What it is

The same channels as tvknob.com, on a walnut styled TV: live video and radio, a channel dial, a guide, channel info and on-demand shows. A YouTube channel, playlist or video plays in the picture tube, and so do other web pictures such as Twitch. The set does not open the YouTube app or a browser.

Link your tvknob.com account (optional)

Everything public works without an account. Linking marks your own channels on the TV.

  1. On the TV, press Menu to open the guide and choose the last row, Link your tvknob.com account.
  2. On your phone or computer go to tvknob.com/link and enter the code shown on the TV.
  3. Sign in. The TV updates within a few seconds. In Network Studio the session is named TVK Android TV.

The same code on tvknob.com and upriver.studio

The code always opens https://tvknob.com/android/get, so a scan from either site downloads the current build. To show it on another page, including Network Studio or live.upriver.studio:
