SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 28, 2016) - Cubiware, a Warsaw, Poland based subsidiary of TiVo Inc. (
Using MStar's Full HD MPEG-4/MPEG-2/HEVC STB chipset platform with the latest advanced security engine, Cubiware will offer a complete system solution that includes PayTV/IPTV/OTT product segments. Leveraging this partnership, MStar can offer STB Manufacturers, Operators, and Telcos the most efficient way to meet market needs. The highly optimized solution will provide a competitive advantage to set-top boxes and enhance the customer experience while considerably reducing time-to-market for delivery of new value added services.
