INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your iWavit™purchase. The iWavit TV
Pro app is a 2-in-1 TV Listing and Remote Control app that
works together with your iWavit hardware to turn your
iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into:
1. A Universal IR Learning Remote,
and
2. An interactive TV Channel Guide
You can use it together
with the iWavit Basic,
iWavit Premium or
iWavit Blast! products.
Focussing first on the
iWavit Premium and
Basic, they both come
with an iWavit
Attachment. Plug it into
your iDevice and you
will be able to control your
TV and your set-top box much like you would with any
normal Universal IR learning remote control. The iWavit
Blast! is very similar, but it does not require the iWavit
Attachment. Instead it uses the Bluetooth®4.0 RF
iWavit Virtual Remote
technology in the newer iPhone/iPad/iPod models to
communicate to a Bluetooth®Smart iWavit USB dongle
which has an IR blaster. (see www.thinkoptics.com for
more details about all iWavit hardware)
When you launch this app, it will show you a “virtual
remote” which you can use to control your TV, Home
Theater system, and Cable box. You will even be able to
learn IR codes from your old remotes.
This app will also display a
live TV guide that will
display a real-time TV
listing for your specific zip
code and TV Service (for
example, Comcast Digital
Cable in San Jose,
California). It will update
automatically as time goes
by.
The really exciting "magic"
happens when these two
features are combined.
Now you can select a TV
Show in the TV Listings
screen and the app will
automatically change the
channel on your TV or
cable/satellite box. It is
The interactive TV listing
essentially a reinvention of the old Newspaper TV channel
guide.
This app and the iWavit hardware works for ALL TV brands
and ALL TV services (Cable, dish, broadcast over-the-air)
in the United States. The one-time setup is simple and
takes only a few seconds.
As we mentioned, the iWavit Blast! model does not require
an attachment. Instead, when you press a button on your
iPhone, it sends an RF signal from the iPhone to the iWavit
Blast! USB dongle which in turn blasts a powerful IR signals
to control your TV or Cable/SAT box, as shown above. The
iWavit Premium also has an additional iWavit USB Blaster,
but this one does need the iWavit Attachment. This is
because it uses a different ZigbeeRF radio built into the
