Frequently Asked Questions

When exactly does my current app stop working?
The current app will stop working at 11:59 PM on March 1, 2026.

Can I use both apps during the transition?
Yes! Once the new app is available, you can install it and test it out while still using your current app. This gives you time to get comfortable with the new interface.

Why can’t my recordings transfer?
This is a technical limitation of the new platform our TV provider is implementing.

Will I lose my channel lineup or subscription?

No. Use your existing Swyft username and password.

What if I have multiple TVs?
You’ll need to install the new app on each device. Make sure to use a unique device name for each one.

What happens if I don’t upgrade by March 1?
Your TV service will stop working. You’ll need to install the new app to restore service.

How much recording space do I have in the new app?
You still have 112 hours of recording space, and recordings are kept for 7 days.

Can I still watch shows I missed?
Yes! The new app lets you go back up to 24 hours in the TV Guide to watch programs you missed.

Absolutely. Call our customer support at (833) 467-9938 and we’ll walk you through the process.
