Geneva-based set-top box/digital TV technology provider, Advanced Digital Broadcast (ADB), said Tuesday that it has appointed Chris Dinallo to its ADB Americas Cable team as VP of product management, tasking him with leading the team's product and project management group.

Geneva-based set-top box company, Advanced Digital Broadcast (ADB), announced today that it has demonstrated live that it can "deliver the promise of tru2way for cable system operators and consumers." According to the company, at a recent CableLabs Interop event it showed how its ADB-4820C HD set-top box can seamlessly support the full functionality of both Cisco and Motorola tru2way headends and CableCARDs: the box was first connected to a Cisco headend using a Cisco CableCARD, and displayed Time Warner Cable's TV channels and tru2way interactive guide.

Geneva-based Advanced Digital Broadcast (ADB) on Tuesday announced the line-up of demo's it is planning for its booth (Stand 5.B48) at next month's IBC show in Amsterdam.

ADB Group, the parent company of interactive TV software specialists, Vidiom Systems and Osmosys, and set-top vendor, ADB, has released financial results for the first half of 2009:

Macrovision--the company which last year acquired the US's dominant EPG developer, Gemstar-TV Guide, and which recently announced that it would change its name to Rovi, as part of a complete revamp of its brand identity--has signed multi-year EPG patent-licensing agreements with French pay-TV operator, Canal+ Group, and with Swiss set-top box vendor, Advanced Digital Broadcast (ADB).

MHP, tru2way and Blu-ray specialist, Alticast, will shortly announce that it has appointed David Housman as CEO of its Alticast Americas arm. Housman was most recently SVP and general manager of rival Vidiom Systems, and has been replaced at that company by Jeff Berenson, who was formerly VP of integration and deployment.

Geneva, Switzerland-based set-top box manufacturer, Advanced Digital Broadcast (note: the company, generally known by the acronym ADB, is the corporate stablemate of Vidiom and Osmosys), says that its new ADB-2500W SD IPTV set-top box has been certified for use with Minerva Networks' iTVManager 3.2 middleware. Certification means that the box now supports the entire Minerva ecosystem, which also includes iTVManager versions 2.1 and 3.1. According to ADB, the box provides operators with an MPEG-2/MPEG-4 standard-definition solution that also supports whole-home DVR via DLNA and is compatible with leading conditional access/digital rights management and VOD systems.
