Your Plex library,
on live TV.
Cable Box turns your movies and shows into channels that are already playing when you tune in. A real program guide, channel surfing, and the feel of cable, on Apple TV.
Free · Apple TV 4K · Needs a Plex Media Server
Everything cable had.
None of the bill.
Cable Box builds channels from what's already on your Plex server and schedules them like a network would. Every Apple TV in the house agrees on what's airing.
-
Channels down the side, a timeline across the top, and a live preview of what's on. Scroll ahead to see what's next, or pick something that aired earlier to watch it from the start.
-
Make your own channels from genres, studios, ratings, collections, and keywords. It counts what a channel would air as you go.
-
Swipe down while you watch to see what's on the channels around you, and jump straight to one, without leaving full screen.
-
Starter channels from your library, ready on day one. Reorder, renumber, hide, and add filler and ad breaks between shows.
Feels like cable.
Runs on your TV.
Already playing when you tune in
Every channel runs on a schedule, so turning to one drops you into the middle of whatever's airing, just like real TV. Every Apple TV in the house works out the same schedule on its own.
Flip channels like it's 1995
Swipe up and down to change channels. While the next one loads, an old TV's picture rolls or tears through the static, or cuts to black. Pick the look you like.
One lineup, every room
Your channels and settings sync through your iCloud account to every Apple TV on the same Apple ID.
A remote that acts like one
Up and down change channels, Select pauses, and Back brings up the controls, like the cable box you remember.
Nothing collected
No accounts, analytics, or tracking. Video streams straight from your Plex server, at home or away.
Grab the remote.
Cable Box is free on the App Store for every Apple TV 4K.
