The Amazon Firestick is the most popular IPTV device in the UK. Here is the complete setup process using TiviMate (our top recommendation):
From the Firestick home screen, go to Settings.
Select "My Fire TV" then "Developer Options".
Turn on "Apps from Unknown Sources". If you don't see Developer Options, click About > Fire TV Stick name 7 times.
On the Firestick home screen, use the search bar and type "Downloader".
Select "Downloader" by AFTVNews and click Download.
Launch the Downloader app from your Firestick apps.
In Downloader's URL field, type: tivimate.com or troypoint.com/tivimate
Click Go and wait for the APK to download.
Click Install when prompted and wait for the installation to complete.
Launch TiviMate and start adding your IPTV subscription.
Select "Add Playlist" and choose Xtream Codes API or M3U URL.
Paste the login details from UK Best IPTV.
This usually takes 30-60 seconds. TiviMate will download the EPG automatically.
Your Firestick is now fully set up for IPTV.
Tip: TiviMate offers a cable-like interface with multi-view (watch up to 4 channels at once), recording, and an advanced EPG. It is the best free IPTV player for Firestick.
Android TV and Google TV devices (NVIDIA Shield, Chromecast, MECOOL boxes, Xiaomi Mi Box) can install IPTV apps directly from the Google Play Store.
Open Google Play Store on your Android TV, search for "TiviMate" or "IPTV Smarters Pro", and click Install.
If the app is not available in your region, install Downloader from the Play Store and sideload the APK.
Open the app, add your M3U URL or Xtream Codes from UK Best IPTV, and start streaming.
Samsung Smart TVs run Tizen OS and support Smart IPTV natively. Here is how to set it up:
Press the Home button on your remote and go to Apps.
Type "Smart IPTV" in the search bar and select the app.
Click Install and wait for download to complete.
Open the app and write down your MAC address (e.g., e8:5b:5b:37:79:ba).
Go to siptv.app/activation on your computer and pay the €5.49 one-time fee.
Go to siptv.eu/mylist, enter your MAC address, and paste your M3U URL from UK Best IPTV.
Close and reopen Smart IPTV — your channels will load automatically.
Samsung TV Tip: For older Samsung models (2015-2017), you may need to install Smart IPTV via USB. Download the installation file from the official Smart IPTV website and follow the TV's USB installation instructions.
LG Smart TVs run WebOS and also support Smart IPTV natively. The setup process is nearly identical to Samsung:
Press Home and navigate to LG Content Store.
Use the search bar and type "Smart IPTV".
Click Install and wait for the download.
Open the app and record your MAC address.
Activate at siptv.app and upload your M3U URL at siptv.eu/mylist.
Restart the app and enjoy 55,000+ channels in HD and 4K.
Apple devices can also run IPTV using apps like IPTV Smarters Pro, GSE Smart IPTV, or iPlayTV. Here is how:
Open the App Store on Apple TV, search for "IPTV Smarters Pro" or "iPlayTV", install it, and add your subscription credentials.
Download IPTV Smarters Pro from the App Store, enter your M3U URL or Xtream Codes API from UK Best IPTV, and start streaming on the go.

Make sure your IPTV provider supplies an EPG URL. UK Best IPTV provides a full 7-day EPG with every subscription.
