Interactive TV — The Screen Talks Back

A live demo of Interactive TV from READYWARE — the universal remote control app. Tap a cue below and it's sent through the free readyware-tv.js. Load this page as your wallpaper in the app to watch real, tappable controls pop on screen.

🧪 Try the Live Test Page 📡 Read the Standard

READYWARE is the most customizable universal remote control app — and one of the best TV remote control apps you can put on a phone, tablet, Smart TV, or any browser. Interactive TV is its open format: because a READYWARE button can be transparent, any size, any color, and do anything the app does — fire IR or RF, run a macro, switch a live wallpaper, or launch anything — a stream or web page can pop those controls on cue, right over the content. Vote in a live show, tap-to-buy in a commercial, play along with a game, or open a link that actually works. See the full Interactive TV standard, or explore the whole app on READYWARE.com and the free tools on READYWARE.net.

What happened

Cue activity shows up here…

You're in control. A cue can draw a control or open a link — that's it. It can't fire your real devices, run a macro, launch an app, or reach your content unless you allow-listed this page first, and a "buy" button only opens a checkout. Read why it's safe →
