(LBTYA)      to Neutral based on our view that the company is gradually      establishing its strong foothold in the European cable MSO      market. Though the companys second quarter of 2012 financial      results fell below the Zacks Consensus Estimates, Liberty      Global added a net 364,000 organic revenue generating units,      up by a whopping 61% year over year. Despite the fact that      the companys second quarter always remains seasonally weak,      operating metrics appeared strong.    <\/p>\n<p>      We believe the long-term business fundamental of the company      is very intriguing, primarily due to strong demand for its      digital cable TV service, faster broadband, and triple-play      bundled offerings. Chellomedia, the international content      division of Liberty Global, recently completed two vital      deals.    <\/p>\n<p>      Chellomedia has bought 13 movie channels of      Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studio Inc. in Europe, the Middle East,      and Latin America. It also acquired the remaining 50% stake      of its MGM Latin America venture and the remaining 49% stake      of its MGM Central Europe venture. The second deal was the      extension of its existing relationship with CBS Corp. (CBS).    <\/p>\n<p>      Liberty Global has recently launched a hybrid IP video      gateway called Horizon TV in the Netherlands. This      innovative IP gateway will combine cable operators video      services with web-based content through an integrated cable      modem. Horizon runs on Atom CE processor of Intel Corp. (INTC).    <\/p>\n<p>      The new web-based hybrid modem includes an open software      developer platform and application store. Furthermore,      customers can share TV showing in multiple screens such as      computers, Apple Inc. (AAPL)      developed iPhones and iPads. Horizon TV also features an      in-build application store for YouTube, Wikipedia and      Facebook. This service will be extended in Switzerland,      Germany, and Ireland within the next 3-6 months.    <\/p>\n<p>            Read the Full Research Report on AAPL    <\/p>\n<p>            Read the Full Research Report on LBTYA    <\/p>\n<p>            Read the Full Research Report on CBS    <\/p>\n<p>            Zacks Investment Research    <\/p>\n<p>      More From Zacks.com<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Continue reading here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/liberty-global-upgraded-neutral-174427047.html;_ylt=A2KJNTt6ylxQzDEAi9T_wgt.\" title=\"Liberty Global Upgraded to Neutral\">Liberty Global Upgraded to Neutral<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> We upgrade our recommendation on Liberty Global Inc.
