Features
IPTV Fox TV is delivered as standard IPTV login details that work in player apps on your TV, streaming stick, phone or tablet. This page lists what's included and explains how each part works, so you know exactly what you're getting.
Included
Your subscription comes as standard login details — Xtream Codes (server URL, username, password) or M3U playlist URL — which you enter into a compatible player app on your TV, streaming stick, phone or tablet.
Step-by-step guides for Fire TV, Android TV, Smart TVs and Apple devices, plus troubleshooting help for buffering, login errors and program-guide issues.
An electronic program guide shows what's on now and next, so you can browse channels the way you would with a cable box.
Full access to HD and 4K content
Plans allow up to 5 simultaneous connections, so different rooms can watch at the same time.

Every plan lists its term, price and connection limit up front, with the same details on every page.
After you subscribe you receive login details in a standard format: Xtream Codes (server URL, username, password) or M3U playlist URL. You enter them into a compatible player app, and the app loads the channel list and program guide. Because the format is standard, you can use the same subscription on different kinds of devices.
New to the terminology? M3U playlists explained and Xtream Codes login explained cover both login types, and the IPTV glossary defines the rest.
A program guide turns a list of channels into a TV-style grid showing what's on now and next. In IPTV the guide is a separate data feed that your player app downloads and matches to channels. If the guide is missing or shows the wrong times, the fix is usually quick. See IPTV EPG explained.
Picture quality depends on the stream and also on your home connection. As a guide, the FCC suggests 5–8 Mbps for an HD stream and 25 Mbps for 4K, per screen. A wired connection to your TV makes the biggest difference to stability. Read how much internet speed you need and Wi-Fi vs Ethernet for streaming.
Each device streaming at the same time uses one connection. You can usually install your login on more devices than your connection limit, as long as no more than that number play at once. Find out more in using IPTV on multiple devices, and check connection limits on the pricing page.

We only describe a feature as included once it's confirmed. These details will be added here when they are, and you can ask any provider the same questions.
