Quick answer

On Apple TV, install iPlayTV from the App Store, choose Add Playlist, enter your Maple4K M3U URL or Xtream details, and add the EPG. TiviMate is Android-only, so iPlayTV is the go-to on Apple TV.

iPlayTV on Apple TV: what to expect

iPlayTV feels native on tvOS: it uses the Siri Remote, supports channel favourites and shows an EPG grid. It is a paid app in most regions, which is normal for the Apple TV ecosystem — factor that into your budget alongside your IPTV plan.

If you would rather stay free, IPTV Smarters Pro for Apple TV is an alternative. See how the two compare in the best IPTV apps list.

Also on iPhone, iPad and Android

iPlayTV is available on iOS and Android as well, so you can carry the same playlist to your phone. For a phone-first workflow, see IPTV on iPhone & iPad and IPTV on Android.

Making iPlayTV great on Apple TV 4K

Apple TV 4K supports HEVC hardware decoding, which suits the H.265 streams used for 4K IPTV. In Apple TV settings, enable Match Content for both range and frame rate so hockey and football play at native motion instead of being converted. Connect Apple TV by Ethernet if it has a port — the 4K model with 128 GB storage does — and you will notice fewer drops in the third period of a busy game night.

Use Siri to search inside iPlayTV where supported, and set your most-watched channels as favourites so they open without scrolling. Because tvOS keeps your playlist stored, you only enter the login once.
