Bring your own subscription

Three steps, then press play.

channl is the player, not the subscription. You bring an IPTV subscription you already pay for, and channl turns it into a TV app that’s actually pleasant to use.

01

Get the app

channl is free on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android, no account needed. Rolling out now, platform by platform.

02

Add your provider

Paste in the details your provider gave you: an Xtream or Stalker portal login, an M3U playlist link, or a Jellyfin or Emby server. channl also finds HDHomeRun and Tvheadend tuners on your network, then loads your channels, films and series with artwork and a guide.

03

Watch anywhere

Live TV, Catch-Up (replay the last few days), Movies and Series, at home or out. Sign in and it all stays in sync across your devices.

channl doesn’t sell channels or subscriptions. You bring your own; we’re the player. Not affiliated with Jellyfin or Emby. HDHomeRun and Tvheadend connect over your local network.

Set it up once. It follows you.

Handles the hard stuff.

Most players only manage plain H.264. The moment a file is HEVC, Dolby Vision or an oddly-muxed MKV, they black-screen. channl was built for exactly those.

Starts instantly

MKV and AVI films play straight away. channl rewraps the video instead of rebuilding it, so nothing’s lost and nothing stutters.

Uses your video chip

Hardware decoding on every platform — AVPlayer on Apple, MPV on Windows and Linux — so 4K and HEVC never fall back to the CPU.

HDR, tone-mapped

Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG and 10-bit, mapped to your actual screen, so the picture never washes out to grey.

Any audio, any subtitle

Switch track or language on the fly, surround included. Subtitles from plain SRT to styled ASS and image-based PGS.

Including the ones that trip other playersHEVC · Dolby Vision · AV1 · 10-bit HDR · DTS-HD · TrueHD · oddly-muxed MKV & AVI · PGS subs

Free forever. Or £3.99 for sync.

No account needed to watch. Standard and Premium add the cloud: sync, Catch-Up and the full guide, with 14 days free to try. Cancel anytime.
