Devices That Support Sphere IPTV
Sphere IPTV works on Amazon Fire TV devices, Samsung and LG smart TVs, Google TV and Android TV, Android phones and tablets, iPhone and iPad, Apple TV and Infomir MAG boxes. Most devices use a third-party player app with an Xtream Codes login; MAG boxes use a portal URL. Roku has no direct support but can be used with a workaround.

Read the guideChoosing the best device for Sphere IPTV
If you are starting from scratch, a dedicated streaming device usually gives the best experience. A Fire TV Stick 4K or an Android TV box is inexpensive, runs the widest range of player apps and handles large channel lists well.
If you want to avoid extra hardware, most recent Samsung and LG TVs can run a player app directly, though some apps charge their own activation fee. Apple households will find the Apple TV 4K smooth and reliable. MAG boxes suit people who want a simple box that goes straight to TV.
Whatever you choose, the player app matters as much as the device. See our player app guides for how the main apps compare.
