A system and a method for accessing an electronic program guide (EPG) and media content from multiple locations using mobile devices. The media content is available from a content provider via a first network. The system and the method have a first terminal that may be located in a first location or in a second location. The terminal displays, accesses and/or connects to EPG for identifying and/or for accessing the media content. The first location or the second location of the first terminal is identified and/or is determined by the EPG and/or a second terminal in communication with the first terminal and/or the EPG. The first terminal accesses the EPG to identify a first list of media content or a second list of media content which may be consumed by the first terminal in the first location or the second location, respectively. The media content is restricted and/or is supplemented based on the first location or the second location of the first terminal. The first terminal consumes media content from the first list or the second list of media content in the first location or the second location, respectively.

A system and a method control and/or manage metadata of multimedia. The metadata is information and/or is data relating to, based on and/or associated with the multimedia. The metadata of the multimedia is accessed, is identified and/or is transferred to one or more terminals independently with respect to the multimedia, a content service associated with the multimedia and/or a media store. The system and the method organize, control and/or manage one or more subscriptions to one or more content services and/or media stores. The system and the method change between one or more content services and/or one or more media stores to transfer the metadata to and/or from one or more users and/or a source independently and/or separately from the multimedia. The system and the method procures, obtains, accesses and shares the metadata with the multimedia, the content service, the one or more users, the source and/or a provider. As a result, the metadata of the multimedia is portable with respect to one or more users, one or more terminals, the source, the provider and/or the content service. The users share, transfer, transmit and/or access the metadata via databases, terminals, servers and/or networks independent and/or separately with respect to the multimedia.
