CommScope is working with Evoca, a live TV service that delivers channels via ATSC 3.0 broadcast technology and streaming, on a new hybrid Android TV set-top box.
CommScope’s new VIP7802-ATSC—which runs Android TV and includes integrated dual multimode ATSC 3.0 and ATSC 1.0 tuners—will be called Pilot by Evoca. In addition to deploying the Pilot set-top box in Evoca markets in early 2022, Evoca said it will offer the Pilot to partner broadcasters and others in ATSC 3.0 markets nationwide.
“Leveraging CommScope’s expertise to develop the innovative VIP7802-ATSC set top solution is enabling Evoca to offer a unique television and entertainment content offering,” said Ken Haase, vice president of product management at CommScope, in a statement. “Evoca will provide their subscribers with a solution that will enhance their viewing experience and will also deliver aggregated streaming content. We are excited to begin this partnership with Evoca.”
