MYTF1 is now TF1+. Learn how TF1+ Premium offline downloads work, check device support and replay limits, and understand why MP4 export is not official.
MYTF1 became TF1+ in 2024, so a myTF1 download search now leads to the TF1+ app or site. Eligible titles can use TF1+ offline viewing in the official app; Windows and Mac readers who need a portable file can consider an authorized MP4/MKV workflow.
The practical choice is simple: use the official copy when your plan and title support it, or use a desktop file workflow for content you are authorized to access. I will connect the old MYTF1 name to today’s TF1+ replay service, map the device routes, and then show the MP4/MKV option without mixing it up with the app’s offline feature.
If you also watch French public-service replays, the France.tv download guide and our myCANAL offline guide cover similar platform-specific choices.
MYTF1 Is Now TF1+: What Changed
MYTF1 is the legacy name; TF1+ is the current service and app identity for TF1 live channels and TF1+ replay. Older pages may still say myTF1, but the current labels, store listings, and account journey use TF1+.
The rename matters for a myTF1 download because searching the old name can surface outdated instructions. Open the TF1+ website or the current app, sign in with the account that holds the relevant entitlement, and look for the title’s available playback or download controls.
TF1+ Free vs Premium Offline Access
TF1+ streaming free gives access to a changing catalog with advertising, while Premium entitlements can add an ad-free experience and offline eligibility for supported titles. The exact button you see depends on the plan, title, and region.
Free viewing and Premium benefits
A search for “myTF1 download free” often assumes that any replay can become a free file. In practice, the free tier is designed for online viewing, while Premium benefits apply only where the account and title are eligible. The official app is the cleanest way to see those entitlements.
| Option | Access | Ads | Offline copy | Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TF1+ Free | Free streaming | Ad-supported | Title-dependent | In-app playback |
| TF1+ Premium | Paid entitlement | Ad-free where included | Eligible titles | In-app playback |
| StreamGaGa local-file workflow | Authorized desktop path | Ad-free playback | Local file | MP4 or MKV |
That table is a decision aid, not a promise that every program has the same rights. For a title that does not expose the offline control, the next step is to use another currently available title or the authorized desktop workflow described below.
Official offline downloads and limits
The official TF1+ app can advertise episode downloads for eligible users, creating an in-app copy for offline viewing. A search such as “myTF1 replay download offline Android” should therefore start in the official Android app, where the download icon and playback window are tied to the account and title.
An in-app copy is not the same as a portable MP4 or MKV file. Replay Windows, regional rights, and plan entitlements can end access to a title; when that happens, use the TF1+ catalog’s currently available episode rather than trying to defeat the restriction.
Where to Watch TF1+ on Your Devices
The TF1+ Android app, iPhone and iPad app, computer browser, smart-TV app, and supported TV-box route each begin with the official store or TF1+ website. My practical pick is the official app for a phone or television, while a browser is the simplest route on a PC or Mac.
| Device | Official route | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Android phone or tablet | Google Play | App access; title rights apply |
| iPhone or iPad | App Store | App access; offline control varies |
| PC or Mac | TF1+ website | Browser playback and account sign-in |
| Smart TV | TV app store | Install when the model is supported |
| TV box | Official store listing | Android TV support varies by device |
For a TF1 app download, use the store listing that matches the device.
Phone and tablet apps
On Android, install TF1+ from Google Play; on iPhone or iPad, use the App Store. After signing in, the app shows which TF1+ replay titles have playback or offline controls for that account. This is the shortest path for mobile viewing and keeps the copy inside the app.
PC, Mac, smart TV, and TV boxes
Use the TF1+ website in a current browser on Windows or Mac, or install the app from a supported smart-TV or TV-box store. Hardware menus differ, so the official listing is the reliable route for compatibility. If a TV app is unavailable, a supported browser or HDMI-connected computer can provide the viewing path without pretending that every model has the same app.
Save Authorized TF1+ Videos as MP4 or MKV
For personal offline viewing of content you are authorized to access, where permitted by platform terms and applicable law, StreamGaGa MPD Downloader offers a desktop route to an MP4 or MKV file. This is different from an in-app TF1+ offline copy: the local-file workflow is intended for authorized cross-device playback on Windows or macOS, while title access still depends on the source and current support.
In a Windows 11 and Chrome workflow with a fixed local output folder, I keep the URL analysis, format selection, and local playback check together; that makes it easier to spot a file-format issue before moving the file to another device. The product also supports batch jobs, subtitle download, subtitle-language selection, audio-language selection, metadata writing, and ad-free playback, but those options remain subject to the source.
- Install StreamGaGa MPD Downloader on Windows or macOS.
- Paste the URL of an eligible TF1+ video.
- Choose MP4 or MKV and start the authorized export.
Install StreamGaGa MPD Downloader
Download the current desktop installer from the StreamGaGa website, then open StreamGaGa MPD Downloader on Windows or macOS. Because streaming interfaces change, the current update log and troubleshooting guidance are the right place to resolve a compatibility difference.
Paste the TF1+ video URL
Open the authorized TF1+ title in a browser, copy its URL, and select the app’s paste-URL control. This is the practical “Download video from TF1” route for a local file, provided the account and source permit the operation.
Choose output and start
Select MP4 or MKV, review the available subtitle and audio options, and start the job. The resulting TF1+ MP4 download is a local file for playback on your own compatible devices; quality follows the source, subscription tier, region, and current platform support.
When the export completes, open the file in a local player before organizing it. In the Windows 11/Chrome workflow described above, that playback check is the observable handoff from the desktop queue to a usable local file.
TF1+ Download FAQs
Can I install TF1+ on an Android phone or Android TV?
Yes, start with Google Play on an Android phone or tablet and the official store listing on Android TV.
Can I save a TF1+ replay as an MP4 file on Windows or Mac?
The official app’s offline copy stays inside TF1+. For an authorized TF1+ MP4 download on Windows or Mac, StreamGaGa MPD Downloader can create an MP4 or MKV local file when the source and platform terms allow it.
Why is a replay unavailable in my region or after a few days?
TF1+ replay rights vary by catalog, licensing, region, plan, and the title’s replay window. That is why a search for TF1 English may show a different catalog than a French account. Choose a title currently offered to your account rather than attempting to defeat a regional or time limit.
Does TF1+ Premium remove ads and include offline viewing?
Premium can include ad-free viewing and offline eligibility for supported titles, while TF1+ streaming free remains the ad-supported route. Open the title in the current TF1+ app to see which entitlement is attached to your account.
What is the difference between TF1+ and the old MYTF1 app?
MYTF1 is the former name; TF1+ is the current service and app identity. A myTF1 download query may still surface old wording, but the current app, website, and store search should use TF1+.
A Practical TF1+ Offline Viewing Plan
Use the official TF1+ download control when your account, title, and device are eligible. Choose a local MP4/MKV workflow only when you need authorized cross-device playback on Windows or Mac and the source permits it.
- Open the current TF1+ app or website and confirm that the title is available to your account.
- Use the in-app offline option when it meets your viewing needs.
- For an authorized local file, use the StreamGaGa desktop download workflow, then consult its update log or troubleshooting guide if compatibility differs.
That split keeps the decision clear: TF1+ handles its own app-based offline entitlement, while StreamGaGa MPD Downloader addresses the separate need for a portable MP4 or MKV file within the permissions that apply to the content.
