TV Launcher - Live AU Channels
TV Guide & Streaming Shortcuts
$9.99
TV Launcher brings many live Australian TV channels that you know and love into one convenient launcher across Apple platforms. As the perfect app for cord-cutters, it’s never been easier to start watching live channels.
* As featured on iMore & 9to5Mac *
Appleʼs TV app makes it easy to track programmes that have already been on but for the occasions where you want to watch live, it’s not so straightforward. You’ll have to open the app, find where the channels list is within the app, locate the channel you want to watch and the press play.
TV Launcher takes away that pain by combining live channels from across multiple streaming apps into one location. Selecting a channel will then take you directly to the channel in the app without jumping through any hoops!
TV Launcher contains these great features:
AUSTRALIAN STREAMING PLATFORMS
TV Launcher supports many Aussie streaming platforms that have live TV! You’ll be able to jump straight to channels in ABC iview, SBS On Demand, 7plus, 9Now, 10 play, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Plex, DAZN, MUTV, NBA, Sky News, euronews, France 24, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg, CBS and NHK World.
TOP SHELF
You don’t even have to open TV Launcher to get to the channel you want to watch. With the supported Top Shelf extension, you can launch any of the supported channels and even choose to show the current channel listing instead of just the logo. Programmes in your Watchlist can also be added for quick launching from the Home Screen.
SIRI SHORTCUTS
The Apple TV might not support Siri Shortcuts natively but with a linked iPhone or iPad, it's possible to launch channels using an iPhone, iPad, HomePod or Apple Watch using the Shortcuts app and TV Launcher!
LIVE CHANNELS
View what’s on for every channel in one place with full artwork for each channel and the ability to jump into the programme to find out more.
TV GUIDE
Check out a full guide of listings for every channel so you can decide what to watch!
WATCHLIST
Add programmes to your Watchlist and get notified when they’re about to start.
NOW & NEXT
See what's currently on and what will be on straight afterwards.
FAVOURITES
If you have a select few channels you always like to watch, add them to your favourites list.
HIDE CHANNELS
Not interested in the news or don’t have kids? Choose the channels you want to hide and only keep around the ones you’re likely to watch.
ICLOUD SYNCING
Your favourite channels, hidden channels and other settings all sync via iCloud so if you have multiple devices using TV Launcher, they'll all be kept in sync.
REGION
Select your state to get the correct channels and listings for your area.
UNIVERSAL PURCHASE
Get this app across multiple Apple platforms with a single purchase.
