We are excited to fully launch our European Sales Organization to meet the needs of our European customers," said Ben Weinberger, Vice President at TiVo.

They demand the most sophisticated and customizable personalized search and recommendations platform to further drive engagement and increase customer satisfaction. TiVo delivers this need."
