The short version
Setting up IPTV takes about ten minutes on most devices. You install a player app, enter the login we send, and wait a minute while the channel list and TV guide load. The right app depends on your device, so each guide below names the one we suggest and gives the steps.
- Most installs: app store, login, done
- Fire TV and some boxes need one extra step to sideload an app
- We help in the chat if you get stuck

Android TV boxOf all IPTV devices, an Android TV box gives you the most freedom.
Google TVGoogle TV hardware, from the Chromecast with Google TV to the newer Google TV Streamer, runs Android TV apps, so TiviMate and IPTV Smarters Pro install straight from Google Play.
Apple TVApple TV works with IPTV through App Store players like IPTV Smarters and other M3U apps.
RokuRoku does not offer a full IPTV player like TiviMate, because its channel store does not allow most of them.
Samsung TVSamsung's Tizen system cannot install Android apps, so TiviMate is out.
LG TVLG Smart TVs run webOS, so you use TV apps rather than Android ones.
Formuler boxFormuler boxes are Android-based devices made for IPTV, with their own MyTVOnline app.
MAG boxA MAG box logs in to a portal by its MAC address instead of a username.
Windows PCThe simplest IPTV player for Windows is VLC: open Media, Open Network Stream and paste the M3U link we send.

Before you begin
A device connected to your TV (or the TV itself, if it is a smart TV), internet of at least 10 Mbps for HD, and the login we send by chat. For 4K, plan for about 25 Mbps per stream.
Which device gives the best result?
A recent Android TV box or Google TV device with TiviMate gives the most complete TV-guide experience. Samsung and LG TVs work well with TV apps such as IBO Player. Apple TV works, with fewer app choices.
