifted, and nPVR) television viewing continues to gain mass market adoption, the percentage of 'served' TV programming vs. reception of transient broadcast signals will dramatically increase.
"Subscribers want the PVR experience and operators are recognizing the cost savings and value associated with network-based PVR solutions. We are pleased to offer operators an unprecedented ability to deliver more PVR content to their subscribers with faster responsiveness and at the lowest total cost," said Arroyo's VP of Marketing & Business Development, David Yates. "The dramatic scalability and resiliency gains which Arroyo is announcing today give operators the tools they need to successfully scale an nPVR service to mass-market levels with faster time to market and at the lowest total cost."
