What is an Android TV Box and how does it work with IPTV?

An Android TV Box is a streaming device that runs Android TV OS. It connects to your TV via HDMI and allows you to install IPTV apps from the Google Play Store or via APK files. Once you install an IPTV app and log in with your subscription, you can watch live TV channels and on-demand content.

Do I need a smart TV to use an Android TV Box?

No. An Android TV Box works with any TV that has an HDMI port, including older non-smart TVs. The box provides the smart functionality, so you can turn any TV into a smart TV capable of running IPTV apps.

Can I use the same IPTV subscription on my Android TV Box and phone?

Yes. Most IPTV subscriptions support multiple devices. You can use the same account on your Android TV Box, smartphone, tablet, and other compatible devices. Check with your provider about the number of simultaneous connections allowed.
