MauveTelly is not just another app for the Roku streamer and Roku TV*. Like many other similar apps, MauveTelly acts as a replacement remote control for your Roku devices. Unlike many other similar apps, support for the Roku TV has not been added as an afterthought. Indeed, MauveTelly is first and foremost an app for the Roku TV. If, like me, you use your Roku TV to watch live broadcasts, then MauveTelly is a must-have app. Here are some of the features: • Quick access to live broadcast channels by name and number (TV only) • Full support for the TV-specific buttons including the Freeview coloured buttons (TV only) • Quick access to apps (also known as Roku channels) • Ergonomic, fully-accessible user interface • 100% free * Note: MauveTelly was specifically designed for Roku TVs manufactured for use in the UK. Some features of MauveTelly may be incompatible with TVs manufactured for other regions.
