With Movistar’s 4K deco, the truth is that you can do many things and you are sure to be unaware of some of them at this point. Therefore, here we are going to see the 7 unknown uses that you can take advantage of if you have this decoration in your living room.
If you have it at home, you will be interested in knowing all the functions of the Movistar 4K UHD decoder . In this way, you will be able to get the most out of this device that allows us so much as we will see below. Surely you may know some of them, but others can get you out of trouble since this deco is really powerful.
things you can do with Movistar’s 4K deco
Record content with the 4K deco
One of the first features that we find in the Movistar deco is that we will have the opportunity to record all the content that we cannot view live due to the schedule or because we are not going to be at home.
In this way, we will be able to program up to 50 series and record complete seasons. Of course, we have a maximum of 300 hours to save movies, series, programs, etc. And, the recording of the content that we store will be available for at least 6 months.
Movistar Living Apps
With the operator’s 4K decoder (wired or with WiFi) we will have the opportunity to have digital entertainment experiences , online shopping, travel and sports. And all thanks to the well-known Living Apps.
These options are available from Movistar television. And you can access the Living Apps from the ‘Apps’ section of the Movistar Plus+ menu or with the Movistar+ Voice Remote or through the Movistar Home device. In this way, you will be able to enjoy different services or content without having to download that series of applications.
Access to streaming platforms
Other advantages of this operator device is that it gives us access to streaming platforms : Netflix, DAZN, Prime Video, Disney+ … in this way, you will not need to download the applications from these platforms on your Smart TV, since You will have them on hand in the Movistar deco. Of course, we will need it to be included in our rate or that we have an active subscription on the platform we want to access.
In addition, we can tune the different platforms on dials:
- Netflix: dial 100.
- DAZN: tuning to dial 103. The DAZN channels that you can find on Movistar Plus+ are: DAZN LaLiga (dial 53), DAZN F1 (dial 63 and 4K on dial 442) and DAZN 1-4 (dials 64-65-196-197 )
- Disney+: dial 101.
- Prime Video: dial 102.
View content in 4K
As it could not be otherwise, by having a 4K UHD deco, it is obvious that we will be able to view content in this quality. Therefore, if our television has the possibility of offering us this quality and we select content that is 4K, we can see it in UHD.
We can even watch some Movistar Plus+ channels in 4K . Unfortunately, they are not the majority and are limited to the field of sports. We have LaLiga or F1 in this highest quality. Let’s hope that the obligation to broadcast DTT in HD starting in February, together with the push for 4K, will serve to bring this resolution to the operator’s decoder.
Movistar Plus+ Voice Control
Another function that we have with the deco, although it is more thanks to its remote control, is the fact that we can control the television thanks to Aura, Movistar’s virtual assistant. And all because of his Movistar+ Vocal Command.
With the Vocal Command we will have the option to ask Aura for movie recommendations, to find the next soccer game we want to see or even to find movies where your favorite actors appear. And you will only need to use the appropriate voice command.
Convert mobile into remote control
Few know that we can convert the mobile phone into a remote control for the Movistar Plus+ decoder. To do this, we must have the “Launch and see” function activated on the device provided by the operator.
From there, we will enter the Movistar Plus+ application on our mobile with the same credentials that we have and click on the “broadcast” icon located in the upper right part of it. Once we have linked the mobile phone to the deco we can access the new green icon that will turn it into a remote control.
Increase the volume more
There are some productions that do not sound as good as they should, causing us to have the television at too high levels. Luckily, the Movistar Plus+ decoder can alleviate this situation by searching for the “Volume level” option in the configuration menu.
Once we enter this configuration, we will have several options available. By default, it will come in “Normal”, although we can try “High” to have a higher volume than usual.
