Television the way it used to be, made from your own films. 90sTV turns your Jellyfin library into real broadcast channels. They run whether you are watching or not. Tune in and you are in the middle of something: no menu, no picking, just programming. Channels your way Every film, by genre, hand-picked or driven by the hour. Cartoons in the morning, series in the afternoon, films in the evening, horror at night. A fixed prime time Every channel starts its main feature at the time you choose, the way an evening schedule does. The run-up fills with whatever still fits whole. And the same film never airs on two channels at once. Commercials, if you want them A library of your own spots plays between programmes. Nothing is fetched, nothing comes from outside. They are your clips. A guide, and reminders The TV guide shows what is on and what follows. Any programme can be set as a reminder, and the app will switch over by itself when it starts. The picture from back then Scanlines, grain, flicker, VHS tracking, tube vignette. Plus reception driven by the real weather: rain brings noise, wind makes the picture roll. Every effect can be switched off on its own. And also Teletext. A parental code for individual channels. A vintage filter. Your phone as a remote on the home network. Picture-in-Picture on the Mac. On all your devices Mac, iPad and Apple TV show the same second of the same programme. Channels, settings and reminders sync over iCloud. Your Jellyfin credentials never leave the device. Requires your own Jellyfin server holding your films and series. 90sTV is a player. It brings no content of its own. 90sTV Premium Yearly subscription, twelve months, renews automatically until cancelled. Lifetime is a one time purchase and does not renew.
