IPTV Smarters: simplest to set up
Big tiles for Live TV, Movies and Series, and a login screen that asks exactly for the details we send you. If this is your first IPTV setup, start here.
TiviMate: the best TV guide
TiviMate makes IPTV feel like a premium cable box: a full programme grid, favourites, channel sorting and, with its premium upgrade, recording. Heavy live-TV viewers usually end up here.
XCIPTV: light and quick
On a Fire TV Stick Lite or an older model with little storage, a lighter player keeps menus responsive.
How to install them
All three are installed with Downloader. Follow our Fire Stick setup guide, then log in with your IPTV Firestick details.
Common questions
Can I use two players with the same login?
Yes, but only as many can stream at once as the number of devices on your plan.
Which player shows the TV guide best?
TiviMate, with an Xtream Codes login so the guide loads automatically.
