Guide and Live TV
Scrolling a guide shouldn't cost you the show you're watching. Theia plays your channel in a live preview above the grid, so you can read the whole evening and never lose the picture.
Free The guide, rewind and catch-up are all in the free app.
The preview above the grid keeps playing as you move around with the mouse, the keyboard or a remote. Click a program for its details, a channel to switch, or right-click either for Watch, Preview and Record.
Leave the player and your channel keeps going in the corner, so you can go and look for what's next.
Pick a group, switch between a grid and a list, and go straight to a day or an hour. Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow and the days after sit in a row above the grid.
Your channels, your names. Favorite what you watch, hide what you don't, and call any channel what you actually call it.
Live rewind holds the last few minutes of the channel you're on. Pause, go back, and carry on from where you left off.
Where your provider offers catch-up, the channel carries a small ring in the guide and past programs play from the start.
Live rewind, held for you
What Theia holds depends on the memory your device has.
The mini player puts a channel in a small window that stays on top of your other apps. It's on Windows and Mac.
Make the most of it
Go back from the player and the channel keeps playing in the corner or in the preview. Settings > Playback switches it off.
On Windows, Mac and TV, Live TV and the guide share a screen. A List | Guide switch at the top changes between them, and Theia opens on the one you used last.
Jump to an earlier day or hour. A program with catch-up plays from the start.
Clean up channels hides every country, language and kind you never watch, in one step.
Interface size runs from 80 to 150 percent, so the guide reads from wherever you sit.
Midnight and Daylight are free. Premium adds Slate, OLED Black, Ember, Arctic and accent colors.
From your provider. If your service gives you a separate guide link (XMLTV), add it too and Theia matches it to your channels. Getting started has the steps.
Only where your provider offers it. Those channels carry a small ring in the guide, and a past program you can replay says Watch from start.
About 5 minutes on a computer, about 2 minutes on a TV box and about 1 minute on a stick with 1 to 1.5 GB of memory.
