I'm thinking of an app for Samsung SmartTV which, besides other information, displays the currently running TV program. Since I haven't found any documentation about accessing and displaying the TV program inside of an app, I was wondering if this is even possible. Has anybody further information?
Thanks, Markus
Yes, it is possible to show TV signal inside your SmartTv application. Guide to do that can be found here: http://www.samsungdforum.com/Guide/tec00103/index.html
However, make sure you read the note at the end of that guide. Mixing TV signal and app content needs approval from broadcasters, which can result in locking your app for only a specific TV channel. It goes the same for ticker applications.
