How to Set Up IPTV on Android TV & Google TV

An Android TV box or Google TV is the easiest device for IPTV: the best players are in Google Play, so there is nothing to unlock. Install TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro, type your TVSPELER login and you are watching in about 5 minutes.

Works on Chromecast with Google TV, Google TV Streamer, Nvidia Shield, Android TV boxes and Sony, TCL, Philips or Hisense TVs running Google TV or Android TV.

Best IPTV Apps for Android TV

TiviMate IPTV Player

Our first pick

  • Built for TV remotes, with a TV guide that looks like cable
  • Xtream Codes and M3U, TV guide (EPG), catch-up and recording
  • Free to use; Premium is a paid upgrade bought inside the app
  • Made for TVs and boxes, not for phones

IPTV Smarters Pro

Also works on Android phones

  • Simple menus: Live TV, Movies and Series on the first screen
  • Xtream Codes and M3U, with a TV guide
  • Free
  • In Google Play, published by WHMCS Smarters

Both are players only and come without channels. Your channels, movies and series come from your TVSPELER IPTV subscription.

How to Install IPTV on Android TV, Step by Step

  1. Open Google Play

    On Google TV, go to the Apps tab and select Search for apps. On Android TV, open the Google Play Store from the Home screen.

  2. Find the app

    Search for TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro. Many copies use the same name, so check the developer: Armobsoft FZE for TiviMate, WHMCS Smarters for IPTV Smarters Pro.

  3. Install it

    Select Install, then Open. No developer mode or unknown sources needed.

  4. Add your TVSPELER login

    • In TiviMate: choose Add playlist, then Xtream Codes. Type the server URL, username and password from our WhatsApp message, select Next, give the playlist a name and finish.
    • In IPTV Smarters Pro: choose Login with Xtream Codes API. Type any name, then the username, password and URL, and select Add User.
  5. Load your channels

    The channel list and TV guide take 1–3 minutes to load the first time. After that the app opens straight to live TV.

TiviMate is sometimes removed from Google Play for a while. If you cannot find it, use IPTV Smarters Pro, or message us and we send you the official install link.

Before You Watch IPTV on Android TV

Speed: 15 Mbps for Full HD and 40 Mbps for 4K. The full table is on our IPTV pricing page.

Connection: Nvidia Shield and most Android TV boxes have an Ethernet port. Use it for 4K.

Fire TV is different: a Fire TV Stick runs Amazon's own system and has no Google Play. Use the Firestick guide.

IPTV on Android TV Not Working? Try This First

  • The app is not in Google Play: check that your TV runs Google TV or Android TV (Settings > System > About). Some TCL and Hisense models use another system; message us your model.

  • Login error: check the server URL, username and password for extra spaces. Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.

  • TV guide is empty: in the app, refresh the playlist or the EPG, then wait a few minutes.

  • Buffering: restart the box or TV and your router, then test the same channel on another device. On a box, try a cable connection.
