Features
- See what's on. Every channel with what's on now, a week of guide, and reminders with one tap. AirPlay included.
- Sport mode (Tuner Plus). Tuner finds games in the guide and gathers them, with live clock, countdown and spoiler shield.
- Mini player and Picture in Picture (Tuner Plus). Keep watching while you browse: a slim bar in the app, Picture in Picture outside it.
- Watch several at once (Tuner 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 (Tuner Plus). A show, a series or by keyword. Pause and rewind live TV; your Mac records.
- Downloads (Tuner Plus). Movies and episodes download in the background, resume and play offline.
- Best source (Tuner Plus). FHD, 4K, backup: one row per channel. Tuner measures which runs best and never switches without you.
- A profile for everyone (Tuner Plus). Own favorites, lists and progress for each person, PIN-protected, with a kids profile too.
- 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.
