Gemstar TV has licensed its technology to three German-based consumer electronics companies. The multi-year agreements with Loewe Opta, Metz-Werke and Kathrein-Werke will see TV Guide’s licensed intellectual property deployed in each of the company’s televisions, digital video recorders and set-top boxes.
Gemstar has previously made a number of agreements with local broadcasters to transmit its programming information to the embedded EPG. These include Sky Italia, Spain’s Veo TV and YooMedia in the UK.
