Install IPTV Computer on Windows, Mac and your other screens

Setup comes down to one login and one player per screen. Begin with the computer on your desk, then add the TV, the phone and any spare box. Each block names the app to use and the clicks to make, with the login arriving in the message sent after checkout.

What you need before IPTV Computer setup

Three things keep every block below short. Check them once and the rest is a few clicks.

The login email

After checkout the sign-in details are mailed to you, typically within about fifteen minutes. Keep the message open on the device you are configuring so you can copy values instead of retyping them.

A steady connection

A wired link gives the steadiest playback on a computer or a box. Wi-Fi handles most channels, while 4K and 8K titles reward a cable, or a strong signal in the same room.

A compatible player

TiviMate, IBO Player and IPTV Smarters Pro share one set of credentials. Which you use depends on the screen, and each block below names the sensible pick.

IPTV Computer setup, device by device

The Windows and Mac block comes first because the computer is where most people begin. After the second-monitor workflow, the TV and handheld blocks follow in the order they are used most.

IPTV Computer setup on Windows and Mac

route one: browser tab, no install. route two: a desktop app.

Open the login email on the computer where you want to watch, and leave it visible beside your work.
For the fastest start, launch Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox and sign in to the web player with the values from the email. Nothing is downloaded, which suits a work laptop that blocks installs.
If you would rather have a program guide in its own window, get IPTV Smarters Pro for your system from its official download page or the built-in app store, then launch it.
Pick the option that adds a new user, then fill the three fields (name, password, server) with the values from the email. Save the entry.
Allow a moment for the channel list to load, choose a channel, and press the full-screen key whenever you want the whole display.

Apps for this system

IPTV Smarters Pro is the first player to try on both operating systems. IBO Player is the second option if its layout suits you better. Neither needs a different login, so you can install both and keep the one you prefer.

browser tab: no install

IPTV Computer on a laptop with a second monitor

the player stays an ordinary window, so the layout is yours.

Connect the spare monitor to the laptop by HDMI, DisplayPort or USB-C and wait for it to light up.
On Windows, hold the Windows key and tap P, then choose Extend. On a Mac, open Displays in System Settings and set the second screen to extend, not mirror.
Start the player and drag its window across until it sits on the spare screen. Use full screen there, or resize it into a corner.
Keep your work on the main display. Picture and sound carry on, and a click in another window never pauses playback.
Set the volume inside the player rather than in the system mixer, so alerts from your work keep their normal level.

Useful habits

Pin the window on top when you want a score in the corner. Before unplugging the monitor, bring the player back to the laptop screen, or it may reopen off-screen. If that happens, select the player from the taskbar or Dock and ask the system to move it to the main display.

IPTV Computer on Fire TV Stick

remote only, so keep the email open on your phone.

Turn the Stick on and press the search icon on the home screen.
Type the name of TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro, open its store page, and choose Get or Download.
Start the app once it has installed. Choose to add a new user or playlist and key in the credentials using the remote.
Save, then give the guide a while to build. The first run takes a little longer than later ones.
Move around with the remote. Holding the select button on a channel normally adds it to your favorites.

Apps for this device

TiviMate gives a polished guide and quick channel switching, while IPTV Smarters Pro is the easier one to configure. Typing long values with a remote is slow, so read them off your phone as you go.

IPTV Computer on Android TV and Google TV

box or built-in system, the steps are the same.

Open the Play Store from the apps row and find TiviMate, or else IPTV Smarters Pro.
Install, then launch from the home screen.
Add a new user or playlist, then supply the credentials from your email. The Google TV phone app doubles as a keyboard and saves effort.
Confirm the entry and give the app a minute to fetch the whole channel list.
Select a channel to start, and press back to return to the guide.

Apps for this device

TiviMate is the natural fit on Android-based hardware. IPTV Smarters Pro works as well, with a layout closer to a phone app. Choose one, finish the login, and keep the other as a fallback.

