ProperIpTv is a player for the IPTV service you already subscribe to. It provides no channels of its own. SIGN IN IN SECONDS Your provider sends a long link with your username and password buried inside it. Paste that link and ProperIpTv fills in all three sign-in fields for you. Your password goes straight into the system Keychain. If your provider gave you a plain M3U or m3u_plus playlist link instead, paste that โ€” there is no username or password to find. BUILT FOR A REAL SUBSCRIPTION A 28,000-channel list is not a list, it is a wall. ProperIpTv reads the country, genre and quality that providers bury in channel names, so "uk sport hd" is a search that actually works. And it shows you what it understood, as chips you can remove one word at a time. ONE ROW PER CHANNEL SD, HD, FHD and 4K copies of the same channel collapse into a single row. On a real provider that removed nearly 4,000 duplicate rows. IT PICKS THE VERSION YOUR DEVICE CAN PLAY Not the one with the biggest number in its name. What you have actually watched counts for more than any label on the feed. WHEN A STREAM FAILS, IT TELLS YOU WHY Not a hexadecimal error code. "The provider refused this channel, it may not be in your package, or your one connection is already in use elsewhere." Then it offers the versions of that channel your device can play, one tap away. A SECOND DECODER, BUILT IN Playback starts on Apple's own player, so you keep AirPlay, Picture in Picture and the native controls. For the formats Apple's frameworks cannot open, a bundled decoder takes over by itself. ALSO INSIDE - Programme guide showing what is on now across your favourites - Pin a programme and it writes a real Calendar event with an alert - Movies and series, with resume points and Continue Watching - Favourites, recently watched, and search by country, genre and quality - Native apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac Requires an active subscription from an IPTV provider. ProperIpTv does not include, host, resell or index any channels, films, series or playlists. You supply your own provider's address and login. Not affiliated with any provider or broadcaster.
