Can I watch on the phone and the TV at once?

Not on one subscription — playback is limited to one stream at a time. If two screens need to watch together, write to support about an extra connection.

How much data does it use?

Roughly 1 to 1.5 GB an hour in Full HD, more in 4K. On a metered plan, set the app to a lower quality.

Can I cast to the television?

Some players support Chromecast, some do not. Casting re-encodes the stream and usually looks worse than installing a player on the TV itself.

Which app to use

TiviMateby Armobsoft FZE · Google Play

The same listing as on the television, which matters for one practical reason: a phone has a keyboard. Type the server address here first, check it loads, and you will know the credentials are right before you start fighting a d-pad on the TV.

It was designed for a remote. On a phone the controls are sized for a cursor you do not have, so it works but it never feels native. If the phone is your main screen rather than your typing tool, tell support and we will point you at something built for a thumb. Published by Armobsoft FZE, unconnected to us.

We publish none of these applications and receive nothing from their developers. Any player that takes an M3U link or an Xtream Codes login will work with your subscription — this is simply the one we see working best here.

The steps, in order

Install a player from the Play Store

Search for an IPTV player and install it. Players built for a television work on a phone but feel cramped; ask support which one we recommend for a touchscreen.

Open it and add your service

The first screen offers a playlist or an Xtream Codes login.

Enter your credentials — and use the keyboard

This is the one thing a phone does better than any television. Paste the server address from the email rather than retyping it, long-press the field to check it pasted whole, and confirm the port survived. A d-pad gives you none of that, which is why most empty channel lists are born on a TV remote.

Start watching

The channel list loads, then the guide. On mobile data, expect to drop to HD rather than 4K unless the signal is strong — and remember it counts as your one stream, so the television will not play at the same time.

The mistake that stops most people

Watching on the phone while the television is already playing. One subscription allows one stream at a time, and the second device simply fails to start — usually with a message that blames the stream rather than telling you the truth.
