03 — EightyTwo Player · the living room · working title

A precision player for live TV.

For Samsung Smart TVs, 2018 and newer. You bring your own playlists and program guides; the Player brings the speed — instant zapping, a fast fluid guide, and search across tens of thousands of channels. It ships zero content.

In development — already running on real hardware. Paid app.

Capabilities

What it does, exactly.

01

Zapping

Instant channel changes.

Press, and you're there. Changing channels is the whole job of a live-TV player, so it is the thing built first and tuned hardest.

02

Guide

A fast, fluid program guide.

Built to be scrolled, not endured. Your own program guides, rendered at the speed of the remote.

03

Search

Tens of thousands of channels, findable.

Search across everything you've loaded — however large the playlist.

04

Order

Favorites and smart categories.

Your channels, your order — favorites first, and categories that sort themselves.

02 — Zero content

It ships nothing to watch. On purpose.

No catalog, no bundles, no channel deals. The Player is an instrument, not a store — you bring your own playlists and program guides, and it plays them with precision.

Your sources stay yours. The app's only job is to make them fast, legible, and pleasant to use from the couch.

Setup

Nothing is typed with a remote.

Step

Open the Player on your TV.

It shows a QR code and waits.

Step

Scan it with your phone.

The setup moves to the device with a keyboard.

Step

Add playlists and guides there.

Paste, name, done. The TV picks it up on its own.
