Download Zeebox App In UK And Watch Television The Social & Interactive Way

Like almost everything else, now your TV watching can go social too. Zeebox is a new, free app (immediately available in UK) that let's you do so. Zeebox, the company co-founded by Mr. Anthony Rose, who has been previously the head of iPlayer at BBC and CTO of YouView, is an ambitious project that goes with the tag line 'A social, immersive, interactive, and amazing way to watch television.' Oh well, let's see.

Basically, with Zeebox you can chat, share and tweet about whatever you are watching on TV. All you have to do it download the app from iTunes and it will become your TV remote control or a mobile app. After starting zeebox you are prompted to choose your TV provider. Choose if it's freeview, freesat or sky. Since it's available only in UK right now you’ll only get a list of UK TV channels. You can invite your friends from Facebook to share what you see. Zeebox on computer supports IE 8 & 9, Firefox 3.5, 4, Safari 5, Chrome 4 and later versions, while on iPad iOS4.2 or later.

If you want to use it as remote control for your TV, you need to be running it on an iPad. (It will be available for iPhone by the end of this year.) Zeebox supports these television sets : #-Link-Snipped-# (i.e. TVs from Sony, Samsung, LG and Panasonic). Connect your TV to internet and set wi-fi on your iPad and that will do the trick.

The Zeebox team is working towards adding new features to this app, which will be available in subsequent versions. As the Zeebox Team puts it on their official website, "Zeebox is a complex product because it spans multiple disciplines – broadcast TV ingest, natural language processing, video and audio fingerprinting, social, product and user experience design, TV schedules and metadata, huge traffic spikes, real-time presence and chat service, and more."

It's worth noting that iTunes made Zeebox its 'App of the Week' in its UK Store. The company plans to roll out Zeebox in US and Europe by early 2012. Here is how-to video of Zeebox:
