Cabletime acquires roomioTV


Cabletime has announced the acquisition of roomioTV, the US-based hotel and hospitality TV software developer. The move marks Ca- bletime’s inten- tion to become a serious contender in the global ho- tel interactive TV market, enhanc- ing its existing content distribu- tion functionality with a powerful end-user focused solution and bespoke property management interface.


roomioTV has been designed to deliver hotel guests with an in- teractive channel guide indicating what shows they can see. It can deliver live TV, TV-on-Demand, movies from well know OTT providers and can run apps such as local weather updates or even the hotel room bill.


The solution comprises a set-top box run- ning an Android operating system with room- ioTV’s locked-down, easy to use interface which will run seamless- ly with popular displays including Samsung and LG. In the USA, the roomioTV software works with standard hotel property management systems and the plan is to expand this for new geographies.
