Last month the social TV app company Miso announced a partnership with DirecTV so viewers could participate on Miso’s app in sync with TV shows — both live and recorded. Now Miso has announced another partner, AT&T U-verse.
“All you have to do is open up Miso, and as an AT&T U-verse enabled app, you simply select the receiver you want to connect to and it will immediately show what’s playing on your U-verse receiver,” explains Miso CEO Somrat Niyogi. “As you flip through channels, Miso changes with it to display what’s on. Users don’t have to search anymore to check-in, just tap and share.”
You can also click “watch it” on your Miso app, and the TV receiver will automatically search for the program. Think of it as an in-sync social TV guide that allows you to connect with other people watching the same shows. “These features are just the very beginning of how we are making it easier to share what you watch and get more from your TV experience,” Niyogi says.
Last month, GetGlue teamed up with DirecTV to allow check-ins via your TV remote control or DirecTV iPad app (demo video above.) DirecTV subscribers can also see the latest GetGlue check-ins from their friends on TV.
