Step 1: Install an IPTV player
- Open the Google Play Store on your phone, tablet or Android TV box.
- Message us on WhatsApp and we tell you the player we recommend for your device.
- Search for it, tap Install, then Open.
Step 2: Log in
- In the player, choose "Login with Xtream Codes API" (sometimes called "Xtream" or "Add user").
- Any name works in the first box, for example "Afriptv".
- Enter the server URL, username and password exactly as we sent them. Watch out for capital letters.
- Tap Add user / Login and wait while the channels load.
Step 3: Save mobile data
- In the player settings, set the default quality to SD or Auto when you are on mobile data.
- Download over Wi-Fi only, if your player supports downloads.
- Close the app fully when you finish watching, so it does not keep loading in the background.
On an Android TV box, use a network cable instead of Wi-Fi if you can. It is the single best fix for buffering during big matches.
Which Android TV box should I buy?
Choose a certified Android TV / Google TV box with at least 2 GB of RAM and 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Cheap uncertified boxes often lag, overheat and stop receiving updates.
