Jackson Energy Authority is recognized for its TiVo® rollout in Jackson, TN
Jackson Energy Authority was recently honored at the Cablefax Top Ops TV Innovation Summit in New
York. JEA was recognized as the winner of the Independent Project Launch of the Year Award for its
TiVo® rollout in Jackson, TN.
“Cablefax: The Magazine is pleased to recognize Jackson Energy Authority with its Independent Project
Launch of the Year for its TiVo integration project. This small operator made delivering TiVo through its
set-tops a priority and has served as an evangelist for the solution, showing other small operators the
benefits of the technology," said Cablefax editorial director Amy Maclean.
Jackson Energy Authority launched its TiVo solution, branded VU-IT!, on its EPlus Broadband cable
system in April 2016. TiVo is a set top box EPlus Broadband customers can add to their cable
subscription offering an even better TV experience for digital home entertainment.
Clint Lee, Headend Manager for the telecom division at JEA noted, “TiVo is the TV watching solution that
allows viewers to find anything fast. Customers can record 6 shows at once and easily navigate and
access online video apps like Netflix, Opera TV, Hulu, YouTube and more from their TiVo remote.”
With JEA, customers enjoy an extraordinary level of service and value combined with the convenience of
getting all their utility and broadband services from one local company.
“Our telecom division here at JEA works hard every day to bring customers reliable services they can
count on, says Ben Lovins, Senior Vice President of Telecommunications at JEA. “The TiVo VU-IT! product
we launched recently allowed us to offer our customers an even better option for watching TV and
accessing online content from their remote.”
A pioneer in the fiber-to-the-home market, Jackson Energy Authority has offered cable TV, Internet and
