Your IPTV subscription works with many player apps. Two of them stand out: IBO Player Pro and TiviMate. Both are fast and reliable – but they suit different devices. Here’s how to pick the right IPTV player for you.

App cost7 days free, then a one-time licence from the developerBasic features free, premium features paid

IBO Player Pro: best for smart TVs and Apple devices

The biggest advantage: IBO Player Pro runs directly on Samsung and LG TVs – no extra streaming stick needed. It’s also available on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

Setup is especially easy: you send us the MAC address and device key shown in the app, and we add your playlist. No typing logins with the remote.

Good to know:

  • Look for the small “Pro” badge in the logo. Similar-sounding apps such as “IBO Pro Player” or “IBO PRO” are different products.
  • The app is free for 7 days. After that you buy a licence directly from the developer. The licence is not part of our package.
  • There’s no Pro version for Windows and Mac – use the regular IBO Player there.

TiviMate: the top choice for Fire TV and Android TV

TiviMate is one of the most comfortable IPTV players for Android-based devices such as Fire TV, Android TV and Google TV. The interface feels like classic TV: channel list on the left, programme guide next to it, quick to use with the remote.

Setup uses Xtream Codes: enter the server URL, your username and your password from our WhatsApp message – done.

Good to know:

  • Many convenience features like multiple playlists or recording require TiviMate Premium.
  • On Fire TV you install TiviMate with the “Downloader” app, because it isn’t in the Amazon Appstore.
