Cablevision said today it will test market TiVo and a wireless router along with its “Optimum Triple Play” package to current satellite customers. The new combination will allow a broadband return without the need for a telephone line, Cablevision said.
The so-called triple play combines iO: Interactive Optimum digital cable, Optimum Online high-speed Internet access and Optimum Voice voice-over-cable service. The companies didn’t provide any other information about the agreement. [PVR Wire]