IPTV Computer on Samsung and LG smart TVs

availability depends on your model and its release year.

Open the TV's own store, which is the apps panel in Samsung Smart Hub or the Content Store on LG.
Search for IBO Player first and IPTV Smarters Pro second, and install whichever your model lists.
Launch it and follow the setup screens. Some players display a device code that you register on their companion site, while others ask for the login values directly.
Provide the information from your login email and save it.
Open the channel list and choose a station.

Apps for this device

Only your own store can say which player it carries. If neither appears, a Fire TV Stick in the HDMI port, or a laptop joined by cable, puts the same channels on the screen.

IPTV Computer on Apple TV

use the iPhone as a keyboard for the long strings.

Start from the store icon on the Apple TV home screen and use its search field.
Scan the results for IBO Player or IPTV Smarters Pro and download one.
Launch it, choose to add a user, and type in the sign-in values from your email. The iPhone keyboard option in Control Center speeds this up.
Save the entry and let the channel list load.
Swipe on the remote to browse and click to play.

Apps for this device

The store page for your own Apple TV model is the final word on which player is offered, as the choice can differ between generations. The login is the one that already works on your Mac and iPhone.

IPTV Computer on iPhone and iPad

a tablet on a stand works as a third screen.

Tap the App Store icon on your iPhone or iPad and type IBO Player or IPTV Smarters Pro into search.
Install your favorite and open it.
Add a user and fill in the values from your login email. Copy and paste from your mail app to avoid typos.
Save, and give the guide a few seconds to fill.
Turn the device sideways for full screen, and use picture-in-picture if the app offers it.

Apps for this device

An iPad propped beside a laptop makes a decent extra display. Both apps keep favorites, so you can mark the three channels you reach for most.

IPTV Computer on Android phones and tablets

Wi-Fi saves your mobile data allowance.

Launch Google Play, then type IBO Player or IPTV Smarters Pro into its search bar.
Tap Install on your pick, then Open.
Choose to add a user or playlist, and paste in the values from your login email.
Save, and wait for the channel list to load.
Turn the phone sideways to watch in full screen.

Apps for this device

IPTV Smarters Pro and IBO Player both feel at home on a phone or a tablet; TiviMate is built for Android TV boxes, not handsets. Whichever you choose, the sign-in stays the same.

IPTV Computer on a MAG box

a portal URL replaces the username and password.

Read the MAC address off the sticker under the box, or from its settings screen, and keep it nearby.
Locate the portal URL in your login email. This is the single value a MAG box needs.
On the box, go to Settings, then System settings, then Servers, and choose Portals.
Name the portal anything you like, then paste or type the portal URL from the email into the matching line. Save.
Restart the box. After it boots again, the channel list loads from the portal.

What goes where

If the portal does not load, email support@iptv.computer with the box's MAC address and the email you ordered with.

~/faq

IPTV Computer install questions, answered

Do I need an app to watch IPTV Computer on a PC?

Not at first. A current browser plays the stream once you log in using the values from your email. A desktop app such as IPTV Smarters Pro adds a program guide in its own window, which is handy on a laptop with a second monitor.

What app suits IPTV Computer best?

Match it to the screen. IPTV Smarters Pro runs on computers, phones and several TV boxes, TiviMate suits Android-based boxes and sticks, and IBO Player is a common pick on smart TVs. All of them accept the same login.

Why does IPTV Computer stutter on my laptop?

Start with the connection. Sit closer to the router or plug in an Ethernet cable, pause heavy downloads and cloud backups, then restart the player. If the stutter remains, email support naming your device, your app and the channel.

How do I get my IPTV Computer login details?

They go by email to the address used at checkout, normally about fifteen minutes after payment. Search the spam folder first, and write to support@iptv.computer if nothing is there.

Is IPTV Computer setup different on a Mac than on Windows?

Only in small details. The login is identical, the browser route is identical, and IPTV Smarters Pro has a version for each system. The two differ in how you extend the display, which the second-monitor block below explains.
