<strong>Rovi</strong> <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Service</strong> is a key component of<br />

When it comes to entertainment, consumers are insatiable. It’s<br />
never about learning one thing; it’s about learning everything:<br />
Which movies star my favorite actor? Who directed that film? Did<br />
critics like it? How can I find its soundtrack? Although in a world<br />
where “Search” is as close as your nearest laptop, smart phone or<br />
mobile device, perhaps the most important question is: Where can<br />
I find what I’m looking for… now?<br />

enhancing entertainment metadata, <strong>Rovi</strong> has the answers to<br />
