Motive completes integration of Google Cast™ into TabletTV US Apps
Today, Motive Television PLC (AIM: MTV) announces updates to the TabletTV US Apps that will allow TabletTV users who own a Chromecast to cast what they are viewing on their tablets directly to their home TV screen. The new app updates are available free from today to TabletTV US users at the Apple and Google Play™ app stores respectively.
In addition, app update 3.36.1 for iPads contains firmware update 2.18 for the TPod that improves WiFi performance and a number of bug fixes.
Leonard M Fertig, CEO of Motive commented, "The ability to share a movie or TV program with the family by casting it to the large screen is a very attractive feature that Motive wants to make available to our users. We are pleased to have successfully integrated the Google Cast capability into the TabletTV US apps and extend TabletTV™ to the large screen. This is particularly attractive to cord cutters as well who might watch broadcast network TV on their television."
