Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free web app plays recorded video from seventeen themed retro-TV streams, with an Android edition also available.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-03 issue.

For: Retro-TV channel surfers and archival-video browsers
Worth noticing: Programs link to their original Internet Archive pages, and channel changes work by swipe, mouse wheel, or arrow keys.

Field notes

Controls include saved channels, sound, and fullscreen, so the page presents more than a passive video embed. Its guide spans formats as well as eras: alongside decade-based channels, it lists commercials, newsreels, game shows, public access, and home movies. The site names Elliott Owen Lipinsky as its independent creator and links to About, Support, and Privacy pages.
