This is not the first time we've talked about the iPad as a remote control for a television. And it is that having two screens to watch television and know the contents at the same time It is a great utility for control programming without missing any content, even more so when we talk about smart TVs Loewe and its application Assist Media, which allows us to use the tablet ofApple as a remote control, a contents guideand many more options.
This is a extremely complete application that can boast of making the most of the relationship between television smart from the German brand and the Cupertino device, and it goes far beyond what is seen in other applications where, apart from change channels and control the volume, little else can be done. In this case Assist Media supports other Loewe television utilities such as controlling the program recording function, programming, and more. All this through a tool with a elegant design that allows us to see all the contents on the screen and with perfect legibility.
The operation of the application is very simple, and it only needs one configuration previous to be able to link the tablet with the TVThis is possible when both devices are connected to the same Internet network Of course, we must make sure that our television Loewe is LED and is 32 inches or larger, and that its setting in the Media or System menu Network allows you to connect to Internet With this, all that remains is to start the application so that thelink is automatically created when it finds the TV connected on the same network.
As of this moment Assist Media is now available for use, although you may need to several minutes to load all the contents such as the EPG guide With this application we can control the television as if it were a remote control , allowing us to change the channel, the volume, apply zoom, switch to radio or even scroll through teletext But what is really useful is being able to consult the programming guide or EPG, where we can not only know what the next broadcast is, but we have summaries and detailed information about the program, the film or the contest. Also, if we select content as favorites, we can switch from one to another just by touching them.
And there is more. With this application we can control the recording system of the televisions Loewe Thus, just by pressing the record button stores what is being played on the hard drive. In addition, we can program this function to record at a specific time, although it is necessary for both devices to be active at that time. Finally, Assist Media also offers us complete control of MediaNet, the intelligent service of Loewe where you can consult our social networks, access applications ,etc.
It is therefore not surprising that this application has been awarded the Red Dot award: the best of the best for its design and functionality Best of all, Assist Media is fully downloadable free at via App Store
