Guides and tips from our support team, written from the questions customers actually ask.
Amazon Fire TV
The Amazon Firestick is the most popular way to watch IPTV in the USA: it is cheap, fast and plugs into any TV. This guide shows how to install an IPTV player on a Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Cube or Fire TV smart TV, log in with your IPTV subscription and start watching live TV in about ten minutes.
Smart TV
You can watch IPTV on a Samsung or LG smart TV without any extra box. Both TVs run IPTV players from their official app stores, including IPTV Smarters Pro and IBO Player. This guide covers installing the app, adding your IPTV subscription with Xtream Codes or an M3U link, and getting a smooth picture.
Roku
Roku is one of the most common streaming devices in the USA, but it doesn't run the popular IPTV players like IPTV Smarters or TiviMate. You can still watch your IPTV subscription on a Roku TV. This guide explains the two methods that work, screen mirroring and M3U player channels, and when a different device is the better choice.
Android
Android is the easiest platform for IPTV: every major player is on Google Play, and setup takes about five minutes. This guide works for Android phones and tablets, Android TV boxes, Google TV and the Nvidia Shield. You will install an IPTV app, add your subscription with Xtream Codes and load the TV guide.
Apple
Apple devices can play IPTV through players from the App Store, with no jailbreak or sideloading. This guide shows how to set up IPTV on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, add your IPTV subscription and send live channels to a bigger screen with AirPlay.
All devices
An IPTV playlist is the list of channels and movies your player loads from your subscription. You can add it with an M3U link or with Xtream Codes, and it works the same way in almost every IPTV app. This guide explains both formats, how to add your IPTV playlist and how to fix one that won't load.
Windows & Mac
VLC Media Player is a free way to watch IPTV on a Windows PC, Mac or Linux computer. It plays your IPTV playlist straight from the M3U link, with no account or extra software. This guide shows how to open your IPTV channels in VLC, browse them and fix playback that stutters.
Apps & players
XCIPTV Player is a light, fast IPTV app that runs well on Firestick, Android TV boxes and phones, even older ones. It supports Xtream Codes and M3U playlists, with a built-in TV guide and catch-up. This guide shows how to install XCIPTV, log in with your IPTV subscription and fix the most common problems.
Apps & players
Kodi can play live IPTV channels through its official PVR IPTV Simple Client add-on, with a full TV guide inside Kodi's TV section. It works on Windows, Mac, Android, Fire TV and Linux. This guide shows how to install the add-on, add your IPTV playlist and EPG, and start watching.
Apps & players
Subtitles make IPTV easier to follow in a noisy room, late at night or in another language. Most IPTV players let you turn on subtitles during playback in a couple of clicks. This guide covers IPTV Smarters, TiviMate and other players, how to change the subtitle style and why some live channels don't show any.
Network & settings
Most IPTV buffering comes from settings, not the service. A few changes to your connection, router and IPTV app can turn a stuttering picture into a smooth one, especially during live sports. This guide walks through the settings that matter most, in the order to check them.
Account & billing
An IPTV recharge, renewing your IPTV subscription, takes a few minutes and keeps the same login on all your devices. Our plans never renew automatically, so you stay in control. This guide explains how to renew, how payment works and what to do if your channels don't come back right away.
Account & billing
Purchasing IPTV for the first time can feel confusing: different plans, apps and login types. This beginner guide explains what IPTV is, what to look for in a provider and each step from choosing a plan to watching your first channel. It takes about fifteen minutes from order to live TV.
Amazon Fire TV
With thousands of IPTV channels and movies, scrolling to find one takes forever. Every major IPTV player has a search tool you can use with the Firestick remote. This guide shows where to find it in IPTV Smarters and TiviMate, how to type faster and what to do when search returns nothing.
Set-top boxes
Avov boxes play IPTV through the TVOnline app using a portal URL and your box's MAC address, similar to a MAG box. Setup takes about ten minutes once we register your device. This guide shows how to install TVOnline, connect it to your IPTV subscription and load the channels.
Smart TV
IPTV Smarters Pro is one of the most popular IPTV apps, and on many Samsung Smart TVs you can download it straight from the TV's app store. This guide shows how to check your TV, download IPTV Smarters Pro, log in with your IPTV subscription and what to do if the app isn't available for your model or region.
