... this website will be closed finally. Only the member area for registered users will remain online.

Actually this should have happened one year ago. But because of the high traffic in the discussion forum we put this off several times. Since the development of TVTool has stopped a long time ago, the forum is more and more often a target of spamming attacks and the costs for hosting and traffic are not insubstantiell I came to the conclusion that it's time to do the bitter step to say good bye. Bitter because there are still more than 2000 visitors daily. In 2006 more than 1 million visitors were counted.

I wish all TVTool users and all visitors of this site a Happy New Year 2007! Take care.

At the end of the year or at the beginning of 2005 TVTool will retire. That means that the development will be stopped then, only bug fixes will be done anymore. The support, the homepage and service areas like the member area will stay active for at least 1 year. More details and a view on the future can be found at this site!

... you got a Spanish site with cracks and stuff like that when entering tvtool.com: Tonight this site was under a little attack by hackers. They changed the homepage, so that it pointed to the crack site. Also the forum was affected and therefore offline the last hours. Meanwhile the problems have been solved, and the security issues have been fixed, the forum might cause some minor troubles though. Stay tuned! :-)

The first two parts of the Sconi Center tutorial are online. The next part will follow in a few days. Check it out here!

Version 1.5 provides new features as well as a number of improvments! This includes an enhanced IR signal processing for even a better and safer reception of remote control codes. A scope function offers the visual presentation of received signals. Also new commands are available and the user interface can be customized with own icons and colors. In short, remote control of the PC has never been easier and more comfortable! :-) Find out more about the new features at this place!

Version 9.7 introduces some new features. This includes the support for 2 analog monitors, or an enhanced context menu function. Also some important bugs have been fixed. So it could happen that the resolution was changed after using TV mode. This problem has been fixed, as well as a black screen effect which occured on some machines after a while in TV mode. A list of new features and changes can be found here, the program is located in the download area!

Just released, there is the first update already. V1.1 offers some improvments based on user suggestions. So applications can be started and concluded with the same button now. The user interface can be adopted better to low TV resolutions like 720x480, and some other changes. For details please s. readme filed included.

Sconi Center is available in the download area. A description of the program giving an overview of the most important functions can be found at this place. Maybe Sconi Center can do something for you, too! Just check it out! :-)

Shortly the Sconi will get a completely new and independent software! This software will be a standalone application which is not integrated in TVTool anymore. It will bring an entire new level of comfort and flexibility and will exceed the capabilities of the current software by far. A first preview of the Sconi Center can be found here!

Version 9.6.4 fixes some bugs. So far it could happen that the TV image was interrupted for a very short moment during watching a movie for example. This was caused by a superfluous initialisation of TV mode. A complete list of bugfixes can be found in the readme. Also two new command line parameters to control the flicker filter have been added. And the monitor positioning option has been improved by adding new presets. Version 9.6.4 is now available in the download area!
