Browse channels by group or open Favorites. See what is playing before you choose. If a channel has several stream qualities, EPTV keeps them together in one entry.
See what is on
before you switch.
See the current programme and the one coming next. You can decide what to watch without opening every channel.
The progress bar follows the schedule.
It shows how far the programme has gone. You can only rewind when the stream supports it.
Look through
the programme guide.
Open the Guide from Live TV and compare what is on your channels. If you already have something in mind, search for a channel or programme.
See upcoming programmes in the schedule. You can watch earlier ones only when your provider supports Replay for them.
Keep your favorites
close to you.
Open Home when you want to return to a favorite channel or find something that is about to start.
- Favorites. Save the channels you want to return to.
- Recently Watched. Find a channel you watched recently.
- On Now. See what is playing without opening the full Guide.
- Starting Soon. See programmes that are about to begin.
On Now and Starting Soon need guide data for your channels.
Watch what you missed.
Some providers keep a programme archive. EPTV uses it to offer Start Over and Replay for supported channels and programmes.
Open an earlier programme.
Select an earlier programme in the Guide. Your provider decides which programmes can be replayed and how long they stay available.
If Start Over or Replay is missing or disabled, your source may not support it.
Change channels
while watching.
On Apple TV, open the player’s channel browser and choose with the Siri Remote. The current channel keeps playing until you select another one. On Mac, switch with the keyboard or return to the previous channel.
Bring up the controls
when you need them.
Check the channel, its current programme, and what comes next. The controls get out of the way while you watch.
Manage your playlists.
Add an M3U playlist URL on Mac or Apple TV. On Mac, you can also import a local playlist file. Use a compatible EPTV snapshot to restore a saved library.
Choose, rename, or delete a playlist. Refresh a URL playlist when your provider changes the channels. On Mac, you can import an XMLTV guide and match its programmes to your channels.

what is available.
