About this app

ChannelDeck is a television-first media player for Android TV, Google TV, NVIDIA Shield, and compatible Fire TV devices.

Connect media sources you are authorized to use, then watch live television, browse a full program guide, explore supplied Movies and Series libraries, record programs to your own network storage, or watch multiple live channels at once.

FIRE TV COMPATIBILITY
ChannelDeck supports sideloading on compatible Fire TV devices. DVR recording and Multi-view require Fire OS 8 on Android API 30 or newer. ChannelDeck disables those two workloads on older Fire OS versions because testing showed they can restart older hardware. Other supported ChannelDeck features remain available.

ChannelDeck does not provide, host, sell, recommend, or distribute television channels, subscriptions, playlists, or third-party media. You must supply your own legally obtained and authorized sources. Feature availability depends on the information, stream formats, connection limits, and media supplied by your source. Screenshots use fictional demonstration content.
