The bluetooth and wifi chips on the iPad and iPhone share a single antenna. So if you're using bluetooth headphones, your wifi performance will not be as good. This isn't noticeable if you're just surfing the web, as that only requires a small amount of data. But a TV signal requires a lot more data, so you may start seeing performance issues.

We currently don't recommend using bluetooth devices while using tizi.

tizi.tv supports OS X – macOS Sierra.

In order to send your TV picture wirelessly to your device, tizi needs to transmit a fairly large amount of data across its wireless network. For optimal performance you should place tizi away from other wireless devices.

When you turn tizi on, it tries to find a wifi channel that isn't being used. If it can't find an empty channel, tizi will share a wifi channel with other devices. If you notice performance issues with your other devices, try placing tizi further away from other wireless devices, or try choosing a different wireless network channel on your wifi router or Apple Airport Base station. Check your wireless base station's manual for details.

On our website www.tizi.tv you will find TV receivers for your Mac to receive digital TV on your computer.

Every tizi has its own tizi Code. You will find the tizi Code for your device here:
  • On the first page of the Quick Start Guide
  • In the battery compartment of your tizi Wifi and tizi+

With TV for Mac you can use these USB TV receivers with your Mac:

  • tizi for Mac (DVB-T)
  • TubeStick mini Rev. 2 (EQ20511)
  • tizi Video Recycler as well


  • In addition TV for Mac also supports these TV receivers that you connect wireless with your Mac:

  • equinux tizi WiFi
  • equinux tizi+
  • tizi WiFi by Belkin
  • iCube Tivizen nano
  • Hauppauge myTV 2GO
  • Elgato Tivizen


  • You don't have a TV receiver yet? Visit our website www.tizi.tv for more information about tizi TV receivers.

    In order to use tizi for Mac on your computer, there are some audio codecs necessary. For legal reasons these codes are not available in the tizi.tv version from the Mac App Store.
    Because of this the version from the Mac App Store supports only certain tizi devices:

  • You purchased tizi for Mac DVB-T or DVB-C? In this case, please download tizi.tv for Mac via my.tizi.tv
  • You are using tizi or tizi+ with an iPad or iPhone and want to watch TV also on your Mac? In this case you can download tizi.tv from the Mac App Store. You will need the in-App purchase "tizi Wifi Support".
  • Please download the tizi.tv App for your Mac from our website:

    www.tizi.tv/app

    Just enter here the tizi code you find in the instruction booklet.

    Yes, you can use timeshift with tizi.tv and your iOS device – just hit pause!

    A typical recording takes up about 30-45 MB of space per minute on your iOS device. So an average movie will take up about 2-3 GB of space.

    Yes, if you have an Apple TV and an iOS device, you can watch your recordings or live TV with AirPlay Mirroring!

    You will need a strong network connection to allow it to work smoothly. Connecting your Apple TV via an ethernet cable is usually best for this.

    For tizi:
    Set up tizi so that it's set to tizi@Home mode which you can find instructions on how to do here. Connect tizi to the same network that your Apple TV is connected to, choose your channel and turn on Mirroring over AirPlay.

    So for example, once you've picked your channel on tizi.tv on your iPhone, double click the iPhone's home button, swipe twice on the row of apps to go left past the music controls and tap the AirPlay button.

    If you can't seem to find any channels in the same place you used to find lots then it may be worth just resetting the app. To do this:

    • Please quit the app entirely by double clicking the home button, holding down on the tizi icon and pressing the red 'X' that appears.
    • Then go to the 'Settings' app on the iPad
    • Scroll down to tizi.tv > Reset App and Reset EPG > ON (both).
    • Then reset your tizi as well by poking a paperclip in the little hole on its side.
    Of course. We tested tizi go with the iPhone 5 and the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter and it works perfectly.

    Mail Designer 2 works with the stationery feature built-in to Apple Mail. Other email programs don't have this feature, so currently only Apple Mail is supported directly.

    In addition, Mail Designer 2 allows you to configure your own email account in the preferences. This allows you to send emails directly via Mail Designer 2 and use features like attaching files to your message that is not possible when sending your design from Apple Mail.

    Uploading your design to MailChimp or Campaign Monitor also allow you to use these services for large email campaigns



    Most other email applications will of course be able to open and view your stationery messages created with Mail Designer.

    With Mail Designer you can add dedicated video placeholder to your design. You will find all available placeholders in the "Video Placeholder" section of the Contents panel.

    After you have added a video placeholder, enter the link to your video. Mail Designer will automatically load a preview image for the video, which you can use as thumbnail in the placeholder. Note: YouTube Shorts does not allow fetching of a preview image right now.

    You have your own MP4 movie clip that you want to use without uploading it to Youtube or Vimeo?
    Move your movie file into the public folder of your Dropbox and copy the public link to the video into the Video Placeholder to share it with your recipients.

    If you don't see a Public folder in your dropbox account, your share links will beginn with "https://www.dropbox.com/…". This is not a direct link to the file. Please replace "https://www.dropbox.com/…" with "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com" and use this link in Mail Designer. This is a direct link to the video.

    Please note that the videos need to be available from the internet and get not attached as files to your message.

    MailChimp has free and paid plans. Please visit the MailChimp website for more details and exact pricing information.

