It syncs with your tv
so youre not really pretending to watch tv
After enrolling, you can start getting points by completing actions that allow you to qualify for points, as we indicate from time to time. These actions may include:
Doing a “check-in” while watching a qualifying program. A qualifying program is a television program, commercial or other media in the Viggle database for which check-ins are available.
Viewing qualifying programs (up to a maximum of twelve (12) hours per day)
Referring new users to the Program
Completing certain actions in social media
Completing other actions that we may make available from time to time, such as completing surveys, watching a game or other actions.
Redeeming a reward
Dad was right about a max of 12 hours a day.

Pretty sure it would be safe to have Unlimited Data.

It matches up the show your trying to check into with the TV volume. You don't plug anything in to your TV.

Does every show accumulate you points?
How long do you have to watch the show before it gets u points and u can go to another show to get points?
Does it have to be live to get points?

Yes, as long as you can check-in to the show, it will get you 1 point per minute.
No time limit to get points, but to get the Bonus Check-in Points on the feature shows, you have to be checked in at least 10 minutes.
It don't have to be live, as long as its on the TV and Viggle can find it, you get points.

I never watch anything live... I always dvr it and skip commercials - even NFL games I will start watching 30 minutes into the game.
How will this work with a dvr? Also will it work on a asus droid tablet? seems better then using the phone

Alright got this shit going on my tablet. I noticed people talking about trivia? I have checked in on a few shows and still have not seen any trivia.
Is the Trivia random? I searched around and didn't see a link - same with the videos I just saw a few videos but no points.

Relax koldy
trivia is 7-10pm
Pts for videos will show up if you watched the whole thing. I just picked up 175 by watching less than 2 min of videos just now.
Not sure about DVr but I watched something on demand and it picked it up fine.

You got me hooked Dad.
The trick is to fine the longest running show. I checked into Titanic last night when I went to bed. 190+ points. The Today show, for a bonus and 3+ hours.
Clicking all those commercials for points. +15, +30, +50, +75, etc. Best Buy, Snapple, Lipton, Pepsi, etc.
Currently at 3100+ points, and growing.
this sounds like something bigdaddy needs to check out

it is an ok idea but wastes way too much time and effort for the amount of the kickbacks
maybe $10 or so/month if you really put in the time which is less than 1/4th the sbr kickbacks

Can someone explain how you can check into a different show every ten minutes but still get the full points for that show? Aren't the points awarded per minute for how many minutes you are checked into the show?

What is the optimal way to check into shows...
Same show when it begins and when it ends?
Same show every 10 minutes?
Different shows every 10 minutes?

There is a list of Featured Shows, and you get Bonus Points for checking-in for at least 10 minutes. Those are the shows you want to check-in to daily. If there are 4 shows in the same time slot, just hang out and check-in to them all after 10 minutes of each, and you get the Bonus Points for them all.
Remember, your only allowed 12 hours a day max. So make sure you leave space for the Featured Shows and them Bonus Points. After that, then you can check-in to other shows to collect the 1 point per minute.

Different show every 10 minutes when it is the Featured Shows. So you can collect all the Bonus Points.

If your home, it isn't a waste and too much effort.
Or if you take off, and remember, check-in to a show that has a 3+ hour block. So you just have points collecting while your out.
