Rovi Entertainment Store

Built on proven technology, Rovi Entertainment Store (RES) provides retailers, service providers, CE manufacturers, content owners, PC OEMs and developers with a powerful solution to drive revenue from over-the-top (OTT) storefronts and cloud-based entertainment. RES combines Rovi's award-winning guidance and connectivity capabilities with a robust interactive advertising footprint, as well as our extensive entertainment metadata library. With Rovi Entertainment Store, you can quickly launch OTT storefronts that help consumers discover, purchase, manage and enjoy entertainment on multiple platforms and connected devices.

Today's consumers prefer to manage their TV shows and movies in their own cloud-based libraries—and buy, store and access their entertainment quickly and easily. RES allows you to quickly and easily meet those consumer needs. Available as a comprehensive end-to-end solution or as a customizable suite of cloud-based APIs, Rovi Entertainment Store supports a wide range of devices, including connected TVs, set-top boxes, game consoles, Blu-ray® Disc players, PCs, tablets and smartphones, and other mobile devices.
