Live TV and player
Picture in Picture, timeshift, From the start, Multiview.
- Start in landscapeUnder Settings › Playback, “Rotate to Landscape on Start” decides whether the player starts in landscape on iPhone.
- Picture in Picture and mini playerWith Tuner Plus the picture keeps playing when you leave the app (Picture in Picture) or in the mini player inside the app.
- Pause and rewind live TVWith Tuner Plus you can pause live TV and rewind; this works with HLS channels.
- Watch a running show from the startIf your provider supports catch-up, tap the running show and start it over.
- Watch several channels (Multiview)With Tuner Plus you watch up to nine channels at once; you hear the selected channel.
- Choose subtitles and audioIn the player, choose subtitles and audio language with the buttons at the top; what you see is what your stream provides.
- Stream Shield and Stable PlaybackStream Shield buffers streams and reconnects after drop-outs; Stable Playback adds a larger buffer on weak connections.
- Best sourceIf a channel has several variants (FHD, 4K, backup), Tuner Plus groups them into one row and recommends the most reliable.
- Live previewLive preview shows stills from the running programme on the Home Screen instead of just logos; it is free and optional.
- Detect channels without a pictureTuner detects off-air slates, test cards and frozen pictures and moves those channels further back in suggestions; nothing is hidden.
- Picture in Picture plays only soundPicture in Picture needs the AVPlayer engine; streams played with VLC continue with sound only outside the app – as does playback without Tuner Plus.
