In the “old days” finding enjoyable TV programmes relied on three sources – in programme advertising for another show, flicking through the channels or your friends saying, “Did you watch xxxx last night? It’s brilliant!” At CES, Andy and Courtney discover Peel, a fourth way of discovering great new TV shows.
Peel is an iPhone and Android app which offers show recommendations based on your viewing habits and the shows that your friends and family are watching.
The app offers “Top picks” based on what you watch and you can rate shows as favourites or as “guilty pleasures” – I think we all know what that means! The app also gives “Friends’ favourites”, the shows that everyone else is watching, so you can catchup with what’s hot.
It’s not clear whether Peel is US-centric or not, but it’s a free app, so there’s nothing to lose.
Interview by Andy McCaskey and Courtney Wallin of SDR News and RV News Net.
