SAN CARLOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rovi Corporation (NASDAQ: ROVI) today unveiled i-Guide HD R32, a high-definition guide with a modern design user interface. i-Guide enriches the viewer's entertainment experience and provides users with easy access to all their favorite content. Additionally, Rovi announced that Click! Network, a multi-service broadband cable provider, is the first customer to deploy i-Guide for their subscribers. This newest release of i-Guide aims to bolster customer satisfaction by enabling service providers to deliver improvements in entertainment discovery without the need to upgrade or switch out existing hardware.

We are dedicated to serving our customers, especially as they develop next-generation guides and introduce advanced entertainment services, said Michael Hawkey, senior vice president and general manager of the discovery business group, Rovi. i-Guide demonstrates our ongoing commitment to our customers in the face of rapid technology developments and subscriber demands. Our customers are gaining a competitive edge by providing new and user-friendly experiences for entertainment discovery.

Rovi helps providers continue to engage their subscribers in today's fragmented entertainment market. i-Guide enables service providers, like Click!, the opportunity to elevate the user experience to the next level and allows consumers to access content easily on a visually engaging interface with a full HD experience.

In today's competitive marketplace, Click! Network remains committed to delivering the best customer experience possible, said Pam Burgess, business operations manager, Click! Network. Rovi's i-Guide enables us to offer an enriched entertainment experience that captures the attention of our viewers, while still maintaining the offerings and services we've always delivered.

In addition to the high-definition interface design, other features include:

HD Auto-Tune: tunes to the appropriate HD channel from the standard-definition channel and allows subscribers to view their favorite shows at the highest resolution

Enhanced TV listings grid: enables subscribers to view more TV listings and channels at-a-glance, for an enriched entertainment discovery experience
