TiVo to offer subscribers independent and international films from Jaman

January 18, 2008 – TiVo has announced that it has formed an agreement with Internet movie service Jaman.com to offer TiVo subscribers access to Jaman’s catalogue of independent and international films direct from their TV.

The service will be made available in coming months to broadband-connected TiVo Series2 and Series3 subscribers.  Viewers will gain access to such titles as Oscar-nominated “Paheli”, “Loverboy” (Sundance), “All About Lily Chou-Chou” (Berlin International film Festival) and Dardennes Brothers’ “La Promesse” (Cannes/Toronto).

“We’re delighted to introduce the availability of Jaman to our TiVo subscribers and we think it’ll prove to be an exceptionally popular addition to our already robust broadband offerings,” said Tara Maitra, Vice President and GM of Content Services at TiVo.  “This joint alliance significantly increases the selection of international and award-winning movies made available to TiVo subscribers, giving them more choices and easy access to premium content not available elsewhere.”

TiVo adds that the agreement with Jaman will “perfectly” complement its Amazon Unbox service, which offers thousands of mainstream movies and TV shows.
