    Which Devices Work with IPTV? Smart TVs, Android Boxes, Phones and PCs

    Smart TV, Android box, Fire TV Stick, phone, computer or MAG box: the families of IPTV-compatible devices and the app to use on each one.

    IPTV travels over the internet, so any device that can install a player app can show it. Here are the families of compatible devices and the app to plan for on each. One subscription plays on one screen at a time, on the device of your choice.

    Samsung, LG and Android TV Smart TVs

    Samsung (Tizen) and LG (webOS) Smart TVs use a player app from their own store, which may charge its own fee to its developer depending on the model. Android TV and Google TV sets install IPTV Smarters Pro directly. Guides: Samsung Smart TV setup and LG TV setup.

    Android boxes and the Fire TV Stick

    An Android box or a Fire TV Stick turns an older TV into a connected screen through its HDMI port. It is often the simplest solution when the TV is not a Smart TV: see the Fire TV Stick guide and the Android TV and box guide.

    Phones and tablets

    Android and iOS are supported, on phones and tablets alike. Handy for watching in another room, as long as only one screen uses the subscription at a time — and remember that streaming on mobile data uses your bundle quickly.

    Windows and Mac computers

    On a computer, IPTV Smarters comes in Windows and Mac versions; a player such as VLC also opens an M3U link.

    MAG and Formuler boxes

    These dedicated boxes work with a portal and the device's MAC address, given when you order. Every device has its walk-through in the IPTV installation guides; then choose your IPTV plan in rand or read more about IPTV in South Africa.
