HALIFAX, July 11, 2024 /CNW/ - Eastlink announced the launch of its new
iPad application today, TotalGuide xD. The new application, powered by
Rovi (NASDAQ: ROVI), personalizes the guide experience.
"We continuously talk to our customers about what they want and need,"
said Eastlink CEO Lee Bragg. "They've told us that they are looking for
products that make their lives easier; this is designed to do exactly
that."
Building on its innovative Eastlink Remote DVR service released just last month, Eastlink's TotalGuide xD iPad app is
a free and convenient way for viewers to browse TV listings, explore
programs, find what to watch, personalize the guide, and remotely
schedule recordings for viewing at a later time and date — directly
from their iPad tablets.
TotalGuide xD is an iOS app available on the iTunes App Store free of
charge for Eastlink customers, and is available in English and French.
Eastlink's new TotalGuide xD iPad application gives customers a
personalized guide experience with:
-
an easy-to-use design specifically created for iPad
-
intuitive search to find favorite shows, movies and celebrities with
rich content and graphics
-
the ability to review channel listings, view program information, and
see recommendations for other programs including the ability to set
recordings for these programs on their DVR whenever their iPad is
connected to the internet
"By powering Eastlink's Remote DVR service and TotalGuide xD, Rovi is
helping Eastlink deliver next-generation video services to their
customers with the convenience of using mobile devices to access a more
enjoyable entertainment experience," said Bob Shallow, SVP, Product
Sales & Marketing at Rovi. "TotalGuide xD brings a more personalized
search and discovery experience to consumers — making it easier for
them to connect to, discover and enjoy their favorite programming."
