Android TV and Google TV power some of the best streaming devices available: NVIDIA Shield Pro, Chromecast with Google TV, Sony Bravia TVs, Mi Box S, and more. Setting up IPTV on these devices is straightforward and gives you access to a vastly superior experience compared to Smart TV apps.
Compatible Android TV Devices
- NVIDIA Shield Pro — Best overall; 4K HDR, most powerful processor
- Chromecast with Google TV (4K) — Best value Google TV device
- Xiaomi Mi Box S — Budget-friendly, good 4K performance
- Sony Bravia TVs — Built-in Android TV/Google TV on most models since 2019
- Amazon Firestick — Uses Fire OS (Android-based), same IPTV app options
Step 1 — Choose Your IPTV App
For Android TV, we recommend one of these three apps:
| App | Best For | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| TiviMate | Power users, sports fans | Free / ~$5/yr Premium |
| Televizo | Free option, modern UI | Free |
| IPTV Smarters Pro | Multi-device households | Free |
Step 2 — Install from Google Play Store
- Open the Google Play Store on your Android TV device
- Use voice search (Google Assistant) or type the app name
- Select your chosen IPTV app and tap Install
- Wait for installation to complete
- Open the app from your apps list or home screen
Step 3 — Add Your IPTV Subscription
Using Xtream Codes (Recommended)
- Open your IPTV app and navigate to Add Playlist
- Select Xtream Codes API
- Enter the Server URL, Username, and Password from your BestIPTVToday email
- Tap Connect — all channels, VOD, and EPG load automatically
Using M3U URL
- Select M3U Playlist instead
- Paste your M3U URL
- Add your EPG URL separately in the app settings
Android TV tip: Use a Bluetooth keyboard or the Google Home app on your phone as a remote control — typing long URLs with a TV remote is painful. The Google Home app gives you a full keyboard on your phone.
Step 4 — Optimise Android TV for IPTV
- Ethernet over Wi-Fi: Use a USB-C or USB-A to ethernet adapter for rock-solid 4K streaming
- Set display to 4K 60Hz: Device Settings → Display & Sound → set resolution to 4K HDR
- Disable developer options: Unless needed, keep developer mode off to avoid background services consuming RAM
- Use ExoPlayer: Set your IPTV app's player to ExoPlayer for best H.265 4K compatibility on Android TV
- Update Android TV firmware: Keep system updated for latest H.265/HEVC hardware acceleration
