How to watch IPTV on Apple TV

1. Add the source on your iPhone

   Open IPTV Pano on the iPhone. On a new install, tap Start from scratch first. Then tap More and Sources, and tap the plus button (Add Source) at the top right. Under Type, pick M3U and paste the playlist address into M3U URL, or pick Xtream and fill in Server, User and Password. Your provider gave you these. Tap Add.

2. Let the import finish

   Pano downloads the channel list and asks which channel groups to import. With iCloud on, it then shows a card named Ready for your other devices. The card says your sources are stored encrypted in your private iCloud and reach every device on the same Apple Account. Tap Continue.

3. Open IPTV Pano on the Apple TV

   Install IPTV Pano on the Apple TV if you have not yet, and open it. The first screen is Welcome. If it reads Your sources are already here, go to step 4. If it does not, go to step 5. iCloud can need a moment to deliver the source.

4. Same Apple Account: choose Use Them

   The screen counts the sources it found, for example 1 source from your iCloud. Select Use Them. Pano opens and loads your channels. You are done, and steps 5 to 7 are not needed.

5. Other Apple Account or no iCloud: choose Get from Another Device

   Select Get from Another Device. If the screen shows Your sources are already here but you want the sources of an iPhone on another Apple Account, select Transfer from iPhone next to Different Apple Account?. The window Import from Device lists the devices on your network under Found on Network. Keep IPTV Pano open on the iPhone, on the same Wi-Fi. If tvOS or iOS asks whether IPTV Pano may find devices on your network, allow it. Select your iPhone.

6. Tap Allow on the iPhone

   The Apple TV now shows Confirm on and the name of your iPhone, with Tap "Allow" there. The iPhone opens a sheet by itself that reads, for example, Apple TV wants to copy your sources. Tap Allow. Nothing is sent before you do, and the Apple TV waits for up to three minutes. Decline stops the copy.

7. Select Continue

   When the copy is done, the Apple TV says, for example, Received 1 source and 2 playlists, from the name of your iPhone. Select Continue. Pano starts as it does after Start from scratch, keeps what arrived and loads your channels.

• Can I use my iPhone as a remote for the Apple TV?

  Yes. On the iPhone, in Start or Live, tap the remote button next to the search field and pick your Apple TV under On another device. The play button then switches the Apple TV to that channel instead of playing it on the iPhone. Pick This device to play on the iPhone again.

• Do I have to type my provider login with the Apple TV remote?

  No. You type it once on the iPhone, where a keyboard is easy to use. The Apple TV takes the source over from iCloud or from the iPhone, and its transfer window has no field for a login.

• Does IPTV Pano include channels?

  No. IPTV Pano is a player. You need an IPTV provider of your own and add what it gave you: an M3U link, an Xtream login or an Enigma2 receiver in your network.

• The Apple TV does not show my iPhone. What can I do?

  The list says Searching for devices… and then No devices found when nothing answers. IPTV Pano has to be open on the iPhone, on the same Wi-Fi as the Apple TV. Check that IPTV Pano may find devices on your network, in the privacy settings of both devices. A device with an older version of the app appears greyed out with Update needed: update the app there.

• What does the copy contain?

  Your sources with their logins, your playlists with their favourite groups, and your settings. The Apple TV adds and updates, it deletes nothing. The copy is encrypted on its way. A source without a saved login is left out.

• Is the copy a sync?

  Over iCloud, devices on the same Apple Account keep your sources in step. Get from Another Device is a one-time copy. If you change something on the iPhone later, send it again with More, My Devices and Send to Another Device.

• I already set up the Apple TV with Start from scratch. Can I still copy?

  The copy is offered on the welcome screen only. If the Apple TV uses the same Apple Account with iCloud, the sources you add on the iPhone arrive by themselves. On an Apple TV with another account, you can add a source under Settings, Sources and Add Source, which means typing it with the remote.

• Which Apple TV do I need?

  An Apple TV that runs tvOS 26 or later. The iPhone needs iOS 26 or later.

IPTV Pano plays your own IPTV source on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, with a program guide and no account. It sells no channels: you bring the provider.
