On Apple TV, the UK’s live channels are spread across different apps, with no one guide to them all. Aeros TV puts every channel in one place, seven days ahead, and one press takes you to what’s on.
In the apps you have, or from your aerial
Most people start with the apps they already use. Add an HDHomeRun and the channels from your aerial play right in Aeros TV as well.
Straight into the channel, in its own app
Choose a channel and Aeros TV takes you to it in its app. Tell it which of these you use, and the guide lists the channels they can open.
- BBC iPlayer
- ITVX
- Channel 4
- My5
- NOW
- Sky Go
- discovery+
- STV Player
- France 24
- Bloomberg
- NHK World
- CNN
You’ll need each app installed on your Apple TV with you signed in, and some, like NOW and Sky Go, need their own subscription.
From your aerial, right in Aeros TV
An HDHomeRun is a small tuner that shares the channels from your aerial over your home network, so any Apple TV in the house can watch them without an aerial socket or set-top box in the room. Aeros TV plays them itself, with pause and rewind.

What’s in Aeros TV
The guide
Seven days of listings for every channel, with pictures and descriptions. Jump to tonight, tomorrow or any day this week, filter by genre, and hold Select on a programme to find out more.
Home
What’s on right now, in pictures, with the big programmes first and then rows for your favourite channels, entertainment, news, sport, kids and films.
Search
Find any programme, film or channel in the week ahead. Type it, use dictation, or type on your iPhone.
Watchlist
Save a programme and its new episodes are added as they’re listed, with a reminder as one starts while you’re using Aeros TV. Programmes stay after they’ve been on, so if you missed one you can watch it in BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4 or My5 while it’s on their catch-up.
Favourites
Heart the channels you watch most and they get a guide of their own, as well as the first row on Home.
Pause live TVWith an HDHomeRun
Pause and rewind up to 30 minutes, skip 10 seconds, and press up or down to change channel. If a channel’s signal starts breaking up, Aeros TV offers to open it in its app instead, and the sound stays in step on HomePod and AirPlay speakers.
Watch from the start
If you’ve tuned in late, start the programme that’s on now from the beginning, in BBC iPlayer.
Kids
Everything on the children’s channels right now, as big pictures, with rows for little ones and older kids.
Your region
Choose your TV region and the guide shows your own BBC One and BBC Two.
On the Home screen
What’s on now and your Watchlist sit in the Top Shelf, above the apps on your Apple TV’s Home screen.
Eight themes, and a guide set up your way
Choose the look that suits your room, from Blossom and Ember to a starry night sky in Seren. You can hide the channels you never watch, put the rest in your own order and choose which screen Aeros TV opens on.
With an HDHomeRun, adult channels stay hidden unless you choose to show them.

Your data stays on your Apple TV
Your settings, favourites and Watchlist are kept on your Apple TV, and what you watch is never sent anywhere. There’s no account to create, and Aeros TV has no adverts or tracking of any kind.
Every Apple TV downloads the same guide, and nothing in the download says who you are or what you watch. Our privacy notice has the detail.

Questions about Aeros TV
The answers come from the app’s own Help. The help page has the rest, and what to do when a channel won’t open.
Do I need an HDHomeRun?
No. Without one, every channel opens in its own app. With one, the channels from your TV aerial play right in Aeros TV, with pause and rewind. Set one up in Settings, under HDHomeRun.
Which apps does it open?
BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, My5, NOW, Sky Go, discovery+, STV Player, France 24, Bloomberg, NHK World and CNN. Tell Aeros TV which ones you use in Settings, under Channels, and the guide lists the channels they can open.
Each app needs to be installed on your Apple TV with you signed in, and some, like NOW and Sky Go, need their own subscription.
Can I watch something that’s already been on?
If it’s on catch-up in BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4 or My5, yes: select it in the TV Guide, or under Already shown in your Watchlist, then Watch in BBC iPlayer (or its app). Aeros TV knows the last week’s programmes. News and live shows often aren’t kept.
Why does an app open without starting the channel?
Some apps don’t let other apps start a channel, so Aeros TV opens the app and you choose the channel there. Channel 4’s app also asks whether to watch from the start or live.
Can I use Aeros TV outside the UK?
The broadcasters’ apps only play their channels in the UK, so outside it most channels won’t play.
