No channels included: you bring your own service.

Made for the TVs you have

Bring your own service

The player, not the provider.

Point CouchZen at the subscription you already pay for. It brings the order, the pictures and the calm.

Live TV

Live TV that behaves like television.

A guide you can read from the sofa, channels in a sensible order and a remote that does what you expect.

  • A full TV guide (EPG) with programme pictures.
  • Catch-up where your provider offers it: start from the beginning or replay what aired.
  • Pause and rewind live TV, up to an hour, on Apple TV and Android TV.
  • Fast channel switching, and instant switching when your subscription allows two connections.
  • Tidy channel names and logos, with channels grouped by country.

Films and series

Your library, with the posters it always deserved.

CouchZen matches your provider's films and series to posters and details, and lays them out in calm rows.

  • Posters, artwork, summaries and cast for films and series.
  • Continue watching, right where you stopped.
  • The best version picked for you: the right quality, your language, and Dolby Vision or Atmos where your TV supports them.
  • Your languages first, so titles you can follow come before the rest.

For everyone on the couch

Comfortable for the whole household.

The subtitle look strip over a playing film: size, background, position and style, with a large yellow subtitle below.

Subtitles your way

Size, background, position and style, kept per profile. Teletext and captions, two subtitles at once, and online subtitles when a film comes without.

Who's watching: four profiles, the kids profile chosen.

A profile for everyone

Each person keeps their own languages, lists and progress. A kids profile shows only films, series and channels made for children, and a PIN can lock any profile.

Every detail, considered

The small things that make an evening of television go smoothly.

Questions, answered

Does CouchZen include channels?

No. CouchZen is a player. It comes with no channels, films or subscriptions of its own: you sign in with a lawful IPTV service you already have.

Which services work?

Any service that gives you an Xtream Codes login (a server, username and password) or an M3U playlist address. If your playlist comes with an XMLTV guide address, add it for the TV guide.

Which TVs?

Samsung, LG webOS, Android TV and Google TV, Fire TV and Apple TV. A few things depend on the TV: pausing live TV is on Apple TV and Android TV, and Dolby Vision appears where the TV can show it.

Is my login safe?

Your login is kept on your TV and used to talk to your provider. When you set up from your phone, what you type is encrypted end to end on its way to the TV; our relay passes it on without being able to read or keep it.

Can kids use it?

Yes. A kids profile shows only films, series and channels made for children, and any profile can be locked with a four-digit PIN.
