Panasonic Viera TV customers can upgrade their IPTV service following the company’s upgrade to its Viera Connect platform in Australia.
The upgrade adds social media such as Facebook, more on-demand television content, including ABC iView, a range of interactive games such as Solitaire, Poker, and Blackjack and access to the Viera application market to all 2010 Panasonic Viera models with IPTV functionality – VT20, V20, D25, and S25 models.
