LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM and SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 2, 2015) - Virgin Media, the UK's ultrafast internet provider, today confirms an extension to its agreement with TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVO). 

The new agreement extends for a further three years the existing five-year partnership between Virgin Media and TiVo in the UK. As part of the new agreement, Virgin Media has committed to the development of next-generation solutions from TiVo.

Virgin Media launched the first set-top box incorporating TiVo software in 2010. Since launch, Virgin Media has installed TiVo enabled set-top boxes in more than 2.5 million homes. This pioneering platform brought together broadcast TV, thousands of hours of on demand programming and the best of the web in a single set-top box. In 2012, Virgin Media launched the award winning Virgin TV Anywhere service which underpinned the seamless experience for TV viewers. Virgin Media customers benefit from ultrafast broadband speeds of up to 152Mb, at least twice the fastest speeds available from competitors, providing households with superior TV and internet connectivity without compromise across multiple devices.

Gregor McNeil, Virgin Media's Chief Operating Officer, said: "We're pleased to continue our relationship with TiVo in the UK. Virgin Media continues to lead the UK market in bringing together the broadest choice of programming along with the best way to access it."
