ChannelSurf is a player, not a content service — it includes no channels. You connect your own IPTV provider.

Bring your own provider

Works with the three formats virtually every IPTV service uses.

Xtream Codes API M3U / M3U8 playlists Stalker / MAG portals XMLTV EPG
Free. Really free.

A player you'll actually enjoy using

No ads, no tracking, no channel packages to buy. The free app is the full player.

Live TV with a real guide

Fast channel surfing with a full program guide, catch-up TV where your provider supports it, and smart guide cleanup that hides the noise.

Movies & series, done right

A cinematic library with posters, backdrops, cast, trailers, season and episode tracking, favorites, and Watch Later.

Send it to the TV

Transfer playback to your Chromecast, Shield, or LG TV with one tap — the TV takes over and your device is free. Always included, always free.

Multiview

Watch up to four channels at once in a 2×2 grid on desktop, or pop streams out into their own windows. Game day, sorted.

Hardware-accelerated playback

4K, HEVC, HDR, and full surround audio (AC-3 / E-AC-3) with GPU decoding on every platform — including formats browser players can't touch.

Profiles & parental controls

Separate profiles per person or provider, each with its own layout, favorites, history, and PIN-protected parental controls.

Watch Party

Watch together. Actually together.

Sync is the whole point of watching together — so we obsessed over it. In your home, every screen locks to the same frame: measured at ±11 milliseconds, tight enough to walk the whole house without missing a word. And when friends join over the internet, everyone sees the same moment — a goal never lands in the group chat before it lands on their screen.

In your home — free

Any phone, tablet, or TV on your Wi-Fi can follow the host's stream in frame-accurate sync. Premium adds Mirror: push one stream to every TV in the house at once.

Friends anywhere

Host a party and friends join free with a 6-letter code — from the ChannelSurf app or straight from their browser at channelsurfplayer.com/party. Live chat and reactions included. Hosting is a Premium feature; joining never is.

Private by design

Video streams directly from the host's computer to each guest — it never passes through our servers. Chat and reactions are live-only and never stored anywhere.

ChannelSurf Premium $9.99 / year

One subscription. Every device you own.

Premium unlocks the features that turn a great player into a whole-home system — and let you take it with you. Buy it once — on the web, the App Store, or Google Play — and it unlocks every ChannelSurf app with a simple email sign-in.

Cloud Sync

Favorites, watch history, Watch Later, and resume positions follow you to every device, in real time. Pause on the TV, pick up on your phone.

Watch Party

Host friends anywhere — they join free with a 6-letter code, from the app or a browser, and everyone sees the same moment. At home, Mirror one stream to every TV in frame-accurate sync (±11 ms measured).

DVR

Record live TV on your PC, schedule programs and whole series from the guide, and stream your recordings to any device on your network.

Watch from Anywhere Beta

Your home PC becomes your personal cloud — stream live TV, your DVR, and audio-only over the internet from anywhere. Works even on carrier-grade-NAT connections like T-Mobile Home Internet and Starlink, through our secure relay.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does ChannelSurf include any channels or content?

No. ChannelSurf is a media player only — it does not include, host, sell, or promote any channels, streams, or content. You connect an IPTV service you already subscribe to (via Xtream Codes, an M3U playlist, or a Stalker portal), and the app plays it beautifully. You are responsible for the service you connect.

Is the app really free?

Yes. The full player — live TV with guide, movies and series, casting and TV handoff, multiview, profiles, following a Watch Party at home — is free with no ads and no tracking. Premium ($9.99/year) adds Cloud Sync, Watch Party hosting, Mirror, and DVR on top. Joining a friend's party is always free.

How does the free trial work?

You get 14 days of full Premium with just your email — no payment details required. One trial per email. If you don't subscribe, the app simply returns to the free tier; nothing is charged.

I bought Premium on one device — how do I unlock the others?

Open Settings → Subscription on any ChannelSurf app, enter the email you purchased with, and type the one-time code we send you. That's it — the device unlocks instantly, on every platform.

How do I cancel, and what about refunds?

Cancel anytime from Settings → Subscription → Manage; you keep Premium until the end of the paid year. Web purchases come with a 14-day money-back guarantee — see our refund policy. App Store and Google Play purchases are refunded through Apple or Google.

What are free Premium weekends?

Every so often we unlock all Premium features for everyone for a weekend — a banner appears in the app when one is live. It's the easiest way to try Watch Party hosting and DVR with zero commitment.
