Before you start, make sure you have:

• An Android TV or Android TV box
• A stable internet connection (recommended ≥ 10 Mbps for HD streaming)

2️⃣ Install an IPTV Player

1. Open the Google Play Store on your Android TV.
2. Search for “IPTV Smarters” (or your preferred IPTV player).
3. Click Install.
4. Wait for the installation to complete, then open the app.

💡 Tip: TiviMate is a great alternative with advanced features and EPG support.

3️⃣ Add Your IPTV Subscription

There are two common ways to log in:

Option A – Using M3U URL

1. Open the IPTV app.
2. Select “Add New User” → “Load M3U URL”.
3. Paste your M3U link from your IPTV provider.
4. Give the profile a name (e.g., “My IPTV”).
5. Click Add/OK to load the channels.

Option B – Using Xtream Codes

Add your EPG URL provided by your IPTV provider.

Choose Auto-update for the program guide.

Customize themes or layout if supported by the app.

6️⃣ Test Streaming

Select a live TV channel and start streaming.
