If you own an Apple TV, you already have one of the smoothest streaming boxes available. IPTV Apple TV setups run through apps installed from the App Store, so there are no special settings to change and no files to side-load. The Apple TV 4K is especially strong for Premium streams because of its fast processor and excellent video output.
The same login also works on your iPhone and iPad, which makes it a good fit for Apple households. Order extra devices at checkout if you want to watch on several screens at the same time.
The Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K (any generation) run tvOS and can install apps from the tvOS App Store. Earlier models that do not have an App Store are not suitable, but you can still stream by mirroring from an iPhone or iPad with AirPlay.
The App Store changes often, so we do not tie you to one app. Search for IPTV players that support username, password and server URL logins. Read the ratings and the date of the last update, and choose an app that is actively maintained. If you hit a problem, tell us the app name and we will help you.
Before you begin
Do not have a plan yet? Pick one on the plans page, or request a free trial to test on your apple tv first. Your login is emailed after your Interac e-Transfer is received.
Step by step
Eight short steps take you from the App Store to your first channel.
Open Settings, System, Software Updates and install any pending update.
Select the App Store icon on the home screen and use the search tab.
Type “IPTV” and review the results. Choose an app that supports a login with server URL, username and password.
Select Get and wait for the download to finish. Open the app and allow any permission requests.
Choose to add a new user or playlist. Type the details from your email. Use the iPhone keyboard through the Remote function to type faster.
The channels, movies and TV guide download on first use. It can take a minute.
Add the channels you watch most to a favourites list for fast access.
If an app is not on tvOS, open your player on an iPhone and use AirPlay to mirror or cast to the Apple TV.
App names change over time on the App Store. Look for players that offer these features:
We do not own or control these third-party apps, and store availability can change. If an app is missing or stops working, tell us which device you have and we will suggest an alternative that works with your login.
The steps for iOS are almost identical. Install a player app from the App Store, log in, and your channels appear. Download apps on cellular only if you have enough data, since live video uses roughly 1–3 GB per hour in HD.
Check the server URL and make sure you did not type extra spaces. Try pasting the details via iPhone.
Open Settings, Video and Audio, Audio Format, and choose the setting that matches your TV or receiver.
Turn on Match Dynamic Range and Match Frame Rate only if your TV supports it well. Otherwise turn them off.
App stores differ by region. Search by a different name or use AirPlay from an iPhone.
Move closer to the router or use Ethernet.
After your Interac e-Transfer is received, we email the details you need. Depending on the app, you will see a server URL (sometimes called a portal or host), a username and a password. Some apps ask for a single playlist link instead. Always copy the details exactly as written: a missing letter or an extra space is the most common reason a login fails on Apple TV setups.
Keep your login private. It is tied to the number of devices you ordered, and sharing it with friends can cause both of you to be logged out. If you lose the email, check your spam folder or contact support with your order number.
Live TV uses a steady stream of data, and the amount depends on picture quality. As a rule of thumb, a standard-definition channel needs about 3 Mbps, an HD channel about 6 to 8 Mbps and a 4K channel 20 Mbps or more. Add a margin for other people using the network at the same time. If your household streams on several screens, aim for at least 25 Mbps for HD or 50 Mbps for several 4K screens.
Run a speed test from the same room where your apple tv is located, not only next to the router. If the result is much lower than your plan, try a wired connection, move the router, or switch to the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. These small changes fix most buffering complaints without any extra cost.
With that information, our team can usually find the cause within a few minutes.
Your plan is not limited to one kind of screen. When you order, you can choose up to five devices, and each extra device adds 60% of the plan price. A common setup is a main television in the living room, a second box in the bedroom and a phone for travel. Browse the other setup guides to see the steps for each one, or read about the channel lineup to decide which package suits you.
