Universal Electronics Inc. (UII) has unveiled a version of the Apple TV remote “specially developed and designed” for cable, satellite, and MVPD (multichannel video program distributor) customers, the company announced.
Remote Bluetooth uses low energy radiation or is infrared to connect with BX, has a microphone for speaking commands with Siri, and its universal remote function allows control of TVs and audio Dio devices from any brand or manufacturer. It has backlight keys, which are activated by an ambient light sensor, a flip button from the channels and a mute button, according to UEI.
“We are excited that customers around the world will soon be able to enjoy this new remote, especially the number of MVPDs offered to their customers,” said Paul Arling, CEO of Universal Electronics.
Universal is not the first company to introduce the Pal TV remote option; Touchpad controls on the original remote proved frustrating for users with standard buttons after Swiss TV and Internet provider Salt developed the remote in collaboration with Remote Pal last year. And the function unveiled its button remote for the Apple Pal TV in July. U.S. It is difficult to buy a model of salt in.
UII’s remote will launch next year, but customers will not be able to purchase the remote directly from Universal. The company plans to sell branded versions of the remote directly through cable companies.
