TiviMate IPTV player
The best TV experience on Android-based devices, with a classic grid guide and fast channel switching. Some features need its paid upgrade. Setup: TiviMate guide.
Smarters Player Lite
The go-to choice on Apple devices, supporting Xtream Codes logins and VOD.
Kodi
A powerful, open-source media centre. Use the official PVR IPTV Simple Client add-on with your M3U link. Great if you like customising — less ideal if you want something plug-and-play.
VLC
Not a full IPTV app, but perfect for quickly testing an IPTV playlist on a computer.
MAG boxes
Dedicated set-top boxes that connect through a portal URL linked to the box's MAC address. Simple for non-technical users once set up.
How to choose
