TV guide

What’s on tonight?

Every channel, hour by hour, like the guide that lived on the coffee table. Pick a show and set a reminder. Your Apple TV switches on when it’s time.

Broadcast

Even the commercials are back

Commercial breaks, from your own archives. Teletext on page 100, right where you left it in 1994. Static when you change the channel and bad reception when it storms.

Too real? Turn any of it off.

Short answers for quick questions

What to know before you turn 90sTV on

All you need to know about servers, devices, privacy and purchase.

What is 90sTV?

90sTV creates always-on television channels from your Jellyfin library with a fixed schedule. The schedule keeps running while the app is closed and shows the same programme at the same time on every device.

Do I need a Jellyfin server?

Yes. 90sTV plays media from your own Jellyfin server and does not include a streaming catalogue of its own.

Which devices does 90sTV run on?

The television channels run on Apple TV, Mac and iPad. On iPhone, you get the TV guide, reminders, remote control and widget.

Do I need a 90sTV account?

No. There is no separate 90sTV account. Your Jellyfin credentials are not sent to 90sTV.

What is synced through iCloud?

Channels, programming preferences and reminders sync through your private iCloud. Your Jellyfin credentials stay on the device.

Is 90sTV a subscription?

Yes and no. 90sTV is offered as a lifetime purchase or yearly subscription for the supported Apple devices.

Your server, your library

90sTV does not fetch or send your media anywhere

It connects only to your own Jellyfin server. There are no 90sTV accounts, no outside catalogues and no adverts unless they come from your own folder. Your channels and reminders stay in your private iCloud and travel from one device to another.
