TiVo, Jaman partner to offer more films

If you are a broadband-connected TiVo subscriber and like your American independent and international films, then you are going to be pretty excited about the fact that Jaman and TiVo have teamed up to add content from Jaman’s premier library, featuring films such as, Oscar-nominated “Paheli,” “Loverboy” (Sundance) with Kyra Sedgwick, “All About Lily Chou-Chou” (Berlin International Film Festival) and Dardennes Brothers’ “La Promesse” (Cannes/Toronto).

Not your usual TiVo offering, so this is either looking at a niche market or attempting to broaden the viewing preferences of the current subscribers. Described as “high definition, edgy and award-winning films” the deal extends Jaman’s broad cross-platform leadership with support for set-top boxes, PCs, Macs, SanDisk’s TakeTV and DivX.

“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 Inc. “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.”

The films will be available for rent or purchase (starting at $1.99) with some free downloads on offer for a number of short and full length films.
