What it is for

A client for your own TV server

Tvheadend is a server that receives TV and radio (DVB-T2/S2, IPTV…), builds the TV guide and records. Headent Client is the app you watch it all through — connect to your server and have live broadcast, the guide, radio and recordings at hand.

It runs on phone and on Android TV / set-top boxes. On a box you get a full interface controlled by the remote — no mouse, no compromises.
