UK subscription-free satellite TV service Freesat has boosted its multiscreen capabilities with the launch of an Android version of its Freesat app.
Now available for free download from the Google Play store, the app is designed to allow users to manage and control their TVs via Android mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets as supplied by the likes of Samsung, Google and Sony. It is optimised for the latest Android devices running Android 4.0 and offers the unique Showcase editorial service, which provides daily-curated recommendations on what to watch on both live TV and on-demand. The Android app helps-how to watch, record shows remotely and catch-up on the free TV shows available on Freesat.
Freesat viewers will also be able to register and link the app with their Humax-manufactured Freetime-enabled set-top boxes to take control of their TV viewing both in and out of the home so they can record programmes wherever they are in the UK. The app also works as a remote control so viewers can change channels and watch on-demand programmes via their Freetime-enabled set-top boxes.
"When we launched the Freesat iOS app earlier this year, our focus was to deliver an experience that would be a game changer for free TV viewers and its popularity surpassed our expectations," said Freesatmanaging director Emma Scott commenting on the launch. "Following feedback from some of the over 200,000 people who downloaded the Freesat app, we have worked hard to match that success with an app optimised for the Android market.
