Watch TV on your Android device without using your data allowance

Even better is that AndroiDTV doesn’t use your mobile data plan allowance. The TV Tuner and aerial built into AndroiDTV picks up the DVB-T Freeview TV signal, never using your 3G data allowance.

How To Use Your PCTV Systems AndroiDTV

The TVCentre for Android app (available from the Google Play store) has a built in EPG (Electronic Program Guide) so you can plan or schedule TV recordings onto your mobile device. Or use the EPG just to check what’s on Freeview TV next.

TV in your pocket

Take the PCTV Systems AndroiDTV 78e with you wherever you go and have TV in your pocket. Connect and catch up on your favourite TV shows when you are out and about or watch something you have pre-recorded. It’s up to you.

The Technology

PCTV Systems AndroiDTV uses the latest and best quality TV tuner chip technology to ensure crystal clear images and the best signal reception, even in remote locations. The latest technology allows PCTV Systems AndroiDTV to only measure 33mm (L) x 10mm (D) and 29mm (W) so it’s small enough to take anywhere. This state of the art technology also ensures quick channel changes and easy navigation through the settings, channel listings and on screen help menus.

Use the PCTV 78e on Windows, too!

The PCTV 78e can also be used on a Windows PC. We include the latest TVCenter application for Windows 8 and 7. A USB adapter cable is also provided so you can plug the 78e into a standard USB port on a laptop or desktop PC.
