Increase customer satisfaction and enjoyment through cutting-edge search, discovery and recommendations application that simplifies access to cable entertainment services

TotalGuide™ Application for STBs provides an advanced user experience that enables subscribers to quickly see what’s on their favorite channels; search; and browse by program, celebrities, cast and credits across video service offerings – from linear and On Demand to DVR.

Not unlike surfing the web, TotalGuide intuitively leads viewers down an engaging “six degrees” path of discovery. Alleviating the complexity of scrolling through hundreds of channels and thousands of On Demand titles, TotalGuide is efficient, cool and fun.

TotalGuide enables consumers to easily find shows, discover new ones and access content from multiple sources. Consumers can take immediate action to Watch Now, Record or Bookmark programs for later viewing. The application introduces a new way for consumers to find and enjoy their cable operator’s On Demand content.

Initially, TotalGuide will sit alongside i-Guide to smooth consumer adoption of the new user experience while maintaining the familiar guide features and user settings, such as purchase PINs and parental controls.

TotalGuide works within the existing cable ecosystem, providing a scalable solution across different set-top boxes and network configurations. The upgrade and management of TotalGuide is simplified with our managed, cloud-based solutions.
