Atlanta, Georgia, February 28, 2011—During informal polling of CableLabs® Winter Conference attendees Monday, TVPlus, a product of Spot411 Technologies, was named the best new idea most likely to succeed in the cable market place. The company displayed audio recognition technology to allow any Internet-enabled device with a microphone to automatically identify a television program or movie that is currently on TV.

The technology demonstration was part of the Innovation Showcase segment of the winter conference. The showcase contained 11 companies each of which had 10 minute to explain their innovative solutions and then demonstrate the technology.
