Connect your iPhone or iPad to the same Wi-Fi network as your TV. 2. Tune in to a channel that offers HbbTV MediaSync or private listening. 3. Open the app, allow access to the local network and pick your TV from the list of detected devices. 4. Choose the audio, video or experience you want and enjoy it in sync. Universal MediaSync is an open-source initiative maintained by the HbbTV community: a single companion app for every broadcaster that wants to offer second-screen experiences, with no need to build a dedicated app. Note: requires a compatible HbbTV television and a channel with MediaSync enabled, both connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
