IPTV for Apple TV, iPhone and iPad
Install a player from the App Store, add your Open Tivi login and watch live channels and on-demand content in up to 4K on Apple TV.
How IPTV works on Apple devices
Apple TV is one of the smoothest ways to watch IPTV. The Apple TV 4K is fast and handles video superbly, so a well-built player feels like a native TV app. If you're searching for IPTV for Apple TV, setup is simple: install a player from the App Store, enter your login, and your channel list loads.
The App Store offers several third-party players, such as IPTVX, GSE Smart IPTV and Smarters Player Lite. Open Tivi doesn't make or sell these apps. Some are free, some are paid, and some use in-app purchases, and what's listed can vary by country. Many of them run on iPhone and iPad too, so you can take your channels from the living room to the couch or the kitchen.
Your Open Tivi subscription includes 35,000+ live channels from 120+ countries and 95,000+ movies and series on demand, in HD and FHD with 4K on supported channels. Login details arrive by email within minutes, and you can test everything on your own Apple TV with the free trial.

Set up IPTV on Apple TV in three steps
App menus differ from player to player, but every one of them asks for the same details.
Get your Open Tivi login
Choose one of our plans or start a free trial. Your Xtream Codes login, M3U link and EPG URL arrive by email within minutes.
Install a player from the App Store
On your Apple TV, open the App Store and search for IPTVX, GSE Smart IPTV or Smarters Player Lite. Check the price and in-app purchases before you install.
Log in and add the guide
Choose Xtream Codes and enter the server URL, username and password, or paste your M3U link. Add the EPG URL if the guide doesn't load on its own.
AirPlay from iPhone and iPad
If you'd rather not install a player on the TV itself, AirPlay is a handy alternative. Play a channel in an IPTV app on your iPhone or iPad, tap the AirPlay icon, and choose your Apple TV or an AirPlay-compatible smart TV. It's ideal for a guest room, though a player installed on the Apple TV itself frees up your phone. Our guide to casting IPTV from iPhone and Android walks through each option.
On iPhone and iPad, Smarters Player Lite is a familiar choice if you've used IPTV Smarters Pro on other devices, since the login screen works the same way.
Getting the best picture on Apple TV
For 4K, use an Apple TV 4K connected to a 4K TV, and plan on 25 Mbps for that screen, or 10 Mbps for HD. The Apple TV 4K models with an Ethernet port give the most stable connection, so plug it into your router if you can. On Wi-Fi, connect to the 5 GHz band.
Older Apple TV HD models play HD and FHD channels well but don't output 4K. Our installation page has video walkthroughs for Apple TV and every other device we support.