    In order to upload templates to your MailChimp account on your behalf, Mail Designer needs your MailChimp API key (a special kind of password).

    You can find your API key on your MailChimp. The MailChimp support pages have more information.

    MailChimp offers visual "WYSIWYG" and code-based template editing.

    However, as every HTML engine works a little bit differently, we recommend that you stick to Mail Designer for editing, as changes made with MailChimp may cause issues with the look or layout of your designs.

    If you need to make any changes, simply re-upload a new version of your design and select it for your MailChimp campaign.

    On the other hand if you are a HTML code pro, just edit the HTML code with the MailChimp editor untill it fits your needs. We ask for you understanding that we can't offer support for this.

    It sure does! And it does it brilliantly too!

    Mail Designer can export an HTML file containing your entire design. This opens up a whole host of great options for you, as the user, to explore:

    • Upload your design to third-party newsletter services
    • Offer recipients, with email client programs that don’t support rich HTML content, the option to view your message as a webpage in their browser
    • Create a link to your newsletter directly from your website: A great option for people that would like to see a newsletter before they subscribe

    The best thing is: It's so easy to export your design as an HTML document

    • Open your design
    • Choose “Share > HTML...” from the menu bar
    • Choose a location to save your design

    By the way: If you plan on uploading your images to a separate web server, you can enter an absolute URL prefix for images.

    The Mail Designer manual has information on how to create your design and export it to MailChimp. Once you have sent your design to the big monkey in the sky, you can create campaigns, manage subscribers, track clicks and more with MailChimp's tools.

    There are so many different MailChimp features, that we can't describe them all in the Mail Designer manual. But don't worry: the MailChimp team have created webinars, how-to manuals, guides and tips to help you get started.

    iOS recognizes phone numbers and other information like addresses and dates automatically, as these information can be used in different Apps.
    You can for example tap a phone numer in order to call it or tap an address to add it to your address book.

    Because of this, these information get highlighted in emails.

    Mailchimp no longer supports the old APIs used by previous Mail Designer versions.

    Please update to Mail Designer 365 1.7 or later to use the latest Mailchimp 3.0 API.

    Mail Designer 365 1.7 is included with all Mail Designer 365 plans, owners of previous Mail Designer versions can purchase an upgrade plan.
    In the world of email design, things are changing constantly. With this in mind, it's important to bear in mind that many features available in legacy versions of Mail Designer may no longer work and that designs created in older versions may not be in line with today's modern standards.

    For this reason, we have exclusively dedicated our support and development efforts to maintaining the Mail Designer 365 service - the only Mail Designer version to offer you ongoing updates and compatibility with all future macOS versions.

    For reference, below you can find the end of support dates for all legacy versions of Mail Designer:

    Mail Designer- Support ended: September 2014

    Mail Designer 2 - Support ended: February 2015

    Mail Designer Pro - Support ended: May 2016

    Mail Designer Pro 2 - Support ended: May 2017

    Mail Designer Pro 3 - Support ended: October 2018

    Mail Designer Pro HS - Support ended: January 2019

    What this means:
    While some of these versions of Mail Designer may still work on your current Mac, should you need to get a new Mac, or upgrade to a new macOS, they will no longer be supported.

    What to do: If you are still using an older version, we strongly suggest you upgrade to a modern Mail Designer 365 plan to guarantee regular updates and consistent support throughout the lifetime of your plan.
    When emailing a group of people, there have traditionally been several methods to do so. Examples of traditional "small group sending" include:
    • Regular email with several contacts in the To field
    • Regular email with several contacts in the BCC field
    • An email to a predefined group, such as an Outlook Group

    In recent years, email service providers have gradually increased email sending requirements. Once you approach 30 or more recipients for a single email, several problems can arise if you try to send that message using traditional email methods.
    • Your email service provider or the recipient's email service provider may raise suspicions of SPAM (unsolicited junk emails) sending, potentially leading to your account's suspension or temporary freeze.
    • Receiving an email with an extensive list of recipients often diminishes its perceived relevance to individual recipients, making it seem impersonal and more likely to be classified as junk mail.
    • Messages sent to a large number of recipients are often flagged by Junk Mail Filtering systems as Spam, increasing the risk of your message being blocked and not reaching its intended recipients.

    Especially with the latest Spam guidelines implemented by major email providers like Google and Hotmail, it's increasingly easy for your email address or domain to be blacklisted. This could result in your account being "Spam blocked," causing all your emails to be directed to recipients' spam folders. Removing this type of Spam block is a cumbersome process, so it's essential to avoid it.

    How can Mail Designer Campaigns assist you?
    • Mail Designer Campaigns enables you to fully verify your domain, ensuring optimal verification for your emails to reach recipients' inboxes.
    • If you don't have your own domain or prefer not to undergo the verification process, we can provide you with a custom address from a fully authenticated domain, significantly reducing the risk of your emails being marked as Spam.
    • We offer intelligent list management for your contact lists, allowing you to either send emails to all contacts or create targeted groups tailored to your audiences.

    In summary, recent Spam requirements have tightened regulations on small group sending. Therefore, if you regularly send emails to 10 or more people, we highly recommend using a mailing service like Mail Designer Campaigns.

    Begin your journey with Mail Designer Campaigns by uploading your contact list.
