Because of this the version from the Mac App Store supports only certain tizi devices:
The amount of disk space you need for your recodings depends on the used video. A one hour recording has an approximately size of 1.6 GB.
Check out the Digital Television Map to get an idea of which channels you'll be able to pick up.
All recordings are saved as MPEG-2 in tizi.tv and can be opened and viewed in QuickTime, VLC media player or Handbrake . We don't use an own, proprietary format. You can share your recordings (via Vimeo, Messages, AirDrop, Email and Facebook) or export them to MP4 to use them in iMovie.
In order to send your TV picture wirelessly to your device, tizi needs to transmit a fairly large amount of data across its wireless network. For optimal performance you should place tizi away from other wireless devices.
When you turn tizi on, it tries to find a wifi channel that isn't being used. If it can't find an empty channel, tizi will share a wifi channel with other devices. If you notice performance issues with your other devices, try placing tizi further away from other wireless devices, or try choosing a different wireless network channel on your wifi router or Apple Airport Base station. Check your wireless base station's manual for details.
tizi.tv supports OS X – macOS Sierra.
The bluetooth and wifi chips on the iPad and iPhone share a single antenna. So if you're using bluetooth headphones, your wifi performance will not be as good. This isn't noticeable if you're just surfing the web, as that only requires a small amount of data. But a TV signal requires a lot more data, so you may start seeing performance issues.
We currently don't recommend using bluetooth devices while using tizi.
On our website www.tizi.tv you will find TV receivers for your Mac to receive digital TV on your computer.
Yes, if you have an Apple TV and an iOS device, you can watch your recordings or live TV with AirPlay Mirroring!
You will need a strong network connection to allow it to work smoothly. Connecting your Apple TV via an ethernet cable is usually best for this.
For tizi:
Set up tizi so that it's set to tizi@Home mode which you can find instructions on how to do here. Connect tizi to the same network that your Apple TV is connected to, choose your channel and turn on Mirroring over AirPlay.
So for example, once you've picked your channel on tizi.tv on your iPhone, double click the iPhone's home button, swipe twice on the row of apps to go left past the music controls and tap the AirPlay button.
If you can't seem to find any channels in the same place you used to find lots then it may be worth just resetting the app. To do this:
- Please quit the app entirely by double clicking the home button, holding down on the tizi icon and pressing the red 'X' that appears.
- Then go to the 'Settings' app on the iPad
- Scroll down to tizi.tv > Reset App and Reset EPG > ON (both).
- Then reset your tizi as well by poking a paperclip in the little hole on its side.
