Answers to everything we get asked: channels, films, recommendations, TVs and every error you might see. Did not find your question? Write to us.
An online cinema and TV in one place: TV channels from around the world with a programme guide, over 20,000 films and 5,000 series, radio. Antenna picks what to watch for your taste and remembers where you stopped on every device.
Yes. Until 10 November 23:59 Moscow time every channel is open. Films and series are always free; the partner's player sometimes shows a short ad. No card needed.
Russian national channels, films and series stay free. Other channels will need a subscription: €0.49 a month, up to three devices at once.
About 900 TV channels, over 900 radio stations, over 20,000 films and 5,000 series. The film catalogue grows every half hour. The channel list by category is on the Channels page.
Yes. A subscription covers up to three devices at once: say, a TV, a phone and a laptop. History, ratings and your place in a film are shared by every device on one account.
We do not make or store programmes. TV channels are broadcasts distributed by the broadcasters and operators themselves. Films and series come from our licensed partner Vibix, and the video plays in its player. More on the Copyright page.
Open the film's page and press Watch. The player opens full screen; go back to the film with the arrow at the top or the Esc key.
Sign in to one account on both. Stopped at 1:41 on the computer: on the TV the button says Continue from 1:41 and the film starts from that minute, a series opens on the same episode. Your place is saved every 30 seconds, on pause and when you close the player.
On the website, in the player's menu: season, episode and dub at the top, quality under the gear at the bottom. On the TV press up on the remote to pick an episode, dub and quality.
Films are free thanks to ads in the partner's player. Usually it is one short clip at the start.
We show the partner's catalogue, which grows every day. Some films are hidden as the law requires. Try searching by the original title or check back in a couple of days.
Ratings come from Kinopoisk and IMDb; click one to open the film there. The quality badge (say, 1080p) shows the best the partner has; you can choose lower in the player if your connection is slow.
Films and series on TV channels now or starting within two hours, sorted for your taste. Click one to open the channel.
We look at what you finish, what you drop, what you rate and save for later. For every film we already know the similar ones: by the meaning of the plot, actors and directors, themes and what other people watch. That builds For you, Because you watched and the other rows.
Rate films on their page: Not for me removes a film for good and pushes similar ones down, Like and Love push similar ones up. After two or three films watched to the end the picks get noticeably better.
Who is watching, which films you like (similar ones appear after each pick) and how to lay out the home page. It takes a minute and tunes the recommendations right away. Run it again with Set up home on the home page or in the TV app settings.
Press Set up home on the home page: choose a ready layout (Antenna picks, Films and series, Television, For the family) or switch blocks on and off and move them yourself. The layout is shared by the website and the TV.
A personal TV channel: from everything on air now across all channels it builds a broadcast for your taste and switches to the next fitting channel after each programme. There is also a plan for the evening.
Yes, when you are signed in to one account. Without signing in each device learns on its own, and after signing in its history moves to the account.
Most channels and all films work without it. An account is needed for sports channels from around the world, a personal playlist for IPTV players, shared recommendations and resume on every device, and TV sign-in.
On the sign-in page press Forgot password? and enter your email. If the email does not arrive within a few minutes, check Spam or write to support.
In your account switch on Adult channels and, if you like, set a four-digit PIN. Without a PIN the channels open at once, with one each time after you sign in.
In your account switch Adult channels off and on again, then set a new PIN. The old one is reset.
In your account, under TV sign-in, press Disconnect next to the TV. Or in the app settings on the TV itself.
Write to support@antenna-tv.com from the email the account uses. We delete it together with the watch history.
In a browser, on a phone, on a Smart TV or a set-top box. Samsung, LG, Android TV and Hisense TVs have our app with channels, films and series; anything else works with any IPTV player. Step by step on the Where to watch page.
Install the free Media Station X, open Start Parameter in its settings, then Setup, and enter antenna-tv.com. A guide with screenshots is on the TV app page.
A free platform for apps on TVs. Antenna opens inside it, so there is nothing else to download.
In the app choose Sign in in the left menu. Point your phone camera at the QR code or open antenna-tv.com/access and enter the code from the screen. No typing a password with the remote.
Sign in on the website and open your account: it has your own M3U playlist link with every channel on our servers, the XMLTV guide and Xtream details. Edit playlist opens the editor: reorder, rename, hide channels and build your own categories, and new channels arrive by themselves. The link stays the same. Films and series are not in the playlist; watch them on the website and in our app.
Servers deliver TV channels from different countries. By default the best one is picked for your country and load. If the picture stutters, choose the server with the lowest ping and load in your account; the best one has a flame. Films are not affected: the partner delivers them.
