IPTV apps
Your Best IPTV UK subscription works with any reputable IPTV player that supports an Xtream Codes login or an M3U playlist. The best app is the one that suits your device — here's how the popular options compare.
No. Best IPTV UK provides the TV service and your login; the app is the player you watch it in. Apps are made by independent developers, so you're free to pick the one you like — and switch later without changing your subscription.
When you order or request a trial, tell us which app you use and we'll send your details in the right format. Not sure what that means? Read Xtream Codes vs M3U.

There isn't one best app for everyone — it depends on your device. TiviMate is popular on Android TV and Firestick, IPTV Smarters is available on many platforms, and apps such as IBO Player and similar players are common on Samsung and LG TVs. All work with your Best IPTV UK login.
Your subscription provides the TV service and login. IPTV player apps are made by independent developers. Many are free; some charge a small one-off or yearly fee for premium features or activation.
Both are ways of loading your service into an app. An Xtream Codes login uses a server URL, username and password and usually loads channels, the guide and on-demand content automatically. An M3U link is a single playlist URL, and the guide may need a separate EPG link.
Any reputable IPTV player that accepts an Xtream Codes login or M3U playlist will work. Some are in the Amazon Appstore; others are installed with the Downloader app. Support can recommend an app for your model.
Many Samsung and LG IPTV apps link your playlist to the TV using its MAC address or a device key shown inside the app. You enter your login on the app's website, or send the code to support, and the playlist then appears on the TV.
EPG stands for Electronic Programme Guide. It is the on-screen TV guide that shows what is on now and next on each channel, so you can browse schedules the same way you would on Freeview or a satellite box.
