OpenTV Corp. (NASDAQ GM: OPTV), a leading provider of solutions for advanced digital television, and Silicon & Software Systems Ltd. (S3), a world leader in Connected Consumer Technology solutions, today announced their further collaboration in enabling the rapid deployment of HD, PVR, and IPTV set-top box (STB) solutions. These solutions will be showcased at the 2007 International CES Show in Las Vegas.

S3 recently extended its coLinkTVTM adaptation software product to support OpenTV's IPTV functionality, delivering a major competitive advantage to manufacturers and operators wishing to deploy interactive STBs and PVRs. OpenTV has engaged S3 to integrate its Core2? and PVR2? middleware with S3's coLinkTV on advanced IPTV set-top boxes. This IPTV solution will be demonstrated on an Amino A13x STB at CES.

coLinkTV delivers STB manufacturers and pay TV operators the key adaptation software required to rapidly deploy secure, interactive, high definition STB and PVR solutions for cable, satellite, terrestrial and IPTV networks. It provides a key porting layer between the OpenTV middleware and STMicroelectronics' STi71xx and STi51xx processor families, enabling rapid deployment of STBs. coLinkTV provides a flexible architecture that significantly reduces manufacturers' development costs and risks while providing a fast path to OpenTV certification. In addition, the product has been proven with industry leading conditional access systems. coLinkTV is already in use by a number of STB manufacturers in deployed, OpenTV-enabled networks.

"The extension of the coLinkTVTM product to include IPTV functionality offers a significant competitive advantage to our STB and PVR customers," commented Paul Kavanagh, Digital Consumer Marketing Manager, S3. "S3's further collaboration with OpenTV, as the technology leaders in advanced DTV services, demonstrates our commitment to the continuous development of innovative product solutions for this marketplace.?

According to Tracy Geist, SVP of Marketing at OpenTV, "OpenTV helps springboard operators into the world of IPTV, changing the way users watch television and traditional program guides to a more demand- and user-driven experience. OpenTV continues to work closely with S3 as they consistently deliver high quality, innovative solutions and they have a strong knowledge of our products.?
