How to Set Up IPTV on Apple TV

The best IPTV app for Apple TV is UHF: it is in the App Store, takes your Xtream Codes login and shows a full TV guide. Install it, type your TVSPELER login and you are watching in about 5 minutes.

Works on every Apple TV 4K and on Apple TV HD with tvOS 17 or later.

Best IPTV Apps for Apple TV

UHF – Love your IPTV

Our first pick

  • In the App Store, by Short Wavelength Applications
  • Xtream Codes login or M3U link
  • TV guide (EPG) and catch-up
  • Free to start; an optional Pro upgrade is bought in the app
  • Get UHF on the App Store

ibo Pro Player

Add your link from your phone

  • In the App Store, by IRBOETECH
  • Plays your M3U link
  • You upload the link on the app's website, then activate on the website or with an in-app purchase
  • Also runs on older Apple TVs (tvOS 14 or later)
  • Get ibo Pro Player on the App Store

Both are players only and come without channels. Their upgrades and activation fees are paid to the app, not to us. Your channels, movies and series come from your TVSPELER IPTV subscription.

How to Install IPTV on Apple TV, Step by Step

  1. Open the App Store

    On your Apple TV Home screen, open the App Store and go to Search.

  2. Find the app

    Type UHF or ibo Pro Player. Check the developer name under the app: Short Wavelength Applications for UHF, IRBOETECH for ibo Pro Player.

  3. Install it

    Select Get, confirm with your Apple Account if asked, then select Open.

  4. Add your TVSPELER login

    • In UHF: add a new playlist, choose Xtream, and type the server URL, username and password from our WhatsApp message. Or choose M3U and paste the link.
    • In ibo Pro Player: the app shows its device details and website address. On your phone or computer, open that website, enter the details and paste the M3U link from our WhatsApp message, then activate the app.
  5. Load your channels

    Go back to the app and open Live TV. The channel list and TV guide take 1–3 minutes to load the first time.

Typing a long password with the Siri Remote is slow. When the keyboard is on screen, your iPhone shows an Apple TV keyboard notification: tap it and type on your phone instead.

IPTV on Apple TV Not Working? Try This First

  • The app does not appear in Search: check your tvOS version in Settings > General > About. UHF needs tvOS 17 or later; on older Apple TVs, use ibo Pro Player.

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

  • Black screen or no sound on one channel: try another channel. If several fail, send us their names on WhatsApp.

  • Buffering: restart the Apple TV (Settings > System > Restart) and your router, then test the same channel on another device.
