The solution includes a guide set top box (STB) application, hosted communications infrastructure and web-based listings application.

While at the Cable-Tec Expo, Rovi will also demonstrate the latest versions of the Passport Guide, i-Guide, a new design for the Passport Guide tru2way, interactive advertising and entertainment data solutions.
