How To Install IPTV
IPTV Setup Tutorials
Select your device below to open a clear, step-by-step installation guide.
Before You Start
We sell the subscription only. You can use any IPTV player app you prefer — we recommend TiviMate, IBO Player, or GSE Smart IPTV depending on your device, and we’ll help you set up whichever one you choose.
Think of it like a SIM card: your subscription is the SIM, and the player app is the phone you use it on.

Enable Apps from Unknown Sources
Go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options and turn on Apps from Unknown Sources.
Install the Downloader App
Search the Amazon Appstore for “Downloader” and install it.
Install Your IPTV Player
Open Downloader and search the Appstore for TiviMate, or enter the player’s official URL if we provided one.
Enter Your Login Details
Open the app, select “Xtream Codes Login,” and enter the username, password, and server URL from your welcome message.
Start Watching
Your channel list and EPG sync automatically — browse categories or search for your favorites.
💡 Tip: If the channel list takes a moment to load the first time, give it a minute — large playlists (20,000+ channels) can take longer to sync initially.
Android TV / Box (Chromecast, TCL, Sony, Nvidia Shield)
Estimated time: 5–7 minutes
Open the Google Play Store
On your Android TV device, open the Play Store app.
Download Your Player App
Search for TiviMate, GSE Smart IPTV, or IPTV Smarters Pro and install it.
Add Your Subscription
Choose “Xtream Codes API” as the login type and enter your username, password, and server URL.
Sync & Start Streaming
Your channels, VOD library, and EPG load automatically. You’re ready to watch.
💡 Tip: On devices with limited RAM, GSE Smart IPTV tends to run lighter than TiviMate.
Formuler Z / Dreamlink Boxes
Estimated time: 8–10 minutes
Check Your Model Type
Newer Formuler Z8/Z11 models run Android and support TiviMate directly from the Play Store. Older Dreamlink models use a built-in portal-style player.
Android Models: Install TiviMate
Open the Play Store, install TiviMate, and log in with your Xtream Codes credentials as with any Android box.
Portal-Style Models: Use Your MAC Address
Find your device’s MAC address in the system settings, send it to us on WhatsApp, and we’ll activate your portal link.
Reboot & Load Channels
Restart the device — your channel list should load automatically once activated.
💡 Tip: Not sure which type your box is? Send us the exact model number on WhatsApp and we’ll confirm the right method.
Smart TV / Not Android (Samsung, LG, Vizio, Hisense)
Estimated time: 5–8 minutes
Install From Your TV’s App Store
Open your TV’s app store and search for “Smart IPTV” or “IPTV Smarters.”
Note Your TV’s MAC Address
Smart IPTV displays a unique MAC address on first launch — you’ll need this for activation.
Activate & Load Your Playlist
Message us the MAC address on WhatsApp, and we’ll link your playlist to the app. If using IPTV Smarters, enter your Xtream Codes login directly instead.
Restart the App
Close and reopen the app — your channel list should now load automatically.
💡 Tip: Some older Smart TVs require the MAC address method — just message us and we’ll handle activation for you.
Roku Device (Roku TV, Streaming Stick, Ultra)
Estimated time: 8–10 minutes
Check Channel Store Availability
Roku’s app store has limited IPTV player support compared to Android-based devices. Search the Channel Store for a compatible IPTV player.
Alternative: Cast From Your Phone
Install GSE Smart IPTV or a similar app on your phone, log in with your Xtream Codes details, then cast the stream to your Roku device.
Watch on the Big Screen
Once casting, control playback from your phone while it displays on your TV through Roku.
💡 Tip: For the smoothest Roku experience, message us on WhatsApp — we’ll recommend the current best-working method for your exact Roku model.
Apple / iOS (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV)
Estimated time: 5 minutes
Download From the App Store
Search for GSE Smart IPTV or IPTV Smarters Pro on your device’s App Store.
Add Your Xtream Codes Login
Select “Add User” or “Xtream Codes API” and enter your username, password, and server URL.
Start Streaming
Your channels and VOD library load automatically. You can also AirPlay to your TV from your phone.
💡 Tip: If a player app isn’t available in your region’s App Store, message us for alternative app suggestions.
Windows PC & Mac Computers
Estimated time: 5 minutes
Install VLC or IPTV Smarters
Download VLC from videolan.org, or IPTV Smarters Pro from its official site, for Windows or Mac.
Open Your M3U Playlist (VLC)
In VLC, go to Media → Open Network Stream and paste the M3U playlist URL we provide.
Or Log In With Xtream Codes (IPTV Smarters)
Choose “Xtream Codes API” and enter your login for a fuller experience with EPG and VOD categories.
💡 Tip: VLC is the fastest way to test a stream, but doesn’t organize channels into categories like a dedicated IPTV app does.
Android Phone (Samsung, Pixel, Xiaomi, Oppo)
Estimated time: 5 minutes
Download From Google Play
Search for GSE Smart IPTV or IPTV Smarters Pro and install it on your phone.
Enter Your Login Details
Select “Xtream Codes API” and enter your username, password, and server URL.
Watch On the Go — or Cast to Your TV
Stream directly on your phone, or cast to a Chromecast-enabled TV for the big screen.
💡 Tip: On mobile data, streaming in HD instead of 4K will save on data usage without a big quality drop.
BuzzTV Box (All Models)
Estimated time: 5–7 minutes
Open the Google Play Store
BuzzTV boxes run Android, so setup follows the same process as any Android TV box.
Install TiviMate
Search for and install TiviMate from the Play Store.
Enter Your Xtream Codes Login
Add your username, password, and server URL to load your channels.
💡 Tip: BuzzTV’s remote has a dedicated app-switch button — handy for jumping between your IPTV app and other streaming apps.
MAG Box & Enigma2 Devices
Estimated time: 10 minutes
Locate Your Device’s MAC Address
Found under Settings → System Info on MAG boxes, or the network settings menu on Enigma2 devices.
Send Us Your MAC Address
Message it to us on WhatsApp so we can link it to your subscription.
Enter the Portal URL
In your device’s Portal / STB settings, enter the portal URL we provide, then save and restart.
Reboot & Load Channels
After rebooting, your channel list should load automatically from the portal.
💡 Tip: Double-check your MAC address before sending it — an incorrect one will prevent activation.
Troubleshooting Tips
Check your internet connection. A stable connection of at least 15–20 Mbps is recommended for smooth HD streaming.
Make sure your Xtream Codes (credentials) are entered correctly. These details are case-sensitive.
Update your IPTV player app to the latest version to avoid playback and loading issues.
Restart your device, and also reboot your router/modem.
If you’re using a VPN, try switching to another server or temporarily disabling it to test whether that resolves the issue.
Clear the cache of your IPTV player app, then reopen it and test again.
Some internet providers restrict IPTV-style traffic. If you suspect this, a VPN can often help improve access.
