Let’s give a short answer to the question “What’s The TiVo OS?”, which is frequently asked since it started to be seen on UT series televisions produced by Vestel. Let’s look at the small details about the TiVo operating system, which is also available in the New Generation UT series products, such as the product with 17MB190 motherboard used in the VESTEL 75UT9740 model television.
TiVo OS: A New Alternative in Smart Televisions
TiVo OS is an easy-to-use and comprehensive operating system developed for smart televisions. It emerged as a rival to traditionally known operating systems such as Android TV, Google TV, LG webOS and Samsung Tizen.
What Makes TiVo Special?
User-Friendly Interface: TiVo has a simple and understandable interface instead of complex menus. In this way, users can quickly access the content they want.
Extensive Content Library: TiVo offers easy access to popular streaming services. It brings together platforms such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, as well as many different channels under one roof.
Customizable Experience: TiVo makes personalized recommendations by learning users’ viewing habits. Thus, users can easily access the types of content they have watched before.
Voice Command Support: TiVo supports voice commands, like many smart TVs. In this way, users can make voice calls, change channels or adjust the volume without touching the remote.
Advantages of TiVo OS
Access to All Content from a Single Place: It combines content distributed on different platforms in a single interface.
Easy to Use: You can quickly access the content you want without dealing with complex settings or menus.
Personalized Recommendations: You will receive personalized content recommendations based on your viewing habits.
Constant Updates: TiVo OS is regularly updated with new features and improvements.
Disadvantages of TiVo OS
A New System: Since it is not as common as other operating systems on the market, it may take a little longer for some users to get used to it.
Application Variety: It is possible that some specific applications are not available on TiVo OS.
Who is the Developer of TiVo OS?
The developer of the TiVo OS is Xperi Inc. Xperi is an American company specializing in digital video recorders and smart television platforms. The company has undertaken pioneering work, especially in personalized television experience and content discovery.
Does TiVo OS Have Licensing Issues Like Android?
There is an important difference between the TiVo OS and open source operating systems such as Android TV. This difference comes down to licensing and customization.
Android TV: Since it is an open source operating system, manufacturers can make special customizations for their devices based on Android. However, these customizations must comply with Android’s licensing terms. Therefore, Android-based devices may sometimes experience licensing problems.
TiVo OS: TiVo is a generally closed source operating system. This means that TiVo’s source codes are not publicly available and manufacturers cannot change TiVo as they wish. TiVo determines its own license terms and grants licenses in accordance with these terms.
In fact, we understand from here that just as Vestel provides the smart feature on QUI menu televisions by supporting it through a portal, here too you are faced with a portal-supported operating system where you do not have the advantage of installing 3rd party programs.
Although the first user of Tivo OS was Turkish television manufacturer Vestel, we may soon see other manufacturers producing models with this operating system.
