ntl and set-top-box middleware provider Liberate have signed a new long-term licensing deal.

The new agreement will see Liberate continuing to provide its TV Navigator middleware for use in ntl's digital cable set-top-boxes.

"We are pleased to renew our commitment to Liberate," said ntl's Director of TV, David Thatcherson. "With Liberate, we are positioned to effectively compete with satellite in multiple services across multiple platforms."

The middleware provides software support for interactive services, an interactive EPG, and digital video recorder (DVR) capabilities. ntl does not use the DVR functionality at this time.

"We are excited that ntl, the UK leader in digital cable services, has selected our technology platform," said David Lockwood, Chairman and CEO of Liberate. "The partnership between ntl and Liberate is an important step in our drive to establish Liberate as the leader in software for digital cable systems."
