Rovi bolsters media guide with content from 15 new providers

Digital technology firm Rovi has beefed up its European next generation media guide by adding online content from 15 individual providers across the UK, Germany and France.

Rovi is working with broadcasters such as ZDF, Five, ARD-Tagesschau, Das Vierte, NRJ-12, Arte, Bibel TV; and IP-based TV services such as golfdigital.tv, Berlin Fashion TV and Freshmilk TV.

Corey Ferengul, Rovi Corporations’ executive vice president of product management and marketing, said: “The global marketplace is growing for consumer electronic devices with direct access to media from many sources, including the internet. The current environment is complex for consumers.

“Rovi’s TotalGuide can be a destination where consumers will find this confusion simplified. Consumers will be able to access media from multiple sources and devices, streamlining their digital home experience. We’re excited to be able to deliver this new consumer experience by working closely with content providers.”
