There are now numerous alternatives available that allow you to watch DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television) without relying on your Smart TV. One such option is to utilize a tablet that may be lying around your house, giving you the opportunity to transform it into a mini TV.
With the advancements in technology and changing times, the traditional methods of relying on antenna cables or DTT receivers to access Spanish channels have evolved. Nowadays, you can stream your desired channels over the internet from any device. That’s why we’re here to guide you on how to convert your tablet into a mini TV, enabling you to enjoy DTT channels completely free of charge.
Try TDTChannels
TDTChannels has emerged as one of the most popular choices among users for accessing DTT channels. What sets it apart is not only its availability as a web version but also its dedicated apps for Android, iOS, and even Huawei devices, making it widely accessible.
One minor inconvenience to note is that the Android app is not directly available on Google Play. Instead, you’ll need to download the APK file and manually install it on your tablet. The process itself is relatively straightforward, and you can follow these steps:
1. Open the Settings app on your Android device.
2. Navigate to the Applications section.
3. Locate the browser and file explorer apps you usually use.
4. Access each app one by one and go to the Install unknown applications tab.
5. Enable the Allow downloads from this source option.
Once you have enabled this option for both the browser and file explorer apps, you can proceed to install the TDTChannels APK file. It’s worth noting that the app is compatible with Android 5.0 and above, as well as iOS 13.0 or later. Therefore, even if you have an older tablet, you should be able to use it. If you’re using an iPad, ensure that you have at least the minimum required iOS version. The best part is, you don’t need to create an account to use the app.
The free option of Tivify
Apart from TDT Channels, there is another alternative for watching DTT channels called Tivify, which offers a free plan. With Tivify, you have two payment options, but you can enjoy TV for free on your tablet without the need to register. However, if you prefer, you can create a free account without any hassle. Tivify provides dedicated apps for both Android and iOS platforms. To use the app on Android, you’ll need Android 7 or later. For iPad users, a version of 13.0 or higher is required.
To transform your tablet into a mini TV, simply install the app and optionally create a free account using your email. Once installed, you can start watching DTT channels on your device.
However, it’s important to note that the free version of the app comes with certain limitations. Channels from Mediaset and Atresmedia, such as Telecinco or Antena 3, may not be available, and features like content recording, program control, and access to content from the past 7 days may be restricted. Nevertheless, if you don’t require these functionalities, you can enjoy access to almost all the channels available on your Smart TV for free, with no monthly cost.
