TVu is a personal player and organizer for iPhone and iPad, including the adaptive iPhone Duo display. Add media sources you are authorized to use, browse live channels, movies and shows, save favorites, and view guide information supplied by your source. Start with four included demonstration videos. You can also save and use up to four remote IPTV configurations without a subscription, in any combination of M3U/M3U8 URLs, Xtream Codes, and M3U server logins. The included demo playlist and local M3U files do not use those four remote slots. Some source types, including local files, require Premium separately. TVu Annual unlocks a fifth or later remote configuration, other Premium source integrations, iCloud sync and backup, and appearance customization. Saved configurations remain stored if Premium expires. The subscription screen shows Apple's localized price, term, renewal details, and any available trial before purchase. Restore Purchases is available in Settings. Playback format support depends on the source, codec, and device. TVu supplies no commercial channels, provider accounts, media subscriptions, or rights to third-party content. Only add sources you are authorized to access.
