IPTV on Fire TV / Firestick
PLAYERS: TiviMate / Smarters · YOU NEED: Xtream login or M3U playlist
STEP 1
Get the compatible player
Check your Fire TV model first. For a compatible Android-based Fire TV Stick, install Downloader from the Amazon Appstore if the player is not available directly. Open the player developer’s official site to obtain its Fire TV / Android download.
STEP 2
Allow the installation
If needed, go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options → Install unknown apps and allow Downloader. If Developer Options is hidden, open About and press the device name seven times. Install the official player file, then turn off Downloader’s installation permission.
STEP 3
Add your IPTV UK login
In TiviMate, choose Add playlist → Xtream Codes and enter your server URL, username and password. In a compatible Smarters version, choose its Xtream login option. If you received an M3U link instead, choose the playlist / URL option and paste the full link.
STEP 4
Load and test your channels
Save the login and allow the channel list to load. Open Live TV and test a channel. If an EPG URL was provided separately, add it in the player’s TV guide settings. Features depend on the app and your subscription.
Download links: TiviMate — tivimate.com; Smarters — smarterspro.com. Use the developer’s current download instructions, rather than an unverified Downloader code. App and APK compatibility varies by Fire TV model and operating system.

IPTV on Android TV / Google TV
PLAYERS: TiviMate / Smarters Pro · YOU NEED: Xtream login or M3U playlist
STEP 1
Install your TV player
Open Google Play on your Android TV, Google TV or compatible box. Install TiviMate IPTV Player for remote-control viewing, or use the Android TV download linked from smarterspro.com. Check the developer before installing.
STEP 2
Choose the login method
TiviMate: open Add playlist and select Xtream Codes or M3U playlist. Smarters: open its add-user / playlist screen and select the matching login method offered by your version.
STEP 3
Enter the access details
For Xtream, enter the complete server URL, username and password exactly as supplied. For M3U, paste the full playlist URL. Give the playlist a name such as IPTV UK and save it.
STEP 4
Load channels and TV guide
Wait for the channel list, open a channel and test playback with your remote. In the guide settings, add the supplied EPG link if one is needed. A missing guide may need an EPG refresh rather than a new login.
TiviMate is designed for Android TV and remote navigation, rather than phones. Its Premium upgrade unlocks app features and is separate from your IPTV UK plan. Menu labels can vary with app version.

IPTV on Samsung Smart TV
PLAYER EXAMPLE: IBO Player · YOU NEED: M3U playlist + app device details
STEP 1
Install a compatible TV app
Press Home on your Samsung remote, open Apps / Smart Hub and search for IBO Player. Install it if offered for your model and region. Other compatible choices may include Smart IPTV or SET IPTV; each has its own setup portal.
STEP 2
Read the device details
Open IBO Player and note the Device MAC and Device Key displayed on its setup screen. Keep the app open while you complete the playlist setup using a phone or computer.
STEP 3
Link your playlist
On your phone or computer, visit the playlist-management website shown inside the installed app. Sign in with its device details, add a playlist named IPTV UK, paste your complete M3U link and save. Use only that app’s portal.
STEP 4
Reload and start watching
Return to the television and choose Reload / Refresh, or restart the app. Open IPTV UK and test a channel. If the playlist is empty, check the M3U link and the Device MAC entered in the portal.
The app licence is separate from your subscription. If you use Smarters Pro instead, install the official Samsung app from TECH SMARTERS PRIVATE LIMITED and follow its login screen. TiviMate is for Android TV, not Samsung Tizen.

IPTV on LG Smart TV
PLAYER EXAMPLE: IBO Player · YOU NEED: M3U playlist + app device details

STEP 2
Open the app’s setup screen
Launch IBO Player and note its Device MAC and Device Key. On a phone or computer, open the playlist-management website displayed in the app and sign in with those details.
STEP 3
Save the M3U playlist

STEP 4
Reload the TV app
Restart or refresh the app on your LG TV, open the new playlist and test a channel. If you use SS IPTV instead, go to Settings → Content → External Playlists → Add, enter the name and M3U URL, then save.

Android phone / tablet setup
PLAYER: Smarters Pro · YOU NEED: Supported playlist or account login
STEP 1
Install the mobile player
Open smarterspro.com and follow its Android phone Google Play link. Install the mobile version from the linked developer listing, then launch it.
STEP 2
Add your account or playlist
Open the app’s add-user / playlist screen. Choose the login method matching your access details: Xtream Codes if offered, or the M3U / playlist URL option.
STEP 3
Enter the matching details
For Xtream, supply the server URL, username and password. For M3U, paste the complete playlist link. Name it IPTV UK and save. A server URL alone is not a complete M3U playlist.
STEP 4
Open Live TV
Allow the channel categories to load and select a channel. Check the TV guide or on-demand sections if your app and account support them. Stay within your plan’s simultaneous-device limit.
TiviMate is designed for TV remotes, so use a mobile player on your phone. VLC remains an M3U alternative: More → New stream, paste your link and start playback.

iPhone / iPad setup
PLAYER: Smarters Pro / compatible iOS player · YOU NEED: Account login or M3U

Get the iOS player
Follow the iPhone / iPad App Store link from smarterspro.com and install the linked player. Check that the version supports your device and supplied access format.
STEP 2
Choose account or playlist login
Open the app and select its account / playlist option. If your version offers Xtream Codes login, choose it for a server URL, username and password; use the playlist option for an M3U link.
STEP 3
Save your access details
Enter the requested fields exactly as received from IPTV UK, name the playlist and save. For M3U, use the complete URL, including any account parameters.
STEP 4
Check the first stream
Wait for loading to finish, open Live TV and test a channel. Refresh the guide if needed. If login fails, check your copied details for missing characters or spaces.
Use an iOS-compatible player rather than an Android APK. VLC is an alternative for M3U playback through Open Network Stream; full guide and library features depend on the chosen app.

Save / Connect, wait for the channel list, and test playback. An unauthorised MAC portal needs activation by your provider.

MAG set-top box setup

STEP 3
Enter Portal 1
Give Portal 1 a name such as IPTV UK. Enter the exact portal URL supplied for your MAG box and save the changes.
