Getting it working on your telly

Every device below follows the same shape: install a player app, type in three details, wait for the guide to load. The differences are only in where the app store lives and what the app is called. Pick your device from the cards further down — most people are watching inside five minutes, and none of it needs anything you would call technical knowledge.

Quick Start

The shape of it, whatever you own

Worth reading once before you jump to your own device — the three steps are identical everywhere, and knowing that makes the device-specific bits obvious.

1

Get a line

Take a term from the pricing page or start with the free 24-hour trial. Either way the credentials arrive by email, usually within a few minutes.

2

Install a player

Install a player app from your device's own app store. TiviMate, IPTV Smarters Pro and OTT Navigator are the three worth considering; the card for your device names the best of them for that platform.

3

Sign in once

Open the player and enter the server address, username and password from your welcome email. The channel list and the seven-day guide fill themselves in from there.

Device Guides

Pick your device

If your device is not listed, it will almost certainly still work — anything that can run a player accepting an Xtream Codes login or an M3U link is fine.
