Keeping your history
Check your saved export with Trakt
Trakt documents an import from TV Time. Start with the original export you already saved, select the matching format, and check the imported titles and episode progress.
Older instructions about requesting a new export predate the shutdown. Import support does not mean the closed service can recover your account, friends or conversations.

Will my comments and friends transfer?
