Metz Remote

MetzRemote is an application designed for Android devices that brings the ease of use associated with Metz televisions to your smartphone or tablet. This app allows users to control their Metz TVs seamlessly, providing a variety of features aimed at enhancing the viewing experience. Users can download MetzRemote to access its functions which cater specifically to the Metz Classic TV models.

The app is compatible with several Metz Classic TV types including the TY, TX, and TW series, which encompass models such as Lunis, Topas, Aurus, Fineo, Alegra, Taris, Cubus, Calea, Micos, Novum, Planea, Pureo, Clarea, Merio Media Z, Solea, Solea pro, and Primus 550. It is important to note that earlier network-enabled models may exhibit varying levels of compatibility and functionality. However, the app does not support Metz Blue devices, which are identifiable by their blue Metz icon. For optimal performance, users are encouraged to keep their TV software updated.

One of the primary features of MetzRemote is its remote control functionality. The app allows users to select from up to 30 TV shortcut functions, making it easy to navigate and access favorite stations. Users can also navigate through stations and favorite lists with a simple click. The app facilitates text input, allowing users to fill out text dialogs on their TV using their mobile device’s keyboard. Additionally, users can save web links and open them directly on their Metz TV.

The Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) is another essential feature provided by MetzRemote. Through the EPG, users can gain an overview of current and future programming from their favorite channels. The app enables users to create records or reminders for specific programs, ensuring they do not miss their preferred shows. By syncing the app with the TV, users can update their EPG events easily.

The media serving capabilities of MetzRemote enhance its functionality further. Users can stream local pictures, videos, and music from their mobile devices directly to their Metz TV. To access this feature, it is necessary to activate the “Allow Mediaplayer” option in the Metz TV menu under Network/Local Services and set the “Media Server” to active. Moreover, the app allows users to watch PVR recordings, live TV, or media from other DLNA servers on their mobile devices.

The Station Editor feature enables users to manipulate their station table efficiently. Users can easily modify their station table using their smartphone, and synchronize these changes with their TV set. This includes moving, renaming, and removing stations, as well as managing favorite lists by adding or removing stations. Long pressing a station entry triggers the move function, allowing for the rearrangement of single or multiple selected stations.

Another useful function is the Wake On LAN feature, which allows users to start network devices from standby. This feature is not limited to Metz TVs; it can also wake up any device that supports the Wake On LAN standard. This functionality is beneficial for users who want to quickly access their devices without needing to manually turn them on.

Users can also utilize the Internet timer feature, which provides a convenient way to create recording schedules while on the go. This feature ensures that users can set their recordings without needing to be physically present in front of their TV.

The app's design facilitates easy navigation and usability. Users can adjust the size of the buttons in the remote control interface through a two-finger zoom input, enhancing accessibility. A button located at the bottom right provides access to additional functions that are not available in the main view.

MetzRemote is a versatile application that combines multiple functionalities into one platform, making it a valuable tool for Metz TV owners. With its extensive range of features including remote control options, EPG access, media streaming, station editing, and network device control, MetzRemote significantly enhances the overall TV viewing experience. By enabling users to interact with their Metz TVs through their mobile devices, the app offers a modern solution for managing entertainment.

For those interested in simplifying their television control and expanding their viewing capabilities, MetzRemote presents a comprehensive solution that connects mobile technology with traditional television viewing. The app serves as a bridge between the user’s mobile device and their Metz TV, making it an essential download for anyone looking to optimize their home entertainment system.
