How to Set Up an IPTV App

  1. Install the app on your device (Downloader code on Firestick, or the app store).
  2. Get your login from your IPTV provider: an Xtream Codes login (server, username, password) or an M3U link.
  3. Add it in the app, or on the app’s website with your MAC address for apps like IBO Player and SET IPTV.
  4. Activate the app if it needs it after the free trial.

Not sure which to use? Xtream Codes usually loads movies, series and the TV guide better than M3U. See our Xtream Codes and M3U setup guides.
