Comcast and Liberty Global will use Metrological-developed open-source browser enhancements for set-top boxes, Metrological said in a Thursday news release. The Metrological enhancements will be part of the Reference Design Kit (RDK) software stack used by pay TV. The browser software will allow better rendering of HTML5 apps and next-generation user interfaces across set-tops, Metrological said. Liberty Global plans to use the Metrological software for its RDK-based Horizon TV platform, while Comcast plans to test the set-top box browser software on its RDK-based X1 platform, Metrological said.
