There are many users who have one of these two devices at home, either an older Chromecast or the option that already comes with Google TV. In any case, both devices will help us to watch free DTT channels on a television.
In this way, you will not need to tune in to the DTT channels you want, since you will be able to have them at your fingertips at all times. Although, for this, you will first need to connect these devices to your television. Later, it will allow you to watch TV and all its channels very easily.
Connect Chromecast or Google TV
Whether we have an older model of Chromecast or the most recent version with Google TV, the truth is that the configuration will be very simple. Also, in both cases, these devices will help us turn any television into a Smart TV. Therefore, to start with the configuration we will need to connect these devices to the TV through the HDMI port. Additionally, you’ll need the Google Home app to begin setup for Chromecast models:
Finally, it will be necessary to have a WiFi signal and that they are connected to the same network. Although, you can also use the mobile data connection by sharing the gigabytes with these devices. The important thing is that they are connected to the same network as your mobile.
What else do you need?
Now that we have configured the devices that we are going to use, it is time to see what we also need. Although, probably, if you already had them at home, you would have them configured on your television without an Internet connection. In this case, we are going to use an app that is simple and quick to use to access all the free DTT channels.
Specifically, we are going to use TDTChannels, an application that we can install on a mobile device or tablet, and with which we will be able to broadcast the channel to Chromecast or Google TV with just one click. At the moment, the app is available for Android devicesalthough they are developing the option for iOS.
In addition, this app has its own platform where we can find a legal and certified list. More than anything, because if we try to play IPTV lists in the app, which are not legally certified, they will not be added correctly nor will they be played. Therefore, it will have to add an official list in the application.
Once we have installed the app, we will have to click on the previous link of the official TDTChannels list and then we will be able to access the different DTT channels. To start sending the content to the device that we have connected to the television, it will be as easy as pressing the channel that we want to view on the Chromecast and touching the television-shaped icon (button send content).
A few seconds later, the channel that we have selected will begin to be seen on the television in which we have connected the Chromecast or Google TV device. So we can forget forever to tune the channels and connect the antenna to the TV.
