OK opens the channel list over the picture without stopping it; hold OK to add a favorite. If you like, Zapvo even starts with the channel you watched last. - Works with every Android TV remote - Channel numbers and the last channel button - The picture keeps playing while you browse - Clear focus, no lost cursor ## A guide made for ten feet away The program grid shows several hours across all your channels. Move through time and channels with the arrows, open a past program from the archive, or set a reminder for one that's coming up. ## Four channels, one screen Multiview puts up to four live channels on your TV at once. The window you choose plays the sound; the others keep running quietly. Zapvo checks what your TV can decode and never asks for more. ## No more typing with the remote Long playlist addresses and passwords are a pain on a TV. Scan the code on the screen and type them on your phone instead, or add a playlist file straight from the phone. ## Fast on modest TV boxes Many TV boxes have 1 or 2 GB of memory.
