Straight answers about how TV Studio One works.
TV Studio One requires iOS 17 or later. It runs on iPhone and iPad. A Mac Catalyst build is on the roadmap.
No. There is no account, no sign-in, and no email registration. Open the app and the UK Freeview schedule loads automatically.
TV Studio One only shows what its broadcaster reports in the EPG. If a programme isn't listed, it's almost always because the broadcaster hasn't published it. Pull down on the schedule to force a refresh.
Sports: live sporting events and sports-radio output. Movies: feature films and made-for-TV movies. Faith: religious channels, worship, and faith-themed programming. Talk: chat shows, panel shows, and sports-talk shows. Custom: everything else, sortable by twelve content genres in Settings. Favourites: heart a title and every future airing appears here — across days, channels and repeats.
Tap the programme to open Programme Details, then tap Reclassify. Pick the genre you'd prefer, and your choice is remembered permanently. You can revert to automatic at any time from the same menu.
Open Settings (the gear icon in the top right). Enable the services you subscribe to under Subscription Services. Their channels will then appear in every tab alongside Freeview channels.
Tap the bell icon on any programme that hasn't started yet. TV Studio One schedules a local iOS notification ten minutes before the programme begins. Tap the bell again to cancel.
The bell only shows when there's still time to set a useful reminder — i.e. when the programme is more than ten minutes from starting. Already-aired programmes and imminent ones don't show one.
Check Settings → Notifications → TV Studio One on your device. The first time you set a reminder, iOS asks for permission; if you decline, no notifications can be delivered until you turn permission back on in iOS Settings.
No. TV Studio One works fully without one — it falls back to heuristic detection. An API key simply improves classification accuracy for unusual or ambiguous programmes.
You can add your own key for Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), or Google (Gemini). All three offer pay-as-you-go pricing. Get keys at console.anthropic.com, platform.openai.com, or aistudio.google.com.
Approximately 1–5 pence per day. Each programme title is sent only once and cached permanently on your device, so cost is bounded by the size of the daily schedule and shrinks over time as the cache fills.
Go to Settings and clear your key there. It is removed from the iOS Keychain immediately. You can also revoke it at the source in your provider's console.
Open a live sporting event and tap Live scorecard. Team sports show the current score; ranked sports like Formula 1 and golf show a leaderboard. Pull Refresh for the latest. The free version reads scores via AI web search — accurate to when you open or refresh.
Optional. Add your own key for a sports-data provider (Settings → Premium Live Data) for a faster, real live feed. API-Sports has a free tier that covers live football and Formula 1. Use "Test connection" to confirm your key works. Any sport not yet served by a premium provider falls back to the free AI scorecard automatically.
No. TV Studio One only ever shows scores, results and leaderboards — never betting odds or gambling information, by design.
None. We have no servers, accounts, analytics or tracking. See our Privacy Policy for exactly what leaves your device when you use the optional AI and live-score features.
