Rovi TotalGuide Solution Debuts in Pace Set-Top Boxes

Implementation Streamlines Launch of Advanced Discovery Capabilities

Boston, MA(21 May 2012)

Continuing to help cable TV providers introduce their
customers to next generation discovery, Rovi Corporation (Nasdaq:ROVI)
today announced it has launched its Rovi TotalGuide Solution for Pace's
(LSE:PIC) 'Dallas' HD-DVR Set-top box (STB). The implementation on
Dallas HD-DVRs will feature additional enhancements to TotalGuide --
further integration of Rovi's signature recommendations technology and
six degrees discovery -- to deliver a more personalized experience. The
product will provide service providers with the opportunity to work
with Rovi and Pace to quickly deploy the TotalGuide solution on their
current infrastructure, and enable subscribers to enjoy a simplified,
yet effective, discovery experience.

In addition, Rovi will demonstrate pre-porting of TotalGuide onto
Pace's XG1 Multi-tuner Video Gateway at The Cable Show. These latest
developments are proof-points of the continued effort between Pace and
Rovi, following the joint collaboration announced in December 2011, to
launch solutions that bring advanced discovery capability to subscriber
homes today, and further the development of next generation cable ready
devices capable of delivering advanced video services.

Tim O'Loughlin, President of Pace Americas, stated, "Solutions
combining traditional TV, IP-based video and applications are rapidly
becoming a necessity for operators to remain competitive. We greatly
value working with progressive companies such as Rovi and are excited
our partnership will enable the roll out of innovative services
incorporating the very latest technology."

"Our TotalGuide strategy is to create a path that makes it easier for
our customers to launch a better discovery experience in existing and
advanced set-top boxes," said Corey Ferengul, EVP of product management
and strategy at Rovi. "We're working with leaders in the industry, like
Pace, to make it easy for service providers to bring a new generation
of consumer experiences to market."

The Rovi TotalGuide Solution for Service Providers is a broad portfolio
of technology that includes advanced discovery, video delivery and
advertising capabilities for in-market STBs, next generation cable
boxes, tablets and mobile devices.
