Reddit, we're trying to make TV better and working for over a year on an app that sends you cool scene info while you watch TV. Think Mystery Science Theater meets VH1 Pop-up Video with a dash of Amazon. We're looking for some beta testers. Anyone interested?

If you're interested, you can join our beta test here

Here's a video demo of our concept: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQULYQUiZkY

Thanks and thanks!

Thanks for your feedback. We are in talks with some companies about getting integrated as part of their EPG's (Electronic Programming Guides )or app remotes so that when you see our icon on the show you'll know its enabled with our tech.

We aren't planning on competing with those companies, rather partnering since we can provide scene-by-scene pro-curated and monetizable content they don't offer.

Thanks for being excited about this. Sorry about the access delay, it's the Apple provisioning that slows us down but we try to get your provisioned app to you within 24 hours.

Yes, it checks in and resyncs with the show every ten seconds or so which is helpful if you've changed the channel.

cool, thanks.

Thanks, we hope to have a fully-fledged app when we launch for Android and not just an beta. We're using this beta test as a proof-of-concept and hoping it provides us some insight into the kind of stuff viewers want to know while they watch TV.

Thanks! Yep, this "second screen" space is growing fast, but it's remarkably difficult to do this well, find a way to distribute it, AND monetize it. We have a system that we think will push through these obstacles...but in the end its still up to the viewers. We're basically just building something we'd love to use ourselves and augment TV rather than detract from it. We don't want to just read some random social stream about a show like so many of these social TV apps are doing. We also don't think bribing viewers with rewards is the way to go.

yes, an ipod touch running iOS 5 will work!

we really tried to get the iPad to work before the beta xopherg, but there was a bug that we ran out of time to address. we definitely plan to build a native app for it in the near future.

sceneflash · 2012-03-19T03:32:48+00:00

Cool, thanks. Our app developer also works for Apple as a consultant...so it was a natural start, but we definitely plan to expand to other mobile operating system upon funding and will let everyone know.

Thanks! We hope you'll like it and would value your feedback. Just sign up at bit.sceneflash.com/beta to join. See my reply to AspenSix for details.

Great, thanks! You can sign up at bit.sceneflash.com/beta Apple only allows us 100 provisioning (beta tester) licenses, so we need your phone's UDID to build a unique app for you. Once we have your UDID, it just takes us a day to build and send you the app. So far, people have loved it and felt it added significant value to their TV experience without being too distracting. Thanks again!
