How to choose an IPTV player app for your TV

An IPTV player app contains no channels: it shows the content your subscription gives you access to. So the right choice depends first on your authorized provider and your device.

1. Start with your provider

Your provider usually lists the apps and formats it supports. If it recommends an app, that’s often the simplest choice, because its sign-in instructions match.

2. Check device compatibility

  • Samsung (Tizen) and LG (webOS): only apps from their official store can be installed.
  • Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV: Google Play Store or Amazon Appstore.
  • Apple TV, iPhone and iPad: App Store.
  • Older TVs don’t always get recent apps.

3. Evaluate the app

  • Recent updates and an identifiable publisher;
  • a clear programme guide, parental controls and language options;
  • a clear privacy policy;
  • user reviews in the official store.

4. Avoid unknown sources

Installing an app from a file downloaded outside official stores can expose your device to malware. Stick to official stores.
