How to set up Prime IPTV on Apple TV and iPhone

Apple devices only install apps from the App Store, which keeps things simple. You pick a player, type your login once, and you're done. Apple TV 4K is one of the nicest ways to watch IPTV: fast, quiet, and the remote is good for flicking through channels.

Step by step

  1. 01

    Install a player from the App Store

    On Apple TV we recommend iPlayTV, a one-time purchase. On iPhone and iPad, IPTV Smarters Player Lite or the Prime IPTV player are free and work well.

  2. 02

    Choose to add a service

    In the app, choose Add playlist, Add user or Login with Xtream Codes. The wording differs from app to app but the fields are the same.

  3. 03

    Enter your Prime IPTV login

    Type the server URL, username and password. On Apple TV, the iPhone keyboard prompt that pops up makes this much faster.

  4. 04

    Wait for channels and guide

    The app loads your channel groups first, then the guide. Large guides can take a minute on first launch.

Things that help

  • On Apple TV, set Match Content to Match Frame Rate in Settings, Video and Audio for smoother sport.
  • AirPlay from an iPhone to an Apple TV works, but installing the app on the Apple TV directly gives a better picture.

Apple TV, iPhone & iPad questions

Is there a free IPTV player for Apple TV?

Several are free with ads or limits. iPlayTV costs a few dollars once and is the one we've had the fewest problems with.

Can I use the same login on my iPhone and my Apple TV?

Yes. They count as two screens only if both play at the same moment.
