Making full use of Open Source

Plasma Bigscreen combines many powerful software tools from established projects to make a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
MyCroft allows us to control our TV with just our voice, CEC makes it possible to control the interface using your normal TV remote control, and Pulseaudio drives the Plasma Bigscreen sound system.

Adapting to your needs

Being based on the most flexible desktop in the world means you can truly make your TV your own. Add and modify widgets, change colour schemes, fonts, and much, much more.
