We're working on the most advanced Leanback interface


From December 9th 2017 we now ship two versions of the DigiSender TV launcher. Our Lite version is available to everyone for free download on the Android Play-store and Aptoide Store. It includes ongoing updates for free as well as future premium services. Our fully featured version is shipped pre-loaded on all XDS consoles. This includes software and hardware features for video broadcasting services

Each version is updated in different ways, the Lite version uses Play-store's updating services which will update your app in the same way as other apps are updated on a device. But XDS consoles are used for many commercial applications and updated manually so that commercial installers have full control when the update occures

When an update is available it is clearly stated in the lower right hand corner of your home screen. Simply click on 'Update Available' and the service will re-launch fully updated
