How to Set Up UHF
UHF runs on Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, Mac. Built for the Apple ecosystem rather than ported to it, which shows in how it handles a very large catalogue. Playlist or portal, entered directly.
Built for Apple rather than ported to it
The difference shows in exactly one place, and it is the place that matters: how the interface behaves when a catalogue runs to tens of thousands of entries. Players ported from Android tend to stall there; this one was written for the platform it runs on.
Step by step
No registration stage, which is why this list is shorter in practice than it looks.
- Install it on the device you actually watch onNothing needs registering and nothing will be tied to that hardware, so you can install it in several places freely.
- Open it once before adding anythingIt writes its profile on first launch. Adding a line to a player that has never been opened is what corrupts that profile.
- Add the line in the shape it was issuedA playlist is one long address. A portal is a host with a name and a code. Do not convert between them; ask for the other shape instead if you need it.
- Let the catalogue finish loadingA large catalogue takes a moment the first time. A player that looks frozen is usually just reading.
- Set the guide time zone by nameThe same rule on every player: a place, not a number of hours.
- Test at your normal viewing hourOn the screen you actually use, not on a phone in another room.
A player is useless without a line to put in it. Twenty-four hours of the real service on your own devices, no card, nothing to cancel.
Rules that hold whichever player you pick
A named zone carries its own clock changes. An offset in hours does not, so a setup correct today is wrong after the next change.
A large catalogue takes a moment on first open. Forcing the player closed while it reads is what corrupts a profile.
Install the line anywhere you like, but only one screen plays at once. Extra screens are separate accounts at a reduced rate, said here rather than after you pay.
We publish no application on any platform. Your player is your choice, and nothing of ours stays behind if you leave.
Check the line, not just the player
When something does not appear, the question is always whether the player is at fault or the line is. These read any line from any provider, ours included, without an account, and they answer that in under a minute.
