Got a question about Back When TV, or spotted something on this site that needs fixing? The fastest way to reach us and other readers is through the discussion on this site itself.

Use the comments and discussions

Every article on this site has a discussion area under it. That is where we read feedback, answer install questions, and hear which channels you are watching. Ask your question under the article closest to your topic: the install walkthrough for setup problems, the channel breakdown for programming questions, or the free and safe page for trust questions. Other readers often answer before we do, and a public answer helps the next person with the same problem.

What we can and cannot help with

We can help with anything about the content on this site: wrong facts, outdated install steps, a channel we described badly, a device we forgot. Tell us what you saw and where, and we will check it against the official source and fix it.

We cannot help with the app itself. We do not run BackWhenTV, so we cannot fix buffering, restore a channel, or add a show you miss. Requests like that belong with the app's own community board, which is channel 1 inside the app, and with the official site's support route. The same goes for donations: support for the app goes through the official site, never through us.

Channel requests and suggestions

Readers often write in asking for a missing show or a channel idea, like a specific year of Saturday morning cartoons. We enjoy reading them and we pass the popular ones along in our coverage, but please understand we cannot add channels ourselves. The app's own community board, channel 1 inside the app, is where the maker reads requests directly.

Corrections policy

BackWhenTV is a young, fast-changing project. Channel counts, versions and install routes can shift. If you think a page here is out of date, drop a note in that page's discussion with what you found. Verified corrections go up with a thank-you in the discussion.
