Second, we continued to increase our footprint both internationally and domestically, forging important new operator deals with Com Hem, Cable ONE, Midcontinent, Mediacom, and GCI. Third, we saw significant additional upside from litigation as we reached a favorable settlement with Verizon, bringing total damages and consideration from our intellectual property actions to more than $1 billion to date.

Lastly, we continued to define the future of television through the launch of new whole-home and multi-screen TiVo offerings.”
