Phone and TV, in sync.
4789 TV turns an Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV, or NVIDIA Shield into a first-party destination. Open it, let your iPhone find it, and keep the room under control.

Simulated receiver flow · deterministic demo
Recognition, not configuration.
When the receiver is visible, 4789 looks for it on the local network and presents a clear Connect or Not now choice.
01
Bonjour first
The TV advertises itself while its receiver screen is ready.
02
Local fallback
If the router suppresses normal discovery, 4789 checks the local subnet for a genuine first-party receiver.
03
Manual when needed
The TV shows its local address, so difficult networks still have a direct setup path.
A receiver built for real playback.
The television plays the media. The iPhone chooses, controls, and stays in sync.
Two remotes, one state
Pause, resume, seek, or stop from the iPhone or the TV remote. Each side receives the receiver's current playhead and playback state.
Tracks without starting over
Choose audio and subtitle tracks from the phone. Add an external subtitle, adjust its timing, or apply first-party appearance controls.
Audio that respects the route
Profiles cover TV speakers, ARC, eARC, AVR, and multichannel PCM. Compatible routes can preserve direct audio; unsupported paths decode instead.
Failures that explain themselves
Connecting, opening, buffering, decoder trouble, and source failure remain distinct. Recovery is bounded, and the phone receives the receiver's reason when it cannot continue.
The TV keeps playing. The phone stays useful.
For receiver-fetched streams, playback continues when 4789 leaves the foreground. Return to the app and the remote reconciles with the receiver. Local files still need the phone and TV connected through Wi-Fi or the phone's hotspot while the phone serves the bytes.
Open the receiver. Choose the room.
Install the public compatibility build, leave 4789 TV visible, and continue from your iPhone.
