  Provides UK users with new one-touch-recording (OTR), Home Network, and Social Networking features

Motive has today released the first update to TabletTV in the United Kingdom, containing new capabilities and improved performance. The new version 2.0 has been submitted to the Apple App Store for review and is expected to be available to TabletTV UK customers in about a week.

TabletTV UK 2.0 is available without additional cost to users who signed up for TabletTV using either the mains or portable tuners. As promised, it adds several importantfunctionalities to TabletTV in the United Kingdom, among them one-touch-recording (OTR), Home Network, and Social Networking.

OTR makes it possible for users to interrupt their viewing and watch the rest of the programme when time permits or to record a programme or movie for a later time. Time shifting is among the most highly valued viewing functionson main TVs and is now available on tablets.

The new Home Network feature allows the TTV user to pair his TabletTV tuner with his home WiFi signal and then be able to receive both over-the-air TV signals as well as the internet simultaneously. In addition to being able to receive the TabletTV signal anywhere that the home WiFi signal extends without moving the tuner, Home Network permits easy switching back and forth between watching and recording Freeview channels on the tablet and surfing the net or doing emails. Additionally, the Home Network feature makes it easy to usethe third new feature, to use social networks and chat while viewing favourite programmes and movies.

TabletTV UK 2.0 is an important milestone and more are in preparation. Among the next updates will be the release of TabletTV Europe that will allow the use of TabletTV in continental Europe, the addition of Google Chromecast capability to cast a programme to the main TV, and the extension of TabletTV UK to Android devices.
