TiVo® Australia cooks up a partnership with Dominos Pizza
TiVo Australia follows hot on the heels of the US enabling TiVo users to order their favourite pizza through their TV
Sydney, Australia, Wednesday 3 December 2008 - Hybrid Television Services (ANZ) Pty Ltd, the exclusive licensee of TiVo® products in Australia and New Zealand, has today announced that TiVo users in Australia will be able to order their Dominos Pizza delivery through their television in 2009.
Launched just last month in the US, today's announcement demonstrates that Hybrid Television Services is fast making the TiVo media device as indispensable in Australia as it has become in its home country.
Hybrid TV CEO, Robbee Minicola, commented: "The whole idea behind purchasing a TiVo media device is that you get the best of digital free-to-air television as well as broadband content and services. The new Domino's service coming in 2009 is an outstanding example of how the TV is developing beyond one-way entertainment and moving into transactional service delivery. When a TiVo family sits down to watch a movie or watch their favourite TV program they can complete the experience with a pizza delivered directly to their door.
Don Meij, CEO of Dominos Pizza added, "Convenience is a critical motivator behind Australians choosing to order a pizza. As the biggest pizza delivery company in Australia we are interested in any platform that will make it easier and quicker to get one of our pizzas into the living room for the whole family to enjoy while watching TV. The TiVo media device combines great television and movies and we are proud to play a role in kicking off transactional services."
Full service details will be announced closer to launch in the new year.
