TeeVee is a media player for the M3U playlist or Xtream Codes source you already use — comparable to VLC or Infuse. It does not include, sell, or provide any channels, movies, or series of its own. You connect your own legally obtained M3U playlist or Xtream Codes source, and TeeVee plays that content. WHAT TEEVEE ADDS • Full program guide (EPG) — browse by category, see what's on now and next • Movies & series library with artwork, search, and season/episode browsing • Resume playback — pick up where you left off, synced across your devices • Favorites, parental PIN lock, and per-category organization • Fast search across all content • Multi-view — watch multiple channels at once • Offline downloads for on-the-go viewing • Optional cloud sync so your connected sources follow you across devices There is no bundled content, no channel lineup, and no affiliation with any broadcaster or content provider.
