Your TV channel’s artwork is the first thing a viewer sees on the living-room screen, so it’s worth refreshing each season. An administrator sets three slots in the Studio. There’s no app update to wait for.

Prepare your files

  • Export the background and banner at exactly the sizes above, so nothing is stretched or cropped on the TV.
  • Keep text and logos away from the edges of the background. The home grid sits on top of it.
  • Keep the splash video short. It plays every time someone opens the channel.
