Three ways to get it

How to get Premium

As a subscription through Google Play or the Amazon Appstore, or with a single payment via direct purchase: it's the same Premium.

What Premium unlocks

Six unlocked features

The free version already covers live TV, the guide and a week of replay. Premium adds what requires paid services on our side or a longer archive at your provider.

Replays beyond 7 days

The past week replays for free. When your provider keeps a longer archive, Premium opens older programmes, up to 31 days back, resuming where you left off. If your provider's archive doesn't go past 7 days, this feature adds nothing: it's all free already.

Up to 31 daysProvider-dependentResume

Replay search across all your channels

Search for a film, show or match among the programmes already aired on all your channels at once, without browsing them one by one. The result takes you straight to the right programme to replay.

Online subtitles

No subtitles on your film or episode? Premium searches for and downloads them (OpenSubtitles) right inside the player, in the language you want, with fine offset adjustment to line them up perfectly.

Rotten Tomatoes & Metacritic ratings

Critics' verdicts appear on the movie or series page, next to the IMDb rating (free), so you can choose what to watch before you hit play.

Downloads and scheduled recordings

Download movies, episodes and replays to watch offline, and schedule a programme's recording from the guide. Anything already downloaded stays playable, even without Premium. Recording the live channel you're watching is free.

Enriched episode details

Titles, synopses and images for every episode in a season, even when your provider only delivers “Episode 1, Episode 2…”.

Premium questions

Good to know

Do I have to pay to use Chaipa?
No. Chaipa is free: live TV, movies, series, search, favourites, TV guide and replay of the last 7 days. Premium is entirely optional.
Does the trial need a card?
No. The 30-day trial starts automatically, no card and no commitment. At the end, you return to the free version if you don't subscribe.
Do I have to pay for the TV guide?
No. The guide (current programme and upcoming days) and replay of the last 7 days are free. Coverage depends on your provider's and the community's data; Chaipa automatically fills poorly covered channels where possible.
What if my provider has no catch-up?
Replay relies on what your provider makes available: without catch-up on their side, there's nothing to replay, free or Premium. Online subtitles, critic ratings, downloads and episode details stay useful either way.
How do I cancel?
Anytime, from Google Play (Subscriptions) or from your Amazon account (Your Apps & Subscriptions → Subscriptions), depending on where you subscribed. You keep Premium until the end of the current period.
