Install ChannelSurf on iPhone, iPad, Android, and Android TV through Apple and Google testing while store review completes, or download it for Mac and Windows. Try Mirror at home, or use Home Streaming away from home and Audio Only when bandwidth matters.
Test builds are free to install. ChannelSurf provides no channels or media—use only a service or playlist you are authorized to access.

What to test
Everyday playback and connected features.
Free features work without an account. Premium tools need ChannelSurf Premium or the 14-day free trial. Focus on real use, recovery, navigation, and keeping devices in sync.
Synced favorites & Watch Later
Save something on one supported device and confirm it appears on another.
Cross-device program reminders
Set a reminder from a connected client, then confirm a notification-enabled phone schedules the five-minute alert after it syncs.
Pick up where you left off
Pause on one supported device and resume from the saved position on another.
Mirror
Keep participating screens closely aligned at home and report drift or recovery problems.
Home Streaming away from home
Connect back to your desktop host and test lower-bandwidth quality options, including through the secure relay.
Audio Only
Follow a channel without video when you want to reduce bandwidth or keep listening.
Offline movies & episodes
Queue a movie, episode, season, or current series catalog through your home desktop, then confirm the device copy plays after Wi-Fi and cellular are disabled.
Feedback & recovery
Report playback errors, modal focus problems, crashes, and steps that reproduce them.
Some connected features require a ChannelSurf desktop host. Device, codec, provider, network, and operating-system capabilities affect performance.
