ConnecTV is here! Now you can watch TV, engage with the show and others at the same time

ConnecTV is here, and we at WXYZ are proud to be a part of this ground-breaking, "second-screen", interactive, companion-viewing experience. 

We know that many of you watch TV at your computer, or with your laptop or with your tablet in your hands.  And now with ConnecTV's website and tablet app, you can watch, chat with your friends, and engage with the show and its audience at the same time.

To get started, download the ConnecTV app on your iPad, or install the plugins available for Mac or PC. 

When you launch ConnecTV, it will automatically "hear" the TV program you're watching and then sync your device to showcase content and interactivity targeted for that program.  For instance, if you're watching 7 Action News, you'll see additional local news, weather and traffic information from us here at WXYZ.  If you're watching a sporting event, such as a Detroit Lions game, you'll get constant updates on scores, plays and game statistics.

You can learn more about ConnecTV at their website, ConnecTV.com.  You can find technical support at ConnecTV.com/support.

We're excited to be part of the next generation of TV viewing, now that ConnecTV is here!
