FAQ
Need an IR emitter?
Nope. It’s all IP.
How many Google TV devices does one licence cover?
Every one on that controller. Same key in each instance of the driver.
Will a key from another Driver Cave driver work here?
No. Every driver has its own licence. The TDC Google TV key only unlocks TDC Google TV.
Can I hook it up before I buy?
Yep. A 7-day free trial is built into the download. It starts when you add the driver to the project. No key and no card. One trial per controller. Buy when you’re happy and the driver on that controller unlocks by itself.
