Optimum

Enhance your TV viewing experience with Optimum, a versatile tool that turns your Android smartphone into an additional television within your home. Connect effortlessly through your home network to access live TV channels directly on your device, bringing the comfort of mobile television viewing to your fingertips.

The application extends your watching capabilities, offering both Live TV and On Demand viewing. Enjoy real-time broadcasting across all your channels, or dive into a vast library of movies and shows whenever you wish. With user-friendly navigation and a 'What's On Now' guide, you can easily see what's currently airing. The integrated keypad allows you to directly tune into your desired channel.

Optimum delivers a personalized entertainment experience with recommendations based on your interests, which are refined by your ratings on movies and programs. With filters available for free titles, premium subscription content, or 'Last Chance' offerings, the app caters to a variety of preferences. Parental controls are in place to ensure that content viewing aligns with your family's needs.

This platform doubles as a comprehensive TV guide with listings tailored to your area and favorite channel filters. It marks out your favorite channels and even allows filtering for HD channels or those included in your subscription.

Additionally, the built-in remote control functionality transforms your device into a convenient hub for your digital cable boxes. Multi-Room DVR setups are supported, and DVR management is simplified, with capabilities to schedule, view, and delete recordings.

A smart search feature lets you find content by keyword, title, cast, or category, across current programming, On Demand, and DVR content. The system remembers your preferred WiFi hotspots for automatic device sign-in, facilitating a smooth transition between connections.

The functionality is tailored to match your specific video subscription service, with features that align with your current package. Emphasizing user-centric design, settings for closed captioning are included, reinforcing parental control practices consistent with your digital cable box.

Please note that a subscription to Optimum Online is required for DVR management and best performance is achieved with an Optimum-provided modem on a secure wireless home network. The service complements your existing video subscription, adding convenience without duplicating available content such as Pay-Per-View and digital music, which remain inaccessible through the app at this time.
