Earlier network-enabled models may vary in compatibility and functionality. The app is not compatible with Metz Blue devices (Metz icon is blue). For best possible usage we recommend to update your TV software.

Internet timer Create records on the go with this smart web-app. Station Editor The fourth function allows you to manipulate your station table. Using the Station Editor you can easily modify your station table with your smartphone and synchronize changes with the TV set. Besides moving, renaming and removing stations from your station table, you can also create and manage all favorite lists by adding or removing stations. Wake On LAN With the fifth function Wake On LAN you can start network devices from standby. With this function you can also wake up every device supporting the Wake On LAN standard, not only Metz TV sets. Useful hints: #Remote Control - In the main view the size of the buttons can be adjusted with two-finger-zoom input. - Pressing the button on the bottom right leads to all buttons, which are not available in the main view. #Station Editor - Synchronizing your modified station table with your TV set overrides its table. It is recommended to create a backup of your station table, using the export functionality of the TV set, to prevent data loss. - Moving stations is triggered by long pressing a station list entry. You can not only move single stations, but multiple selected stations. - Using the additional editing mode (triggered by selecting a station) you move, remove of rename stations. #EPG - Sync your app with the current available EPG events from TV by clicking on 'sync' button/icon in navigation bar. - For recording or reminding choose one single event from the EPG overview. Here you will also find additional program information. - In "settings" you can select a favorite list for your EPG events. - Be sure to connect a storage device for the records. #Wake On LAN - Tapping a list entry send the wake up signal to the corresponding device. - Long pressing an entry allows to edit or remove it. If your device does not respond to the sent wake up signal make sure that your device is a) currently in standby, b) in the right wifi network or c) you entered the MAC address correctly.
