Broadcast Interactive Media will use its TitanTV signal prediction and data services technologies to support Simple.TV's new personal DVR, the company announced today. The added support will provide consumers with a list of TV stations available over-the-air at their specific household address.
The Simple.TV DVR grabs live over-the-air HDTV signals then streams them to Web-connected devices, such as iPads, Roku media streamers, PCs and Macs, enabling users to get free HDTV without a cable or satellite subscription. Simple.TV's new DVR for "cord-cutters" will go on sale in mid-December, the company said.
"Simple.TV captures over-the-air broadcast TV and makes it available on all your favorite connected screens—inside your house or on the road," Mark Ely, CEO of Simple.TV, said in a statement. “BIM technology helps Simple.TV users to determine the number and strength of channels they can expect to receive."
