How to Set Up IPTV on Apple TV

Apple TV 4K is the best-built streaming box you can buy and handles 4K IPTV without breaking a sweat. The trade-off is that tvOS is closed — there is no sideloading, so you are limited to whatever players are in the tvOS App Store at the time.

Setting up Apple TV, step by step

  • 1. Open the App Store on Apple TV — Search for IPTV Smarters Pro or iPlayTV. Availability shifts, so take whichever is present.
  • 2. Enter your Xtream Codes details — Typing on the Apple TV remote is tedious — use the Apple TV Remote in iOS Control Centre and type on your phone instead.
  • 3. Wait for the channel and guide sync — Give it a few minutes on first load before judging whether anything is wrong.
  • 4. Set the timezone and favourites — GMT or GMT+1 for BST, then mark your regular channels as favourites so you are not scrolling twenty thousand entries.

Tips that save you time

  • Use ethernet via the Apple TV 4K's port or a USB-C adapter — it is noticeably more stable than Wi-Fi for live sport
  • Apple TV handles 4K better than any Firestick, so it is worth it if you watch a lot of sport in UHD
  • No sideloading means fewer app choices but also materially better security

Common questions

Frequently asked

Can I sideload an IPTV app on Apple TV?
Not without a developer account and a Mac, and it is not something we would recommend to a general user. Use what is in the App Store.
Is Apple TV better than a Firestick for IPTV?
Technically yes — faster, more memory, better 4K handling and more stable. It also costs several times as much, and a Firestick is perfectly adequate for most people.
Does AirPlay from an iPhone work well?
For occasional use, yes. For live sport, a direct install on the Apple TV is more reliable because it removes the phone from the chain.
