Kasenna announced the availability of a network-based Personal Video Recorder (NPVR) feature for its MediaBase XMP video server line and other Linux-based servers running MediaBase. Kasenna’s TimelessTV NPVR leverages the company’s next generation vForge video service development framework. Network-based PVRs enable viewers to pause and resume live TV broadcasts, as well as to record, pause, rewind, and fast-forward through previously recorded shows, all without having to buy and install set-top boxes with hard disk storage, such as TiVo. Kasenna’s NPVR is based in the service provider’s own operations center.
Kasenna said NPVR services could be offered by broadband service providers, hospitality chains, MTU/MDU owners, and other organizations. http://www.kasenna.com
