channl is a free player for the IPTV subscription you already pay for. Upgrade and every device stays in sync: pause on your laptop, resume on your phone, finish on the TV.
Sync every device from £3.99/mo.
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.
Choose your platform below. Available downloads are listed there; otherwise, sign up for launch updates. No account is needed to watch.
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.
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.
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.
MKV and AVI films play straight away. channl rewraps the video instead of rebuilding it, so nothing’s lost and nothing stutters.
Hardware decoding on every platform — AVPlayer on Apple, MPV on Windows and Linux — so 4K and HEVC never fall back to the CPU.
Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG and 10-bit, mapped to your actual screen, so the picture never washes out to grey.
Switch track or language on the fly, surround included. Subtitles from plain SRT to styled ASS and image-based PGS.
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.
