Do I need an Apple TV to watch on the television?

No. You can use AirPlay from an iPhone or iPad to a compatible television, or install an app directly on a smart TV.

Are IPTV apps free on the App Store?

Some are; others are paid or offer in-app purchases. Those fees go to the app's publisher and are separate from your subscription.

Yes, with VLC or IPTV Smarters Pro for macOS. Our PC and Mac page explains how.

Smarters Player Lite: the IPTV Smarters version for Apple devices; sign in with Xtream Codes credentials.
iPlayTV: paid app that is popular on Apple TV, with a programme guide.
VLC: free; plays an M3U link on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

Open the App Store on your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV.
Download the app you chose.
Select Xtream Codes sign-in or add an M3U link.
Enter the credentials you received after ordering.
On iPhone or iPad, you can also send the picture to an AirPlay-compatible television.

An Apple TV 4K on Ethernet gives the steadiest picture. On iPhone, Low Data Mode can reduce quality: turn it off for your home Wi-Fi.

You need about 10 Mbit/s of stable speed for HD and 25 Mbit/s for 4K. Run a speed test on the device you are using.

An Ethernet cable gives the steadiest picture. On Wi-Fi, use the 5 GHz band and move the device closer to the router.

Close the app, restart the router, then start playback again: this fixes most temporary dropouts.

If the problem continues, message us on WhatsApp with your device and the app you use.
