IPTV on Apple TV, iPhone and iPad

Apple devices are some of the smoothest for IPTV. You download a player from the App Store, add the login we send you, and the same 4K IPTV service runs on your Apple TV in the living room and on your iPhone or iPad when you're away from home. This guide covers the three apps we recommend, with their prices, ratings and setup steps.

All three work with Xtream Codes and M3U and show the TV guide (EPG). UHF and IPTVX need iOS or iPadOS 16 or later; on Apple TV, UHF needs tvOS 17 and IPTVX tvOS 16. App prices are set by the app makers and can change; we don't sell or include these apps.

Install an IPTV app from the App Store

  1. On Apple TV (Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K)

    1. Open the App Store on your Apple TV.

    2. Go to Search and type the app name: UHF, IPTVX or Smarters Pro.

    3. Select the app and choose Get, then Open.

  1. On iPhone or iPad

    1. Open the App Store and tap Search.

    2. Type the app name and select it.

    3. Tap Get and confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your password.

Check the developer name under the app before you install: several apps on the App Store have similar names.

How to set up IPTVX on Apple TV

  1. Open IPTVX and go to Playlist Manager.

  2. Choose New playlist, then Xtream.

  3. Enter a playlist name, the full server address (with the port if we sent one), your username and password.

  4. Save and wait while IPTVX loads your channels. The TV guide is added automatically with Xtream.

Using an M3U link instead? Choose M3U playlist via URL in step 2 and paste the full link.

Smoother playback: in IPTVX, go to Settings › Player and leave the player on Auto.

Add your login in UHF or Smarters Pro

  1. UHF

    1. Open UHF and add a new playlist or source.

    2. Choose Xtream Codes.

    2. Enter any name you like for the profile, then your username, password and server URL.

    3. Confirm and wait while the app loads live TV, movies and series.

Typing on Apple TV is slow? Set up the app on your iPhone first. With the Apple TV Remote on your iPhone (Control Center), you can also type on the TV using the iPhone keyboard.

Watch IPTV on your iPhone anywhere

Your subscription goes with you. On mobile data, HD channels use far less data than 4K, so pick the HD or SD version of a channel when you're not on Wi-Fi. If you travel, our service works abroad too, and you don't need a separate VPN: one is built into our server.

One account streams on one screen at a time. To watch on the Apple TV at home while someone uses the iPhone, choose 2 screens on our IPTV subscription page.

Apple TV IPTV questions

What is the best IPTV app for Apple TV?

For most people it's IPTVX if you watch a lot of live TV with the guide, and UHF if you want a free version that does the basics well. Both have more than 3,000 ratings on the App Store and work with our login.

Is there a free IPTV app for iPhone?

Yes. UHF and Smarters Pro are free to download, and UHF's free version plays live TV and the guide. Paid upgrades go to the app makers, not to us.

Can I use IPTV on iOS without an Apple TV?

Yes. Any iPhone or iPad with iOS 16 or later runs these apps on its own. You can also send the picture to a TV with AirPlay if the app supports it.

Does IPTV work on an old Apple TV?

Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K can install these apps from the App Store. Older models without an App Store can't.

Can I use the same apps on my Mac?

Several of them also run on Mac. We'll cover that in our IPTV on Mac guide.
