Everything TV needs.

Live, guide, sport, movies and series – in one app that feels like part of your device.

See what's on

Every channel with what's on now, a week of guide, and reminders with one tap. AirPlay included.

Sport mode Plus

Tuner finds games in the guide and gathers them, with live clock, countdown and spoiler shield.

Mini player and Picture in Picture Plus

Keep watching while you browse: a slim bar in the app, Picture in Picture outside it.

Watch several at once Plus

Up to nine channels at once on iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Made for match day and election night.

From the start

Tuned in late? Restart the show or catch up on what you missed, if your provider offers it.

Recordings Plus

A show, a series or by keyword. Pause and rewind live TV; your Mac records.

Downloads Plus

Movies and episodes download in the background, resume and play offline.

Best source Plus

FHD, 4K, backup: one row per channel. Tuner measures which runs best and never switches without you.

A profile for everyone Plus

Own favorites, lists and progress for each person, PIN-protected, with a kids profile too.

What happens in the background.

Much of Tuner you don't see – you notice it.

Fast live start

Tuner starts at the live edge instead of behind the server's buffer, learns your provider and shows the real delay. After a pause you rejoin live.

Stream Shield

A buffer between provider and player bridges short drop-outs and reconnects automatically. Stable mode helps on weak networks.

Channels with a picture first

Off air, test card or no picture: Tuner detects such channels, frozen stills included, and moves them further back in suggestions. Free, can be turned off.

Live preview

If you like, Home and tiles show a current picture from the live programme instead of just channel logos.

Genres, even without data

If genre, year or age rating are missing, Tuner fills them in from category, title and description. Can be turned off.

Nothing turns on silently.

New features like Sport mode, live stills or Best source introduce themselves once with a short card. You turn them on deliberately – and control each one in Settings.

Sport mode

Tuner finds matches in your guide and shows countdown and match minute.

Frequently asked questions

Does Tuner provide channels, movies or series?

No. Tuner is a player and contains no content, no playlists and no provider links. You play your own, legally obtained sources – for example the playlist from your cable or IPTV provider.

Which sources does Tuner support?

M3U and M3U8 playlists and Xtream Codes logins, plus XMLTV programme data (EPG). When you paste a link, Tuner detects the type of source automatically.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no Tuner account. With Tuner Plus, favourites, progress and profiles sync through your own iCloud; we have no access to it.

Which devices does Tuner run on?

iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later, Apple TV with tvOS 17 or later and Mac with macOS 14 or later. One purchase works on all devices with the same Apple ID.

Which sports does Sport mode recognise?

Football, basketball (NBA, EuroLeague), American football (NFL), ice hockey (NHL, DEL), baseball (MLB), Formula 1, tennis and golf. Match minute and lap are estimates from the broadcast time; Tuner does not show scores.

Can I share Tuner Plus with my family?

Yes, with the yearly plan and Lifetime: Tuner Plus then supports Family Sharing for up to six people. The monthly plan cannot be shared.

What happens when Tuner Plus ends?

Plus features pause and your settings are kept. Subscribe again and everything is as it was.

How can I tell whether iCloud sync is working?

With Tuner Plus, Settings › iCloud shows the status in plain words, such as “Sign in”, “Storage full” or “Temporarily unavailable”. “Sync now” starts right away, and Tuner retries failures automatically.

How do I cancel Tuner Plus?

In your device Settings under your name › Subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period. Lifetime is not a subscription and needs no cancelling.
