Macrovision’s Guide Daily to Be Deployed in SANYO’s Digital TVs

Macrovision Solutions Corporation (NASDAQ:MVSN), a digital entertainment technology leader, announced today that it has signed a licensing agreement with SANYO Manufacturing Corporation, allowing Macrovision’s Guide Daily to be incorporated into SANYO’s digital TV product line. Guide Daily is a version of Macrovision’s full-scale interactive program guide (IPG), designed to help consumers navigate, sort, select, and schedule television programming.

SANYO will deploy Guide Daily into its flat panel TV product for its value line of digital televisions to be available early this year through Walmart. The new television offers a USB Photo Viewer and many additional advanced features.

"Our televisions are among the most frequently purchased brands in America, and are known for their high-quality craftsmanship,” said Joji Suwa, President, SANYO Manufacturing Corporation. "By integrating Macrovision’s Guide Daily into our flat panel TV product line, we’re aiming to provide a simple end user experience to discover, manage and enjoy digital content.”

"IPGs are the single most used feature in the nation and in a recent study, 80 percent of viewers describe the IPG as a necessity for viewing while for 74 percent of viewers, it is the first screen they choose to see when they turn on their television,” said Tom Carson, executive vice president, sales and services. "Through our relationship with SANYO, we are dedicated to helping maximize the television experience of SANYO’s loyal customers.”

Macrovision’s Guide Daily features 24 hours of program listings that populate quickly, providing an optimal viewing experience. Guide Daily’s listings include full program descriptions, ratings and HD icons denoting shows broadcast in high definition. The guide provides listings data for antenna, cable and satellite services and requires no phone connection, as the listings data arrives daily, via an over-the-air signal.
