Android TV, Google TV & Fire TV

Your IPTV subscription, on a telly that finally behaves.

Point it at the TV service you already pay for and it turns into a proper telly: a full guide, channels that change the moment you press the button, and your films and shows where you can find them. No ads. No tracking. No account to create.

The Telly is a player, not a provider. It ships with no channels, no playlists and no preconfigured services. You connect it to an IPTV subscription you already pay for — via Xtream Codes, a Stalker Portal, an M3U playlist or an XMLTV guide — and it plays what your provider sends. We are not affiliated with any provider, and we don't sell, host or index content.

What it looks like

Screenshots are taken from the real app on a 1080p Android TV device. The channel lineup shown is a demonstration lineup, not a real provider's.

The programme guide: a grid of channels down the left and programmes across a timeline, with the current programme highlighted and a preview panel above.
A proper guide — a scrolling timeline with what's on now, and what's on next.
The home screen with a featured channel showing what's on now and how long is left, above a Continue Watching shelf of part-watched films.
Home picks up where you left off, across live TV and on-demand.
A programme playing full screen, with the channel name, the programme title, the playback controls and a progress bar shown over the picture.
What you're watching, how long is left, and the controls — without leaving the picture.
A grid of TV show posters with episode counts, sortable by title or year.
Everything your service offers, sorted and searchable instead of endless.
Search results for the word great, split into a TV Shows section and a Movies section of poster cards.
Search spans live channels, films and shows at once.
A show's episode list, with a column of seasons on the left and numbered episodes on the right.
Seasons down one side, episodes down the other — and it remembers where you stopped.
The themes screen offering seven colour palettes: Blue, Red, Greyscale and Purple, with Green, Pink and Gold locked under supporter headings.
Seven palettes, because not every living room wants blue.

Made for the sofa

Every screen is built for a remote in one hand. Nothing here expects a mouse.

A guide worth using

See what's on now and what's on next, across every channel. Hold a direction to race through the schedule, narrow it down to the channels you actually watch, and keep your favourites at the top.

Pause and record live TV

Pause live TV when someone's at the door. Rewind if you missed the goal. Keep a recording and watch it whenever suits you.

Plug in a drive

Connect a USB drive and save your recordings straight to it, so running out of room never stops you recording. Copy your own films and videos onto it too and they'll turn up in the app, ready to play.

Films and shows, properly sorted

Loose episodes are tidied into real shows and seasons. It remembers where you stopped and rolls straight into the next episode.

A backup for the big match

Give a channel more than one stream and it quietly moves to whichever is holding up best, so one bad connection doesn't cost you the game.

One telly, everyone's telly

Each person in the house gets their own favourites, their own history and their own recordings.

Subtitles, the way you like them

Turn them on once and they stay on, from live channels to films and shows. It finds the subtitles that come with whatever you're watching, and you can change the size and the look so they're easy to read from across the room.

Ten languages

English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese and Simplified Chinese.

Parental controls

Put a PIN on the channels you'd rather the kids didn't wander into, or hide them from the guide altogether.

Privacy, stated plainly

The Telly has no servers. There is no account to create, nothing to sign in to, and nowhere for your viewing to be sent — because we don't run anywhere to send it.

1

Android permission requested: internet access. That's the entire list.

0

Analytics, crash-reporting, advertising and tracking libraries in the app.

0

Accounts, logins or personal details collected by us — there is no "us" to collect them.

Your provider's address and credentials are stored on your device and sent only to that provider. The full detail is in the privacy policy.

Community

The Discord is where releases get announced, bugs get triaged and feature requests get argued about. It's the fastest way to reach someone who can actually help.

One house rule above all others: no playlists, no provider credentials, no reseller links. Bring the app, not the content.
