Import a TVBox Subscription
When importing a TVBox subscription, ChiTV imports only CMS sources with type=1 for on-demand playback and M3U sources with type=0 for live TV. Syncing adds new sources without deleting existing ones.

The in-app update check points to the ChiTV release repository and prompts when a new version is available. If you’re using v0.1.3, you’ll need to install the latest version manually.
