Legato

For your own IPTV subscription

Live TV that just plays.

Legato is a fast, stall-proof player for your Xtream IPTV subscription. A TV guide like the best TV apps, channel changes in about a second, catch-up, and films and series you’ll actually enjoy browsing. On your TV, phone, tablet and computer, and free.

Legato's TV guide: the channel playing in a preview at the top left, the programme's details beside it, and a grid of channels and programmes below with a line marking now.

Live TV first

It feels like a TV, not an app

Legato opens straight into Live TV and gets out of the way. Speed and an unbroken picture come before everything else.

A guide like the best TV apps

  • The picture keeps playing in a preview while you browse the guide.
  • Smooth with thousands of channels and a week of programmes.
  • Your groups, your way: favourites, hidden and reordered groups, channel numbers per group or your provider’s.
  • Search across channels, programmes, films and series as you type.

Instant channel changes, stall-proof playback

  • Channel changes in about a second on a good stream. Hold Up or Down to surf: the banner keeps up, and Legato tunes once you stop.
  • Rides out bad streams. Legato’s buffering adapts to the stream, so a stutter loop becomes the odd short wait, and it reconnects by itself.
  • Honest about it: “Steadying stream” or “Reconnecting” instead of a spinner, and a Stream stats panel with a health score for the curious.
  • Kind to one-connection accounts: Legato never opens a second stream behind your back.

What you see over the picture

  • Steadying stream · 6sBuilding a cushion before it plays on, with a countdown
  • Reconnecting…The connection dropped; what’s buffered is kept
  • 12s behind · Go liveAfter a pause or a stall: one press to catch up
  • Health 96 · looks greatStream stats: speed, cushion, resolution, audio

Catch-up from the guide

  • Watch earlier programmes on channels where your provider keeps an archive (marked in the guide with a rewind clock).
  • Rewind, fast-forward and scrub through the programme, start it over, or jump back to live.
  • Pause live TV for a moment and pick up where you left it, or jump back to live.

Films and series, like a streaming service

  • Big artwork and rows that make sense: Continue watching, Next up, New on your provider, genres and My List.
  • Picks up where you left off, and offers the next episode before the credits.
  • Better artwork, ratings and recommendations from your own viewing, matched from TMDB.Coming
