About KimberPlay
KimberPlay is player software that turns an M3U playlist, Xtream login or Stalker portal into a television-style app: live channels with a program guide, movies and series with artwork, search, and a Sports Hub that matches fixtures to the user’s own channels. It is free to use with one playlist; KimberPlay Plus adds recording, catch-up, multi-view, multiple playlists and more for $9.99 a year or $29.99 once, on up to five devices. KimberPlay includes no channels or content and does not sell, recommend or partner with any IPTV service.

- Plus features: DVR recording (TV and desktop), catch-up (provider-dependent), multi-view of up to four channels (TV), multiple playlists, reminders, backup and restore, skins, optional Cloud Sync and a phone remote (TV).
- Privacy: the library is stored on the device and playback connects directly to the provider; optional services are described on the privacy page.
Per-platform availability is in the feature matrix.
