I’m the developer behind ChannelDeck. I started building it because I wanted one television-first app for live channels, movies, series, music, and my own media library without constantly jumping between unrelated apps. Anyone who streams.. knows exactly what I mean by that.

ChannelDeck began as an Android TV IPTV player, but it has grown into an ecosystem… way beyond your current app.. keep reading.. then judge that comment on head to head functionality and appearance.

The main ChannelDeck app handles live TV, movies, series, favorites, reminders, guide data, dvr, multi view and provider-supplied content that syncs your general settings and favorites across all of your devices. Setup one tv, install on your others, enter your provider login info, turn sync on and your done. It does not sell or provide channels. You connect your own legitimate M3U or Xtream Codes source…. Deck does the rest.

ChannelDeck Local is for people who keep media folders on local or network storage but don’t want to run, or know how to run, a separate media server. Point it at your folders and it builds a private visual library for you directly on the Android TV device. Have Plex or Emby? Tired of having to jump from your iptv player to those apps? You don't have to. You can even link your Plex or Emby account to Deck and have it populate your metadata for you.

Like lots of folks I used Plex and also Emby. I got tired of someones “Connection Server” being down and it stopped or delayed accessing my own media, in my own house, on my own servers. I’m not sure about you.. but I find that to be unacceptable.. along with the crazy monthly subscription amounts or one time charge that you can buy a new flat screen for. Not to mention you get about 15 connections then you’re capped and they know your login info. That had to end. So I ended it.

ChannelDeck Network is for people like me, who want a full personal media server. It runs on your own Linux system, organizes movies, television, and music, handles metadata and artwork, supports hardware transcoding, and can stream directly to authorized household devices, friends or family members and you get unlimited connections. Let me say that again.. UNLIMITED. If you want your brother in another country to be able to access and share your own media you can do it… along with whoever else you feel like giving access to. On any Android device they have. TV, tablet, phone, streaming device.. you get the picture) Remote playback travels directly between your server and that device. ChannelDeck does not operate a media relay or carry your personal media through our servers and we never capture personal information, passwords, login data, media data or anything else. Even your account password when you setup your ChannelDeck account is encrypted. Don’t email me telling me you forgot your password.. can’t help, because I can’t see it. I can re-set it and give you a temp that you will immediately have to change, and that becomes encrypted also. Privacy is the basis for this. Too many places and apps capture way to much stuff on way too many people.

ChannelDeck Mobile brings the television experience to Android phones, including live TV from your own provider and direct access to your ChannelDeck Network library. And when I say to your phone I literally mean it. Tired of apps that claim mobile then you see their mobile app, it looks ridiculous and operates like an old calculator from the 90’s. ChannelDeck Mobile is literally a clone of the TV app. The way it looks on the tv.. is the way it looks on your phone, both operationally and aesthetically. Even down to DVR.. Yep you can set a recording on your phone to your network storage… you read that right. We also recently started ChannelDeck Music, a dedicated phone and Android Auto music experience connected to your own Network music library. Music is still in active development and is not released yet.

This has been built through constant real-world testing on Android TV devices, phones, home servers, remote connections, and actual media libraries. I’m not interested in locking basic functionality behind endless subscriptions or collecting people’s viewing habits. The goal is straightforward ownership: your sources, your files, your server, and your household. That is what I expect.. and that is what Deck delivers.

I created [r/ChannelDeck](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChannelDeck/) for development updates, screenshots, setup help, feature discussions, and honest feedback. If this sounds like something you would use, I’d genuinely like to hear which part matters most to you and what you would expect it to do.

Does ChannelDeck have room to improve? Yep. I will be the first to say that. Nothing is perfect.. nothing. But I use real world input from real users, and real people, and put it into a platform that is better for us all… and I will continue to do so.
