IPTV for Apple TV, iPhone and iPad
XtreamCube works across the Apple ecosystem. IPTV for Apple TV runs either
through a tvOS player or by AirPlay from your iPhone or iPad, and the same subscription works
on all three. It opens 33,000+ live channels and
330,000+ movies and series in HD and 4K, with a full programme guide and
multi-language subtitles.
In short
Download GSE Smart IPTV from the App Store, choose Xtream Codes, and enter the
Server URL, Username and Password sent by XtreamCube. Channels, guide and subtitles load
automatically. To watch on a television, either install a player on your Apple TV or use
AirPlay from your iPhone or iPad.

How to set up XtreamCube on iPhone or iPad
Three minutes, from the App Store to the first channel.
- Download GSE Smart IPTV from the App Store – it is free.
- Open the app and look for the option to add a playlist.
- Choose Xtream Codes rather than M3U – the channel list and guide load
faster and stay current. - Enter your credentials: Server URL, Username and Password, sent by
XtreamCube by email after signing up. - Let the import finish. Channels, guide and subtitles arrive
automatically. You are ready to watch.
No credentials yet? They arrive by email within minutes of starting a trial.
Try it on your iPhone first.
The free trial gives full access, so you can check the picture on your own connection.
Setting up IPTV for Apple TV
Two routes, depending on whether you want a dedicated app on the box or simply to send the
picture from a device you already use.
A player on the Apple TV
Search the tvOS App Store for an
IPTV player that supports Xtream Codes, then enter the same Server URL,
Username and Password. Everything runs on the box, with the remote.
Best for daily viewing
on the television, without needing your phone.
AirPlay from iPhone or iPad
Play a channel in your iOS player,
tap the AirPlay icon and pick your Apple TV. Nothing to install on the box, and your
settings stay on the phone.
Best for occasional
viewing, or trying the service before committing.
Keep both devices on the same Wi-Fi network, ideally on the 5 GHz band –
AirPlay quality depends entirely on the local link.
Programme guide and subtitles
Electronic programme guide. XtreamCube provides a full EPG listing what
airs on each channel, often up to a week ahead. Guide data is refreshed every 24 hours on our
side, and compatible players update on their own.
Organising channels. Inside your player you can filter, group and rename
channels, build favourites, hide the ones you never watch, and sort by genre or region.
Subtitles. Many live and VOD streams carry multi-language subtitles, as
separate files or embedded tracks. Most players let you switch them on, change language and
adjust synchronisation.

For AirPlay to a 4K television
On mobile data, streaming uses roughly the same bandwidth as any video
service – watch your allowance on a long session, and prefer a lower quality when you are not
on Wi-Fi.
If a stream stutters
- Use the 5 GHz band rather than 2.4 GHz – far less congested
- Lower the quality when bandwidth is limited
- Close background apps, especially anything downloading
- Restart the player, or the device
Still stuttering? Our team is reachable at any hour through the live chat on this site or by email.
Watching on more than one screen
One subscription streams to one device at a time. That is a firm limit,
not a soft one: a single account cannot be shared across two screens at once, and attempting
it simply interrupts whoever is watching.
When two people need different channels at the same time, the answer is a
second account rather than a shared one. Each additional login costs
15% less than the first, keeps its own favourites and resume points, and
neither screen ever cuts the other off. Worth it when the iPhone, the iPad and the television are all in use.
See the exact rates on the
subscription plans page.
