Which device is best for IPTV?
If you are buying something new for the living room, a streaming stick such as the Fire TV Stick 4K is inexpensive, quick and easy to set up – see our IPTV Firestick setup guide. Many modern Smart TVs can run a player app directly, which saves a remote and an HDMI port; our IPTV Smart TV guide covers the main brands sold in the UK.

What is an IPTV player app?
The service works through a player app installed on your device. The app does not include any channels on its own – it simply plays the service using your login details. When you start a trial or subscription we recommend an app that works well on your device. Learn more in what is an IPTV player?
