The device matters less than the app – and we help you pick the app.
IPTV on Amazon Fire TV Stick
The most popular IPTV device in the USA. It is affordable, plugs into any TV with HDMI and runs the best-known player apps. For a 4K TV, choose the Fire TV Stick 4K or 4K Max.
The first setup takes a few minutes: install a player app, enter your login and let the channels load. An Ethernet adapter gives the steadiest picture.

IPTV on Samsung and LG Smart TVs
On many Samsung (Tizen) and LG (webOS) TVs you can watch without an extra box, using an IPTV app from the TV’s app store. Which apps are available depends on the model and year, and some charge a small one-off activation fee after a trial.
Send us your TV model and we suggest an app that works with it.
- No extra box
- App choice depends on the model
- Some apps have an activation fee
- Cable or 5 GHz Wi-Fi recommended
IPTV on Apple TV, iPhone and iPad
Several apps in the App Store accept an IPTV login. Some are free with optional upgrades, others cost a few dollars. On an iPhone or iPad you can also AirPlay to a compatible TV.

IPTV on Android TV, Google TV and Nvidia Shield
Android-based TVs and boxes run the widest range of player apps, with a full TV guide, catch-up and favorites. Android phones and tablets use the same apps, so your login works there too.
- Widest choice of apps
- TV guide and catch-up
- Remote-friendly menus
- Same login on phone and TV
IPTV on Roku
Roku is a closed system: most IPTV player apps can’t be installed on it, whichever service you use. The simple fix is a Fire TV Stick in a spare HDMI port. Mirroring a phone to the Roku works too, but it is less smooth.
- Most IPTV apps don’t run on Roku
- Fire TV Stick is the easy fix
- Mirroring as a fallback
- We suggest the easiest route
IPTV on Windows and Mac
A laptop or desktop is the quickest way to test: a desktop player app opens your login in minutes. You can also connect the laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable.
- Quickest way to test
- Desktop player apps
- HDMI to the TV
- Nothing to install on the TV
Set-top boxes and other devices
Chromecast with Google TV and most Android boxes work too. Have a set-top box such as MAG or Formuler? Ask us in the chat whether it is supported.
