Provide Channels with a source.

Channels is not a streaming provider. Channels works with existing sources of live TV or personal media. Add live TV via your antenna or cable with a TV tuner. Sign in with your cable or streaming provider. Or even add your own live streaming channels. Mix and match to get as many channels as you can.


Add your personal media.

Add content to your Channels library directly from your computer's hard drive. Your personal media is automatically indexed with art and metadata and ready to watch right away.
