## What is Orion?

Your sources change. Your setup shouldn't have to.

Orion is an IPTV player built around the sources you already use. When your source changes, Orion helps preserve the favorites, mappings, and organization you set up — instead of making you rebuild by hand.

BRING YOUR OWN SOURCES

Orion does not provide channels, playlists, provider accounts, media, or content subscriptions. You connect only sources you are authorized to use.

KEEP YOUR SETUP WHEN SOURCES CHANGE

Playlist changes shouldn't mean rebuilding everything by hand.

Setup Rescue can reconcile changed source entries so supported favorites, mappings, and personal organization can survive a source update.

Autopilot can handle high-confidence routine changes automatically and bring uncertain replacements to you for review.

PLAYBACK THAT REMEMBERS WHAT WORKED

Network Sense uses stored playback reliability history to help choose between available playback options that have performed well under similar connection conditions.

Instead of relying only on a fixed backup order, Orion can use what has worked before as part of future playback decisions.

A GUIDE BUILT AROUND YOU

Smart Guide helps turn your own EPG into a more focused experience.

Follow programs, teams, and topics you care about and surface relevant live or upcoming entries from your own guide data.

Event Ready can connect what you follow with matching broadcasts already available in your configured sources. Orion does not provide or add those broadcasts.

MORE WAYS TO WATCH

Bring multiple live streams together with Multiview.

Continue where you left off, use Picture in Picture where supported, and access catch-up or replay when your source provides it.

BUILT FOR APPLE DEVICES

Orion is designed for iPhone and iPad with supported native playback and system integrations.

SOURCE COMPATIBILITY

Connect supported M3U and Xtream sources and add XMLTV/EPG data. Use multiple sources and organize your own viewing setup in one place.

ORION PRO & PREMIUM

Orion Pro is a one-time purchase for the local power-player feature set.

Orion Premium is a monthly or annual subscription for ongoing reliability automation, source-continuity handling, and sync across your devices. Premium is not a subscription to TV channels or media content.

Some features depend on the data, playback options, and capabilities provided by your configured source.
