Cox announces multi-room DVR

April 6, 2009

Cox Communications plans to offer a multi-room viewing option for DVR customers, allowing viewers to access content on digital video recorders from any television in the home, the company announced today.

Multi-room viewing will launch in a yet to be named Cox market later this year with additional launches to follow, the company said in a release.

"Cox strives to continually enhance the TV experience for our customers with advanced video services that allow for more viewing flexibility and personalization," said Steve Necessary, vice president of video strategy and product management. "We have been testing multi-room viewing in our labs and are confident that our customers will love the additional convenience and functionality it offers."

The cable company said it is upgrading its DVR to offer a "next generation" viewer guide which includes new personalization, search options and interactive features.

Multi-room DVR viewing provides users with the ability to watch content that is recorded on one DVR in the home on other non-DVR receivers in the home.

A new standard for in-home communication called MoCA (Multimedia Over Cable Alliance) home networking technology allows Cox to connect receivers to one another.
