BackWhenTV

Windows

A full BackWhenTV app for Windows 10 and 11: every channel, including the live Pluto channels and the weather channel, with keyboard and mouse control.

  1. Download. Open the downloads page on GitHub. Under Assets, pick BackWhenTV-Setup-….exe (installs like a normal program) or BackWhenTV-Portable-….exe (runs without installing).
  2. Run it. Windows may say "Windows protected your PC" because the app is new and not yet signed. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
  3. Watch. Open BackWhenTV. Press Enter for the guide.
Download for Windows

Keys: Up/Down = channel up/down · Enter or G = guide · 0-9 = go to a channel · F = full screen · M = mute · Esc = close the guide. You can also click and use the mouse wheel to change channels.

Stuck?

Can't run it, or it will not start

Use the web player in the meantime. It runs in any modern browser, with the Internet Archive channels.

How do I update?

Download the newest installer from the same page and run it. It replaces the old version.
