Action Engine Powers Tivo Mobile

TiVo, a leading provider of digital video recorders and services, has selected Action Engine Corporation to power its TiVo Mobile feature, Action Engine reported Wednesday. With TiVo Mobile, subscribers can use their wireless phones as virtual remote controls to program their TiVo Series2 or Series3 DVRs. This service is available exclusively through Verizon Wireless. Headquartered in Bellevue, Wash., Action Engine specializes in designing user interfaces for mobile devices. Its Mobile Application Platform, a version of which was adopted for TiVo Mobile, incorporates a browserless, client-server approach to mobile search content that the firm says requires 80 percent fewer keystrokes and produces significantly faster response times than competing products.
