How to install Extreme IPTV on your device
Set up in under 3 minutes on any supported device. Follow the steps for your hardware below.
Step-by-step: Fire TV Stick setup
The Fire TV Stick (4K, 4K Max, Lite) is the most popular device among our subscribers. Here's the full walkthrough:
Step 1: Enable unknown sources
Go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options → Install Unknown Apps. Toggle "On" for the Downloader app (or Silk Browser if you prefer).
Step 2: Install Downloader
Open the Amazon App Store, search "Downloader" (orange icon by AFTVnews), install it. This lets you sideload IPTV players that aren't in the official store.
Step 3: Download your IPTV player
Open Downloader and enter the download URL for TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro. We recommend TiviMate for its EPG, catch-up, and favorites sync. The URL is in your welcome email.
Step 4: Enter your credentials
Open the installed player. Select "Xtream Codes API" as your connection type. Enter the server URL, username, and password from your activation email. Hit Connect.
Step 5: Wait for EPG to load
First-time EPG download takes 30-60 seconds depending on your connection. After that, it syncs automatically. You'll see the full 7-day program guide with channel logos.
Step 6: Start watching
Browse by category (Sports, Entertainment, News, Kids, International), search by channel name, or set favorites. Zap time between channels is typically under 0.4 seconds.
Nvidia Shield TV and Android TV setup
Shield TV and Android TV devices can install TiviMate or IPTV Smarters directly from the Google Play Store — no sideloading needed. Open Play Store → search "TiviMate" → install → enter your Xtream Codes credentials. Done in 90 seconds.
For Google TV (Chromecast with Google TV), the process is identical. The Nvidia Shield Pro is our recommended hardware for 4K content due to its AI upscaling and Ethernet port.

Samsung & LG Smart TVs
These TVs don't support IPTV apps natively (Tizen/webOS limitations). The best solution: plug in an Amazon Fire TV Stick. It takes 2 minutes to set up and gives you access to every IPTV player with full 4K pass-through.
About iOS / Apple TV
We don't have a native iOS or Apple TV app. Apple's App Store restrictions make it difficult to distribute IPTV players. For iPhone/iPad users, our web portal provides basic access.
Connection methods
M3U URL
Standard playlist format. Works with VLC, GSE Smart IPTV, Perfect Player, and any M3U-compatible player. Copy your unique URL from your account dashboard.
Xtream Codes API
The preferred method for TiviMate and IPTV Smarters. Enter your server URL, username, and password. EPG and catch-up included automatically.
MAC Portal
For MAG boxes and STB Emu. Register your device MAC address in your dashboard. Server connects automatically — no playlist management needed.

Internet requirements
If you experience buffering between 7-11 PM, your ISP is likely throttling streaming traffic. A VPN typically resolves this instantly. See our FAQ for more troubleshooting tips.
