About Theia

Theia is an IPTV player for people who already pay for a subscription and want it to feel like real TV. Add an M3U playlist or Xtream login and Theia turns a messy provider list into a guide you can read and a search that forgives typos, finds the game and shows the score.

Streams fix themselves. When one drops, Theia holds the last picture and brings it back, and when one lags, it moves to a better stream of the same channel. Multiview puts up to 9 channels on one screen, and Theia never loses count of the streams an account allows.

Theia is made by Lupo Software LLC in Colorado. It includes no channels and isn’t connected to any provider.
