Rovi technology is being incorporated into release 2.0 of the BlackBerry PlayBook Video Store, the movie-streaming service for the PlayBook.
“The BlackBerry PlayBook Video Store allows users to watch content moments after a download begins, and the tablet device includes an HDMI output for connecting to an HDTV,” reports Home Media Magazine.
In related news, Rovi announced this week that its Rovi Entertainment Store would be used to power Dixons Retail’s KnowHow Movies video service in the UK.
“The service, launching March 1, offers catalog video titles to connected devices, including HDTVs, Blu-ray Disc players and gaming consoles,” explains the article. “Dixons aims to expand the service to mobile devices later this year. The service uses Rovi’s DivX Plus streaming video technology, which includes 1080p video, subtitles and multiple language tracks.”
