Not only is it an attractive and functional interface, the operating system arrives renewed, and the new models will bring interesting functions, another important aspect is the TV Everywhere, with which the Smart TV will function as a streaming server, with which we can enjoy content from the antenna on another television that acts as a client without having the connection to the antenna cable. And without problem we can watch a channel on one television and another channel on another television without one of the two needing an antenna connection! However, with this same system our smartphone can become another television thanks to the application Panasonic Media Center that from April will be available for Android and IOs and with which we can watch TV wherever we are.
