IPTV Box and Android TV Setup Guide

• Android TV boxes and streaming boxes that have the Google Play Store, such as Nvidia Shield TV and other certified Android TV boxes.
• Google TV devices, such as Google TV Streamer and Chromecast with Google TV.
• Smart TVs running Google TV or Android TV, including many Sony, TCL and Philips models.

Have a Fire TV Stick? Follow our IPTV on Firestick guide instead. Samsung and LG TVs use their own systems and have separate guides.

You don't need an expensive box. What matters for smooth IPTV is:

• Google Play Store built in, so apps install and update safely.
• 4K and HDR support if you want to watch our 4K channels.
• At least 2 GB of RAM and some free storage for the player app and its TV guide.
• Ethernet or Wi-Fi 5/6: about 15 Mbps for HD and 40 Mbps for 4K.

A certified Android TV or Google TV streaming box that ticks these boxes will run every app below. Not sure about your model? Send us its name on WhatsApp and we'll tell you before you subscribe.

All three work with Xtream Codes and M3U and show the TV guide (EPG). On AIDO TV, catch-up, the full guide and more than one playlist need Premium. App prices are set by the app makers and can change; we don't sell or include these apps.

Using an M3U link? Every app has an M3U or playlist URL option: paste the full link we sent you. Xtream Codes is quicker to type and loads the TV guide automatically, so we recommend it.

• Use Ethernet for 4K whenever the box has a network port. On Wi-Fi, connect to the 5 GHz network.
• Restart the box once in a while, and after system updates.
• Clear the app cache if channels load slowly: Settings › Apps › the app › Clear cache (not Clear data).
• Keep the player app updated from Google Play.
• Switch to the HD or SD version of a channel if your connection slows down.

Still buffering? Send us the channel name and your box model on WhatsApp and we'll check it with you.
