Panasonic has selected Rovi’s multi-platform interactive programme guide, G-Guide xD, for the new version of the Panasonic Media Access mobile app launching this month. With the Panasonic Media Access application powered by G-Guide xD, users of VIERA Smart TVs and DIGA Blu-Ray Recorders now have the ability to discover, record and view entertainment content on their mobile devices. For the first time in Japan, G-Guide xD now includes the ability to search programmes that have previously aired, enabling subscribers to find and watch recorded TV programmes on the app or on TV.
