How to set up IPTV on Android TV, Google TV & Android

  1. 1

    Open the Google Play Store on your device and search for an IPTV player that supports Xtream Codes or M3U playlists.

  2. 2

    Check the app's listing: recent updates, the developer's name and the permissions it asks for. Install it.

  3. 3

  4. 4

  5. 5

    On a phone, use the app's cast or picture-in-picture option if you want to keep watching while you use other apps.

Android TV, Google TV and phones: what's different

Android TV and Google TV are the same underlying system with different home screens. Both use the Play Store, and IPTV player apps built for TV have a remote-friendly layout. Android phones and tablets use the phone versions of those apps — handy for watching around the house, though small screens and mobile data limits are worth keeping in mind.

Android TV boxes vary a lot in quality. Devices certified by Google (they show the Google Play Store and receive security updates) are a safer choice than uncertified boxes, which may ship with outdated software or preinstalled apps you can't vet.

Tips for smooth playback on Android

  • If the player app has a choice of video player or decoder, try switching between hardware and software decoding when a channel stutters.
  • Clear the app's cache from Settings → Apps if the guide stops updating.
  • On mobile data, lower the stream quality in the app to save data — HD streaming can use several gigabytes per hour.

Android TV, Google TV & Android: common questions

Is Google TV the same as Android TV for IPTV?

Yes, for this purpose. Both install apps from the Google Play Store, and the setup steps are identical.

Can I use the same login on my phone and my TV?

Usually yes, but each device streaming at the same time counts as a connection. Check how many simultaneous connections your plan includes.

My Android box isn't certified by Google. Will IPTV still work?

Often it will, but uncertified boxes may lack security updates. Install apps only from trusted sources.
