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 can move, remove or rename stations. #Mediaserver To use this feature, activate in your Metz-TV Menu/Network/Local services 'Allow Mediaplayer' and set 'Media Server' to 'Active'. For best possible usage we recommend to update your Metz TV software. *This app uses VLCkit provided by VideoLAN. VLCKit is under the LGPLv2.1 license.
