How to Set Up IPTV on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV

Choosing an App Store player

Apple only allows apps from the App Store, and IPTV player listings change from time to time. Before installing, check the app description says it supports Xtream Codes or M3U playlists. Well-known options include IPTV Smarters and IBO Player where available in your region. All IPTV players are independent products; they don't include any channels on their own.

3. 3

   Step 3: Start watching

   Browse Live TV, Movies and Series. Use AirPlay if you want to send video to a TV.

Set up on Apple TV

On Apple TV, open the App Store from the home screen, install a tvOS IPTV player and sign in the same way. Typing is easier if you use the Apple TV Remote on your iPhone as a keyboard. Apple TV 4K models with Ethernet give the most stable playback.

Set up on Mac

On Apple Silicon Macs, many iPad IPTV apps are available through the Mac App Store. On Intel Macs, use a desktop player that supports M3U playlists. See the IPTV player guide for options.
