For IPTV-specific setup steps, see our Apple TV 4K streaming guide. This article covers the Apple TV device and tvOS platform more generally.
Apple TV models
Current Apple TV models are built around 4K support and the A-series chips also used in iPhones, giving them strong, consistent performance for demanding apps including IPTV players.
The Siri Remote
The Siri Remote supports voice search and touch navigation. For entering long text like a playlist URL, the Apple TV Remote app on iPhone is faster than the physical remote's on-screen keyboard.
tvOS and the App Store
tvOS uses its own dedicated App Store, separate from iOS — compatible IPTV player apps are available there directly. See our Downloads page for recommendations.
