Rovi Showcases Solutions for Highly Personalized Entertainment Experiences Virtually Anywhere at The Cable Show 2012

Rovi Technologies Drive Advanced Discovery, Video Delivery and Advertising Across Home and Mobile Platforms for Cable Operators

Boston, MA(21 May 2012)

This week at The Cable Show, Rovi Corporation (Nasdaq:ROVI)
will premiere new technology innovation and market collaborations that
are enabling cable service providers to bring cutting-edge and dynamic
entertainment experiences to their subscribers across a range of home
and mobile screens. As part of the event, Rovi will be demonstrating
its latest lineup of solutions -- including TotalGuide(TM), DivX(R)
Plus Streaming and the Rovi Advertising Network -- that are enriching
the discovery, delivery and enjoyment of cable services on broadly
deployed set-top boxes and next-generation platforms as well as tablets
and smartphones.

As part of its commitment to drive innovative technologies and
services, Rovi is showcasing its Rovi Cloud Services APIs and Developer
Portal as sponsorship of Imagine Park's Imagine App Challenge, a
student competition taking place during The Cable Show. Participating
students will be able to use Rovi Cloud Service APIs and Rovi Developer
Portal to develop a winning media, entertainment, or communications
application for the cable industry.

Demonstrations at the Rovi Booth and throughout The Cable Show include:

Discovery:


 --  Speech enhanced discovery capability - Through the new initiative
     announced today with Nuance Communications, Rovi will demonstrate new
     building blocks for speech and audio recognition as part of the
     discovery experience. (See press release, "Rovi and Nuance to Advance
     Voice Activated Guidance and Content Discovery")

 --  TotalGuide Solution will be demonstrated on Pace's next-generation
     Multi-tuner Video Gateway for "home content sharing" featuring Whole
     Home DVR and IP connectivity. Rovi TotalGuide on Pace's platform is
     designed to provide a common user experience across multiple platforms
     enabling consumers seamless access to digital content while also giving
     operators more choice on how to implement content sharing and IP
     capabilities in their infrastructure. (See press release, "Rovi
     TotalGuide Solution Debuts in Pace Set-Top Boxes")

 --  TotalGuide for Set-top Box enables service providers to offer
     subscribers a visually rich user experience and engaging new user
     interface to connect with a cable operator's On Demand library. The
     solution, designed for integration into broadly deployed set-top boxes,
     provides a robust feature set that includes integrated search,
     recommendations and continuous "six degrees" discovery.

 --  As part of its TotalGuide Solution for Service Providers, Rovi will
     demonstrate new features including Mini Guide and an enhanced TV
     Listings user interface that enables service providers to offer a
     seamless discovery experience where content is front and center. Mini
     Guide provides an expanded TV listings view in a smaller visual format
     that allows subscribers to continue to watch programming while they
     navigate additional content. Built upon Rovi's signature recommendations
     technology and six degrees experience, subscribers can view cast and
     crew information as well as receive similar program and movie
     recommendations. The enhancements can be deployed on in-market advanced
     set top boxes (STBs) that currently use Rovi i-Guide.

 --  Rovi Search Service for i-Guide and Passport Guide enables integrated
     search for TV Listings and On Demand content for Rovi customers,
     providing their subscribers with streamlined discovery of entertainment
     content.

 --  Rovi Cloud Services & Rovi Developer Portal provides developers and
     cable providers with the tools and APIs to launch feature-rich TV, movie
     and music entertainment applications and products across multiple
     platforms.

 --  Rovi DTA Guide enables cable operators to create more value for their
     subscribers in the all-digital home, providing a simple yet elegant
     program guide for access to programming, parental controls and language
     support for English and Spanish. The solution will also be demonstrated
     in the Motorola and Pace booths.




Video Delivery:


 --  Video Streaming Capability to TotalGuide xD - Rovi and Azuki Systems, a
     leading provider of advanced multi-screen video delivery solutions to
     any screen over any network, will demonstrate streaming of live TV to
     Rovi's TotalGuide xD for iPad. TotalGuide xD for tablets and smartphones
     is a white label search and discovery and television anytime, anywhere
     platform designed to help cable operators extend their brand and video
     services to the second screen. Rovi is working with Azuki to demonstrate
     video service possibilities for the TotalGuide xD product, and will
     showcase the experience for service providers looking to enhance the
     entertainment experience and drive additional value and revenue through
     advanced multiscreen video and content discovery features across
     platforms.

 --  DivX Plus Streaming provides an end-to-end, secure adaptive streaming
     solution of over-the-top IP content to multiple platforms, providing a
     feature-rich, premium digital entertainment experience with advanced
     multimedia features.

 --  Personal Media Manager is a white-label personal media manager solution
     that enables operators to deliver their customers an easy way to clean,
     stream, manage and consume their personal video, music and photo
     content, regardless of source or location.

 --  Rovi Digital Copy Solution is a flexible solution to help cable
     operators generate new revenue by offering consumers the opportunity to
     access their favorite titles via in-home disc-to-digital redemptions.




Advertising:


 --  Rovi Advertising Network is available across service provider, consumer
     electronics and web platforms, enabling advertisers and networks to
     increase brand awareness through enhanced listings, promotions,
