Device-Specific Instructions
Amazon Firestick
The Firestick is the most popular streaming device in the UK. Go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options and enable ‘Apps from Unknown Sources’. Then download the Downloader app, use it to install IPTV Smarters Pro, and enter your EliteStream.uk credentials. Full setup takes under 8 minutes.
Samsung / LG / Sony Smart TV
Most modern Smart TVs support streaming apps directly from their app store. Search for IPTV Smarters or Smart IPTV in your TV’s app store. If not available, the easiest workaround is to plug an Amazon Firestick into your TV’s HDMI port.
Android Phone or Tablet
Go to the Google Play Store, search for IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate, and install. Open the app, add your playlist using the credentials from your EliteStream.uk welcome email, and you are live.
iPhone or iPad
Open the App Store and download GSE Smart IPTV or IPTV Smarters. Add your Xtream Codes login, and your full channel list will load within seconds.
