Entone Mixes Cable, OTT

July 23, 2012 |

CUPERTINO, Calif. -- Entone, Inc., a leading provider of Hybrid TV and Connected Home solutions, announced today that its Hybrid TV solution is enabling cable operators to deliver an enhanced HDTV service that combines traditional cable TV (CATV) service and over-the-top (OTT) services via a seamless user experience.

In partnership with Confluent Technology Group and Minerva Networks, West Alabama TV Cable is the latest addition to Entone's lineup of Cable TV operators launching its Hybrid TV solution. Enabled by Entone's Hybrid TV devices and WebVOD(TM) application, subscribers in Fayette, Alabama can now enjoy whole-home DVR, rich HD channel line-up, an extensive library of cloud-based video-on-demand content from VUDU, Internet radio from Pandora, social media via Facebook and Twitter, and popular media services such as Flickr, Picasa and YouTube.

"We have moved into a realm of service expansion and feature-rich flexibility that previously was only available to the largest cable companies," said Kyle South, General Manager at West Alabama TV Cable. "Thanks to the collaborative efforts from Confluent, Entone and Minerva, we are able to leverage our existing broadband infrastructure to enhance the appeal of our service portfolio with a richer and more compelling TV service, while also deepening our relationship with our customers."
