How to Export Your TV Time Data Before It's Gone

Updated 2026-07-08 · Stub

With the announcement of TV Time shutting down on July 15, 2026, many users are understandably concerned about losing their precious watch history that they've meticulously maintained over the years. If you're one of those avid TV show enthusiasts who has relied on TV Time to track your favorite series, it's time to act swiftly. Fortunately, you can export your TV Time data and import it into Stub, an alternative app that not only preserves your data but also enhances your viewing experience on web, iOS, and Android.

Why Exporting Your TV Time Data Matters

TV Time has been a go-to app for millions, offering a seamless way to track episodes, rate shows, and follow new series. However, with its imminent shutdown, users face the risk of losing all their watch history. This includes episodes you've watched, the ratings you've given, and the shows you've followed over the years. Exporting this data is crucial if you want to continue enjoying a personalized TV tracking experience.

By exporting your TV Time data, you ensure that your viewing history is not only preserved but also easily transferable to another platform. Stub offers a practical solution, allowing you to import your data and continue tracking your shows without missing a beat. This transition ensures that your watch habits and preferences remain intact, providing continuity in your entertainment journey.

How to Export TV Time Data via GDPR

Exporting your TV Time data is a straightforward process, thanks to the GDPR data export feature available at gdpr.tvtime.com. To begin, visit the website and log in with your TV Time credentials. Once logged in, navigate to the data export section where you'll request a download of your entire watch history.

After submitting your request, you'll receive an email from TV Time with a download link. This might take a few minutes to a couple of hours, depending on the volume of your data. It's crucial to save this data securely on your device, as it will serve as the bridge to import your watch history into Stub.

Importing Your Watch History into Stub

Once you've successfully exported your data from TV Time, importing it into Stub is the next step. Start by downloading the Stub app on your preferred platform—whether it's web, iOS, or Android. After installing the app, create an account or log in if you already have one.

Navigate to the import section within Stub, typically found in the settings menu. Here, you'll have the option to upload the data file you downloaded from TV Time. Stub will handle the rest, seamlessly integrating your watch history, including episodes, ratings, and followed shows, into the app. This ensures you can continue tracking and enjoying your favorite series without interruption.

Exploring Stub's Features

Stub isn't just a replacement for TV Time; it offers an enhanced viewing experience. Like TV Time, Stub allows users to track their series, mark episodes as watched, and rate shows. However, Stub takes it a step further by offering additional features that make tracking your TV shows more enjoyable.

With Stub, you can access your watchlist on various devices, including web, iOS, and Android, providing flexibility and convenience. The app's intuitive interface and additional features like personalized recommendations and community discussions make it a robust alternative to TV Time, ensuring that your love for TV series is well-supported.
