Motive Adds Chromecast to TabletTV

DUBLIN -- Motive Television PLC (AIM: MTV), the technology provider to broadcasters and pay television operators, announced today that that following recent meetings and discussions with Google, the Company will begin integrating Google’s Chromecast technology into Motive’s TabletTV apps.

This will make it possible for TabletTV users who have the popular Chromecast thumb-sized media streaming devices to send what they are viewing on their tablets directly to the home TV screen. When using TabletTV and Chromecast, TabletTV users will need to use the Home Network feature.

The new functionality will become available during the next two months via an update to the TabletTV app. This capability will work with the existing apps for iPads as well as the upcoming ones for Android tablets.

Once implemented, TabletTV will be shown on the "Featured" tab on Google’s Chromecast app website. Chromecast.com/apps is one of the first results that show up when users search for Chromecast. Opportunities also exist for the co-promotion and bundling of TabletTV with Chromecast in the future.
