“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.
