## What is EE TV?

The EE TV app allows you to watch live channels and shows on demand, plus now you can buy all the latest Hollywood blockbuster movies and your favourite TV shows.
 
Watch live channels, including the latest Premier League or UEFA Champions League action on TNT Sports, if it is included in your EE TV package.
 
Missed a programme or match? With the EE TV App, you can catch up on the latest shows from a range of channels, including Discovery.
 
And it’s never been easier to own the biggest TV shows, or to buy or rent the latest movie releases. Our new Store in the EE TV app allows you to purchase the very latest titles with just a tap of your screen.
 
How does the app work?
 
- All EE TV customers can use the EE TV app for no extra cost and watch programmes in line with their TV subscription
- Continue watching from where you left off on your EE TV box.
- Watch channels and programmes on up to two devices at the same time.
- Download content to watch anywhere anytime.
- AirPlay and Chromecast what you’re watching on the app to a big screen.
- Set programmes to record on your YouView box.
 
To watch content you'll need to be a EE TV customer with a valid EE ID or BT ID that's been associated to your account. You can register the app on up to four devices.
 
If you’re not an EE TV customer but have a YouView box*, you can still use the app for remote recording, and to view your list of recorded and scheduled programmes.
 
* Not compatible with 1st generation set top boxes (e.g. Humax T1000 / T1010, or Huawei DN370T) or Sony TVs, which are no longer capable of remote recording.

### 4/5 — Software crashes out

*2026-06-27*

This application does not work on my iPhoneSE using operating system 15.8.8

### 1/5 — Latest update has killed the app for me

*2026-06-05*

Just tried to open the app and all I get is a blank screen, worked perfectly when I used it on Sunday and Monday this week, then the latest update killed it

### 1/5 — Often refuses to load on my iPad

*2026-04-15*

On the rare occasion the app loads it is fine, but most of the time app refuses to load or takes a considerable amount of time. Often quicker to shut down Ipad and restart then app, then it will work okay for a few days.  All my other apps load fine so it must be a problem with this app.

### 2/5 — Won’t load

*2026-03-11*

This app is so infuriating. Most of the time it just won’t load. When it does it’s great but I usually miss most of what I want to watch as it just doesn’t work

### 3/5 — Guide

*2026-02-10*

Cannot access tv guide to make recording. Seems I have to do this through the tv?
Sorry EE - this is a mistake. I now know how this works!

### 1/5 — What is the point of this app?

*2026-01-31*

Coming from Sky where the app works like a separate box this app is utterly and completely useless other than as a TV guide. I have failed to watch a single channel on it. Every time it just throws up obstacles like turn your box on this channel at that time etc. If I’m honest the whole Now TV platform that EE is based on feels 20 years old. At least it’s cheap.

### 5/5 — EE tv

*2026-01-22*

Since app update responds and renders very well. Everything does as it should. 
Good handy app to use.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear of your experience so far. Could you please email us at tv.apps@ee.co.uk so that we can understand your issues better.

### 3/5 — Update I didn't need

*2025-12-16*

Have been using this app for years to set recordings on my Youview box, since the dedicated app for that was withdrawn. After the latest compulsory update, it no longer connects.
The description here on the App Store still says it can be used for non EE YouView boxes, but I can't pair with mine.
UPDATE:
The solution is in the settings for the App. The option to allow the app to access the local network had been turned off. Turned it back on, and the app immediately found and connected to the box. Happy days!

### 1/5 — Lack of thinking....

*2025-11-29*

Why has the latest version omitted support for older variants of the operating system? Surely continuing to support access for those who have the older version of the OS whilst providing newer facilities for those fortunate enough to have a device capable of  supporting the newer facilities would have been the sensible thing to do......  simply another set of unthinking developers playing with their latest toys!

### 3/5 — Recording history

*2025-11-27*

Suddenly the history tab is full of all the recordings I have set up this year, earliest first and no way to remove them. This is as annoying as it claiming my device is not paired when the account says it is.  Please sort this.
