Getting set up, device by device

By far the most common way people watch this. Covers every Fire TV Stick generation including 4K and 4K Max, and the Fire TV Cube.

1. In Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options, switch on Apps from Unknown Sources. On newer sticks this lives under About until you click the model name seven times.
2. Install Downloader from the Amazon store — it is free and it is how anything gets onto a Firestick.
3. Open Downloader and enter the URL for IPTV Smarters Pro APK
4. Let it install, then open it and delete the APK when prompted to save space.
5. Select "Xtream Codes API" login and enter your VOD Streaming credentials from your welcome email
6. Give the channel list a minute to populate the first time, then start browsing.

Start with: IPTV Smarters Pro. Move to TiviMate if you want a better guide.

The easiest route of the lot, because the players are in the Play Store and there is no sideloading. Covers Android TV boxes, the Nvidia Shield, Google TV, phones and tablets.

1. Open the Google Play Store on your Android device
2. Search for "IPTV Smarters Pro" or "TiviMate"
3. Install it from the Play Store — no sideloading needed on Android.
4. Choose "Xtream Codes" login method
5. Type in the server address, username and password exactly as they appear in the email.
6. The list loads, and the guide fills in behind it over the next minute or two.

Start with: TiviMate on a TV box, IPTV Smarters Pro on a phone.

For watching on a phone or tablet, or casting from one. Anything on iOS 14 or newer will do.

1. Open the App Store on your iOS device
2. Search for "IPTV Smarters Player" or "GSE IPTV"
3. Install it — both are free, with a paid tier you do not need.
4. Open the app and select "Xtream Codes API"
5. Choose the Xtream Codes option and enter the three details from your email.
6. Play something to confirm it works, then AirPlay to a television if you want the big screen.

Start with: GSE Smart IPTV. IPTV Smarters Player is the alternative.

Worth trying before you buy a streaming stick: many Samsung and LG sets have a suitable player in their own store, in which case there is no extra hardware at all.

1. Open your Smart TV's App Store (Samsung: Galaxy Store / LG: LG Content Store)
2. Search for "IPTV Smarters" or "Smart IPTV"
3. Install it. On some sets this needs the TV's own account, which is free to create.
4. Enter either the M3U address or the Xtream Codes details — both are in your email and either works.
5. The first load is the slow one on a television; after that it is cached.

Start with: whichever of Smart IPTV or IPTV Smarters your set carries.

The quickest way to check the service is working, because VLC needs no account and no configuration. Windows 10 or 11, or macOS Catalina and later.

1. Download VLC Media Player from videolan.org (free)
2. Open VLC and go to Media → Open Network Stream
3. Paste your VOD Streaming M3U URL from the welcome email
4. Click Play and wait for channels to load
5. VLC has no guide, so it is best treated as a quick way to prove the account works.

Start with: VLC to test, MyIPTV Player if you plan to watch on the computer regularly.

Different from the rest: there is no app to install, you point the box at a portal address instead. Covers MAG 250, 254, 256, 322, 324, 420 and 424.

1. Get the box online first — wired if you can, since MAG wi-fi adapters are weak.
2. Go to Settings → System Settings → Servers
3. Select Portals and enter your VOD Streaming portal URL
4. Save, then restart the box properly. It will not pick up the portal without a reboot.
5. The channel list loads on its own at boot. There is no login screen on a MAG.

No app involved: your welcome email carries the portal address.
