Easy, comfortable cloud-based IPTV services for the whole family to enjoy
Some people think that IPTV looks interesting, "but it's probably complicated", or that they're "not very good with computers".
It's true that no matter how many great applications IPTV has, the number of users will be limited if its operation is complicated.
Panasonic firmly believes that TV has to be easy to use because it's used by the whole family.
That's why we offer a 'Cloud-Based IPTV Service' with ordinary remote control operation and even more intuitive interfaces.
That's the Panasonic Viera Connect difference.
