Flixster today announced its popular movie application will be
available this year on Panasonic’s line of VIERA Connect ™ devices
including HDTVs and Blu-ray players. By simply launching this new
Flixster app, consumers will be able to watch and enjoy their
UltraViolet movies and TV shows from the comfort of their living
room.
Flixster is currently the leading movie discovery application on
mobile platforms with over 50 million downloads to date, including
Android, Blackberry and iPad, and ranks among the most downloaded
of iPhone apps of all time. Flixster provides access to
UltraViolet, a new industry standard that gives consumers greater
flexibility with how and where they watch the movies and TV shows
they purchase. UltraViolet also allows consumers to share their
entire UltraViolet digital library with other members on their
account, and they can even watch the same title simultaneously from
different locations.
“Bringing UltraViolet to the living room will make it easy for
consumers to enjoy their UltraViolet-enabled movies and TV shows,”
said Steve Polsky, President of Flixster. “One of the great
benefits of UltraViolet is the ability to watch your content
whenever and wherever you want. If you’re at a friend’s house with
a VIERA device, you can easily access your collection by simply
logging into Flixster.”
VIERA Connect is Panasonic’s Smart TV platform which enables
owners of VIERA Connect-enabled HDTVs, Blu-ray Disc Players and
Home Theater Systems access to a wide range of internet-based
video-on-demand content and applications covering everything from
news and fitness, to social networking and online gaming. VIERA
Connect requires no external box or PC and is accessed via a single
button on the television remote control.
“Panasonic’s VIERA ConnectTM Smart TV platform’s singular focus
to deliver to our consumers an extremely robust and interactive
connected TV experience that can be customized and enjoyed on their
large-screen HDTVs. We are delighted to add Flixster to our VIERA
Connect Smart TV platform in 2012,” said Merwan Mereby, Panasonic’s
Vice President of Interactive Content & Services. “Partnering
with a Hollywood powerhouse like Warner Bros. Entertainment to
integrate their highly popular Flixster movie application into our
VIERA Connect platform is another great step in our efforts to
continuously drive the connected TV experience to a whole new level
for consumers.”
