Breaking News: Cable operators deploying SeaChange's VOD system with Motorola set-top boxes are now able to offer cable companies the Promptu navigation service from AgileTV.

Readers of this blog read of Agile's voice activated navigation last month after they received another round of funding.

AgileTV was founded in April 2000 and is privately held. The company is based in Menlo Park, California. The company's major equity holders include Valence Capital Management LP, Insight Communications, Lauder Partners and private investors.

Hillcrest announced that it will compete with a different form of VOD navigation. Hillcrest, like AgileTV, is a well funded navigation company without customers and reporting that it will soon deliver product.
