The site becomes the channel. Other apps ask you for an m3u8 link. AnyStream TV asks for the address of a site. Paste it, and AnyStream TV opens the page, finds the channels it carries, and saves them to your library. One import can bring in a whole site's worth of channels at once β€” and once they're in, you never need to open that site again. No m3u8 to find. No M3U playlist that works today and is dead next week. HOW IT WORKS β€’ Paste the address of a site that streams TV β€’ Or share the page to AnyStream TV straight from Safari β€’ The channels it finds are added to your library, named and sorted β€’ Tap one and watch FOR THE SITES YOU ALREADY WATCH AnyStream TV ships with no catalogue and hosts nothing. It organises what you already open in your browser, so the pages you visit for live TV become channels in one app instead of a folder of bookmarks. M3U WORKS TOO Already have a direct .m3u8 link or an M3U playlist? Paste it and add it directly to your library. M3U is fully supported β€” you just don't need one to get started. IMPORT WHILE YOU BROWSE AnyStream TV has a browser built in. Land on a page that's streaming, tap Import as Channel, and its channels are added to your library. WHAT'S ON, AT A GLANCE See what's on now and what's next right under your channels. With Pro, open the full programme guide and set reminders so you never miss a show. YOUR LIBRARY, EVERYWHERE Everything you import syncs automatically over iCloud. Your channels, playlists and favourites are ready on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Apple silicon Mac. Search your library, filter by country or category, and organise channels into playlists. ON APPLE TV AND MAC AnyStream TV is free on Apple TV and Apple silicon Mac too. Your first week is unlimited; after that, watch up to 60 minutes a day for free, or go unlimited with Pro. YOUR IPHONE BECOMES THE REMOTE Cast a channel to your TV with AirPlay and AnyStream TV turns your iPhone into a remote. Zap between channels, use CH+ and CHβˆ’, or enter a channel number to jump straight to it β€” without interrupting what's playing on the big screen. ANYSTREAM TV PRO β€’ Unlimited channel imports β€’ No ads, anywhere β€’ Unlimited viewing on Apple TV and Apple silicon Mac β€’ The full programme guide and reminders The free tier includes 5 import credits per month, plus the occasional free import β€” a single channel costs 1 credit, a whole site's worth of channels costs 3. Try Pro free for 7 days. The trial includes 15 import credits, shared across your devices; imports are unlimited once the subscription starts. Then $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year. JUST WANT THE ADS GONE? Remove Ads is a one-time $8.99 purchase that removes every ad, forever. It covers ads only β€” unlimited imports, unlimited viewing on Apple TV and Mac, and the full programme guide remain part of Pro. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased. Terms of Use: https://arianistore.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://arianistore.com/privacy

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: BTGuard VPN at none against AnyStream TV's shown. AnyStream TV's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
