About

Telly IPTV

Read full description

Telly turns large IPTV libraries into a TV experience built around what you actually watch. Add your own M3U or Xtream source, then organize thousands of available channels into a clean, personal lineup. YOUR CHANNELS, NOT THOUSANDS OF THEM Keep the channels you care about close at hand. Add favorites, build collections, and create your own My Channels lineup without constantly browsing through enormous provider catalogs. MADE FOR WATCHING Quickly get back to recently watched channels, continue movies and series, browse your library, and see what’s on with programme guide information when your provider supplies it. EASIER TO SET UP Already have a list of favorite channel names? Paste them into Telly and quickly find matching channels from your configured sources. MOVIES AND SERIES Browse movies and television series supplied by your IPTV provider, view details and artwork, and continue watching where you left off. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Telly does not provide television channels, playlists, or IPTV subscriptions. You connect your own sources. Your library, viewing history, favorites, collections, and preferences are kept on your devices rather than requiring a Telly account. BUILT FOR APPLE DEVICES Telly is designed specifically for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, with an interface adapted to each screen. Telly requires a compatible IPTV source such as an M3U playlist or Xtream account. Availability of channels, movies, series, programme information, and artwork depends on your provider. Telly does not supply, host, sell, or recommend IPTV services or media content.
