After this, we will directly access the main screen of the application:
In it we have the television grid at the moment that we are viewing the content of the app. We will see the time at the top of the screen and the list of programs that are being broadcast at that moment, on all DTT channels.
We can sort the contents by pressing the « FILTER » button that we see in the upper right part of the screen and thus be able to obtain a list of programs according to what we want to see or search for.We can configure this filtering through social variables, located in « ORDER BY: «, and by types of programs in the option « FILTER PRO: «.
Returning to the main screen, we can see the programming broadcast on the channels at a certain time, by scrolling in the part where the time appears. By setting the time, we can see the programs that will be broadcast on all available channels at that time determined by us.
If we want to know about the programs that follow those that are being broadcast on any of the channels, we simply have to scroll to the channel we want. We will move the program that is being broadcast to the left and the one that will replace it in the future will appear.
focusing on the information that we can see in each program that appears in the interface, we can say the following:
- We will be able to see its broadcast time. We can see this under the photo of the program.
- Know how long it has been broadcast. We love this icon. It is a circle that appears on the right side of the broadcast time and that fills in as it is broadcast. At a glance we can see what remains of the program.
- How many TOCKIT friends are watching the show. This can be seen in the icon, characterized by a smiley, that we have in the information that appears to the right of the photo of the program.
- How many chats are open related to the broadcast of the program. We will see the number of chas opened by TOCKIT users related to the program in question. We will see this reflected in the icon in the form of a "speech bubble".
- We will see the content that the program generates on TWITTER. Hashtag, users, all of this will appear in the twitter icon that appears. To see this content we must click on the program in question.
By pressing one of the programs, we will access more specific information about it:
Going back to the main screen, at the bottom we have a submenu with which we can:

HOW TO USE THIS APP FOR TV:
The use we can make of this application is very varied:
- We can use it as mere information about what is broadcast on the television schedule.
- We can use it to interact and exchange opinions about the programs being broadcast.
- We can use it both ways.
By clicking on the programs, some options will appear with which we can:
If we use it as information to know the programs that are being broadcast on DTT, we can use an ALERT option. If, for example, I want to watch a program that is broadcast at a certain time, I can make the iPhone notify me to watch it. This is configured by searching for the program, clicking on it and selecting the option “ ALERT”.
Then you will configure at what time you want the terminal to notify you about its broadcast.
If you also want to use this app for tv as a social application in which to comment on the programs, say that once you register on the platform, you will be able to access the chats and even create your own chats in which to talk.This is done by clicking on the program you want and pressing the option « NEW CHAT «.
From there, you can configure different aspects of the chat.
We also have the option « NOTICE» with which you can notify your TOCKIT, FACEBOOK and TWITTER contacts that you are about to watch a specific TV program.
The option « NOTIFY THEM » gives us the option to notify certain contacts that we have added to the app.
In the upper right part we have the "INFO" option with which we will access specific information about the program in question.
We return to the main screen to explain what the “v” icon that appears in red on the image of the programs means. This means that we have some active action in the channel, be it a chat, an alert
When belonging to a chat, every time they speak in it, a notification will appear to let us know that someone has spoken in it. If you want to get out of a chat, we must access the channel in which we are immersed in the chat and press the "x" that appears on the left side of it:

CONCLUSION:
An app for TV that has surprised us and takes the concept of SOCIAL TV to a new horizon.
We love the idea of watching a show and interacting with users interested in the same show as you. It seems to us a complementary way of watching TV and that we recommend you try.