HD needs 5-8 Mbit/s, Full HD better 10 Mbit/s or more. A cable works better for a TV than Wi-Fi.
Yes. The app runs on Samsung from 2018 and LG from webOS 4. On Samsung before 2022 and LG before 2021 the film player goes through our adapter, so the first start can take a couple of seconds longer.
Yes. Media Station X is in the Microsoft Store as an app for Xbox and Windows 10 and later. Install it and enter antenna-tv.com just like on a TV.
A channel starts when its first viewer switches it on, which takes up to 15 seconds. Popular channels run all the time and start at once. If it has been more than 20 seconds, press Try again.
The channel's source did not answer or sent video in a format the browser cannot play. Press Try again, pick another server in your account or open the channel in an IPTV player. If that does not help, press Report under the player: we get reports at once and after two in a day the channel leaves recommendations until it is fixed.
The channel is free but opens only after signing in, as with sports channels from around the world. Signing up takes a minute.
You have not switched such channels on. You can do it in your account if you are 18 or older.
You set a PIN on adult channels. It is asked once per session. Forgot it: switch Adult channels off and on in your account and set a new one.
Subscription required will appear after 10 November on channels outside the free package. Channel unavailable means we have hidden the channel for now, usually because its source is down.
Our server shows a slate when it cannot let you in: too many devices at once (close the channel on another device), access blocked, subscription ended or the channel has no signal. The no signal slate goes away by itself when the source returns.
This message comes from the partner's player: the dub you chose or the film itself is not available in your region right now. Pick another dub in the player's menu or try later. If every film says so, reload the page.
Resume works between devices on one account: sign in on both. Your place is saved every 30 seconds and on pause, so after a sudden power cut it may go back half a minute. If you nearly finished (the last couple of minutes), the film starts over.
The station's stream did not answer. It usually comes back within minutes; meanwhile switch to another. We check and refresh station links every 6 hours.
Check the keyboard layout and the email. After several failed attempts sign-in closes for a few minutes to stop password guessing. If you forgot the password, use Forgot password?.
The link works for a limited time and only once. Request a new email on the sign-in page.
The TV code works for 10 minutes and only once. Press New code on the TV. Codes have no O or I and no digits that look like them. If it says Too many attempts, wait a couple of minutes.
Something broke means an error on our side: we see it in the log, reload the page in a minute. No such page means the link is out of date or the address has a typo.
Most likely we are updating the website right then: it takes about a minute. If it lasts longer, your provider may have blocked the site: open one of our mirrors or write to us on Telegram.
The TV cannot reach Antenna. Check that it is online: open any other app. The app retries by itself every few seconds.
The channel's source did not answer. Press Retry, switch channels with the arrows or pick another server in the app settings.
The broadcast is not running at the broadcaster or the source right now. It usually returns within a few minutes.
The TV lost the internet. The video carries on by itself when the connection returns, and you see Connection restored.
The partner's player did not start within 30 seconds. Press OK to try again or up to pick another dub. We receive the start log automatically and look into such cases.
Some TVs do not let a video start with sound by itself. Then we start it muted so you do not have to wait. Press OK and the sound comes on.
This happens on older TVs that do not trust modern certificates. Update the TV firmware. If that does not help, write to us with the model.
That is normal: Media Station X asks permission to open the app. Press Continue. To stop the question, switch off Validate Links in Media Station X settings.
Offline means the server has not checked in for over two minutes and we no longer send viewers there. Not responding means your browser or TV could not reach it, possibly blocked by your provider. Pick another one or keep Automatic.
The player failed the access check: the playlist link was copied incompletely, is out of date or too many devices are open on your account. Copy the link from your account again and close extra devices.
The channel was removed or changed its number. Refresh the playlist in the player and the list updates.
Too many requests in a row, for example refreshing the sign-in code often or flipping through channels fast. Wait a minute and the limit lifts by itself.
The server could not deliver the stream: the channel's source is not answering or the server is overloaded. Wait a few seconds and retry, switch channels or pick another server.
Check that the link is copied in full, without spaces. If the player asks for Xtream, enter the server, login and password from your account. Some players need a restart after adding a playlist.
That is normal for channels nobody is watching right now: the server starts them on the first request, which takes up to 15 seconds. The channel keeps running for 45 seconds after you switch away, so coming back quickly is instant.
Write to us with the form on the Contacts page and choose Suggestion. We check it and add it if the broadcast is available.
Your email and account settings, plus what and how long you watch and where you stopped, so recommendations and resume work. We do not sell data or pass it to ad networks.
