DISCOVER A NEW KIND OF UNITY ↓
NO SEPARATE LIVE TV APP. NO DISCONNECTED MOVIE WORLD.
One home for everything.01 / THE UNITY EXPERIENCE
One TV screen. Every kind of entertainment.
Unity is Signal’s foundation: Live TV is the home you can always return to, while movies, shows, recommendations, previews and media details live alongside it. Explore a film profile without losing the context behind it, move between the channel grid and cinematic catalogs, and return naturally to the television experience that started it all. Unity is a shared environment, not a stack of isolated destinations.
One connected surface • Context preserved • Shared navigation
02 / LIVE TELEVISION
Live TV belongs right beside your movies.
Watch your channels in a rich visual grid or explore what’s on through a detailed electronic program guide. Move between channel categories, live previews and scheduled programming without leaving Signal’s unified environment.
Visual grid • EPG • Categories • Now & next
03 / MOVIES & SERIES
A cinematic way to find what’s next.
Choose the way you explore: classic poster rows or the immersive 3D Cover Flow with reflective glass-floor styling. Resume your stories, browse recommendations and open rich title profiles in place.

06 / PREVIEWS & TRAILERS

From Live TV to full cinematic artwork—your choice.
Unity can take on different personalities. Keep the channel-first dashboard in focus, or make the entire screen feel like a movie and TV show universe with expansive background artwork and immersive title themes. Choose Classic rows or 3D Cover Flow, change ambient styles and visual intensity, organize channels, and tailor the player. Your navigation stays familiar even when the atmosphere changes.

Your services, in one place.
Connect supported debrid services for compatible on-demand source resolution, and integrate services such as Trakt for watchlists and viewing continuity. Signal is a player and discovery interface—not a bundled library of third-party content.

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND SIGNAL
Entertainment isn't a collection of apps. It's one experience.
We built Signal around a simple conviction: television shouldn't be fragmented. A channel you're watching, a film you're curious about, a trailer, a cast member, and the next episode should feel like parts of the same story. Unity keeps discovery, live programming and playback in conversation with each other—without sending you through a maze of disconnected interfaces.
The living room starts with television.
Visual channel cards, a full electronic program guide, categories, Now & Next information and the Quick Guide work together. Live previews give you a glimpse of what's on while the same interface stays ready for a movie, a show or a favorite channel.
Channel gridQuick GuideEPGPreviewsTimeshift
Trakt, Resume and your watch journey.
Bring connected Trakt watchlists and recommendations into discovery. Resume movies and episodes from where you left off, follow your favorites and keep your viewing history relevant. The goal is continuity, not starting over each time you browse.
TraktResumeFavoritesWatchlists
A media profile with a world inside.
Signal's VOD overlay brings cast portraits and the cast wall, episode cards, ratings, trailers, artwork, favorites and source actions into one layered media experience. Discover the people behind a title without losing the surrounding catalog.

Powered throughout by AetherEngine.
AetherEngine is Signal's common playback foundation for Live TV, previews, movies and shows. Live timeshift provides a window to navigate recent programming, while on-demand caching helps manage playback data. Cache behavior, source compatibility and available controls vary by build and stream.

Debrid and MediaFlow at the app level.
Connect supported debrid accounts to resolve your own compatible on-demand sources. Signal also supports app-level MediaFlow Proxy configuration—including regular and Light variants—so eligible traffic can use your configured proxy across supported playback paths, rather than requiring a separate proxy setting inside each individual add-on. Routing still depends on the source and integration.

Unity can change its entire mood.
Keep the classic Live TV-centered atmosphere or let movies and shows fill the experience with cinematic artwork. Explore visual themes, ambient effects, 3D Cover Flow, classic poster rows, transparency and player preferences. Customization changes the presentation without breaking the underlying Unity.

BUILT TO KEEP EVOLVING
The next chapter of Unity.
Signal is an actively developed Apple TV experience. Ongoing work includes smoother Live TV joins, stronger playback recovery, more responsive artwork, improved autoplay and Up Next, richer transparent media profiles, and expanded personalization. We build around real-world feedback and test changes before treating them as finished.

Apple TV installation has been used through Signulous during testing. Installation availability and requirements depend on Signulous and the build being distributed. We look forward to future Apple TV hardware, but performance on unreleased devices cannot be promised before testing.
