How to export your TV Time data before it is deleted

4 Jul 2026

TV Time shuts down after 15 July 2026, and the official announcement is clear about what that means: accounts and watch history are permanently deleted, with no recovery afterwards. If you want to keep a record of what you have watched, you need to export it yourself before the deadline.

The good news: there is an official self-service tool and it takes a few minutes.

The steps

1. Go to gdpr.tvtime.com/gdpr/self-service in any browser.
2. Sign in with your TV Time email and password. If you signed up years ago and cannot remember the password, use the “Forgot password” option on the login page first.
3. Request your export. The download takes a little while to prepare, depending on how much you tracked over the years.
4. Download the file and keep it somewhere safe.

What is in the export

The file contains your watch history, episode check-ins, ratings and account information. It is a data file rather than something pretty to read, but it is a complete record, and a complete record beats a deleted one.

Common problems

• Cannot sign in? Reset the password from the login page. If your account used a social login, try the email address associated with that account.
• Export never arrives? Try again during a quieter time of day. Millions of users are doing the same thing before the deadline.
• Left it too late? After 15 July there is nothing to be done. Set a reminder now rather than testing the deadline.

After the export

Your history is safe, but the habit needs a new home: somewhere to tick off episodes and be told when new ones air. That is what OnNext does, and if you want to weigh up all the options first, start with the best TV Time alternatives.
