ChannelSurf is a fast, beautiful player for the IPTV service you already have. Live TV with a full guide, movies and series with rich detail pages, casting and handoff to your TV — plus Watch Party technology that continually corrects drift to help screens stay closely aligned at home and over the internet.
ChannelSurf is a player, not a content service — it includes no channels. You connect your own IPTV provider.
Works with the three formats virtually every IPTV service uses.
ChannelSurf monitors playback across the group and continually corrects drift as conditions change. It is designed to keep screens closely aligned whether they are across your home or across the internet.
Synchronization performance varies with network quality, source stability, host performance, and the hardware on each screen.
Phones, tablets, and TVs on your Wi-Fi can follow the desktop host. Premium adds Mirror, which starts and coordinates playback across multiple screens from one place.
Host a party and admitted friends join free with a 6-letter code, in the ChannelSurf app or at channelsurfplayer.com/party. Live chat and reactions are included.
ChannelSurf keeps checking group timing and makes measured playback adjustments when a screen starts to drift, without asking everyone to pause and seek by hand.
Watch Party hosting and in-home Mirror require a ChannelSurf desktop host. Internet guests connect directly to that host; chat and reactions are live-only and are not stored.
No ads, no tracking, and no locked viewing basics. Premium adds connected, hosted, and whole-home tools on top.
Fast channel surfing, a full program guide, provider-supported catch-up, unified search, and smart guide cleanup.
Rich detail pages, trailers, season tracking, profiles, favorites, Watch Later, local history, and parental controls.
Transfer playback, cast to supported TVs, follow a host at home, join Watch Parties, and use your phone as a companion remote.
Watch up to four live channels in Multiview, pop streams into separate windows, and integrate a supported network antenna.
Native and hardware-assisted playback where supported, plus Audio Only and Picture in Picture on compatible devices.
Use Xtream Codes, M3U/M3U8, or Stalker/MAG with XMLTV guide data. ChannelSurf never bundles or sells content.
Codec, HDR, surround-audio, casting, Picture in Picture, antenna, and Multiview support depend on the device, operating system, and source stream.
Both editions are the same ChannelSurf app and use the same Premium account. The direct installer comes from our signed releases; the Microsoft Store edition is coming next.
Install the signed desktop edition directly. ChannelSurf checks for signed updates and lets you install them in the app.

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.
Yes. Live TV, guide and catch-up, movies and series, local profiles and history, casting and Transfer, in-home following, Watch Party joining, companion remote, and desktop Multiview are free with no ads or tracking. Premium ($14.99/year) adds Cloud Sync, internet Watch Party hosting, Mirror, DVR, and Watch from Anywhere.
ChannelSurf continually monitors timing and corrects drift on both local-network and internet Watch Parties. Results vary with Wi-Fi and internet stability, the source stream, host upload and processing capacity, and each guest device, so we do not promise a fixed delay or identical results in every setup.
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.
Open Settings → Subscription on a supported ChannelSurf app, enter the email you purchased with, and type the one-time code we send you. Premium unlocks after the account is verified.
Cancel a web subscription 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.
From time to time we automatically unlock selected Premium features for everyone. The app and website show a banner while an event is live. No payment is required, and using an event does not consume your 14-day personal trial.
