Compatible Devices

Compatible devices for IPTV in South Africa

The big TV in the lounge, a tablet in the kitchen or a laptop on a work trip to Durban: our IPTV service runs on the devices most South African homes already own. All you need is a suitable app and a stable internet connection over fibre, ADSL or LTE/5G – no satellite dish, no decoder, no installer and no VPN. Depending on your plan you can watch on 1 to 4 devices at the same time.

Samsung and LG Smart TVs

On Samsung (Tizen) and LG (webOS) TVs you install the app straight from the TV’s app store. IBO Player, Smart IPTV and IPTV Smarters Pro all work well.

Android TV and Android boxes

TVs running Android TV or Google TV, and Android boxes, get their app from the Google Play Store. TiviMate and IPTV Smarters Pro are the easiest picks, both with a clear TV guide (EPG) for checking when the Springboks or Kaizer Chiefs kick off.

Amazon Fire TV Stick

A Fire TV Stick is an affordable way to turn an older TV into an IPTV screen. Install IBO Player, TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro and keep the stick close to your Wi-Fi router, or use a mesh point, for a steady picture.

Apple TV, iPhone and iPad

For Apple devices, GSE Smart IPTV and IPTV Smarters Pro from the App Store are good choices – handy for following a Proteas match on your phone.

Android phones and tablets

On Android phones and tablets use IPTV Smarters Pro or IBO Player from the Google Play Store.

PC and Mac

On a computer you can open your M3U playlist in VLC or use IPTV Smarters Pro. Both work on Windows and macOS.

MAG box and Formuler

A MAG box connects through a portal, while Formuler devices use their built-in app. We send you the details you need after you order.

Enigma2 receivers

Enigma2 receivers can be set up too. Our support team will walk you through it step by step.

Internet speed and load-shedding

Plan on a stable connection of about 10 Mbps for HD and about 25 Mbps for 4K. During load-shedding the service keeps working as long as your router has power, for example from a UPS or an inverter.
