4. Open Downloader. In the URL field, enter the short download code from your welcome email and press Go.

If you hit any step, email help@catchontv1.email with a screenshot — we reply fast.

📺 Android TV (Sony Bravia, TCL, Hisense, Nvidia Shield, Chromecast with Google TV)

Same flow as Firestick but cleaner because Google Play Store + the Downloader app are pre-installed on most Android TVs.

1. Go to Settings → Device Preferences → Security & Restrictions → Unknown Sources → enable "Downloader".
2. Open the Play Store, install Downloader if it isn't already there.
3. Open Downloader, enter the short code from your welcome email.
4. Install the APK. Open the fubo iptv app, enter your prepay code, and stream.

📱 Android Phone or Tablet

1. Open your welcome email on the phone. Tap the "Download fubo iptv APK" link.
2. Allow the browser to install apps from this source when prompted.
3. Tap the downloaded APK and install.
4. Open fubo iptv, enter your prepay code, and you're streaming.

📺 Samsung Smart TV (Tizen) — Firestick workaround

The clean fix: plug an Amazon Fire TV Stick (about $30 on Amazon) into any HDMI port on your Samsung TV. Install fubo iptv on the Firestick using the guide above, and stream from the Fire TV input. Your Samsung TV is now a fubo iptv TV — you keep its picture quality and HDMI ARC, you get our service.

📺 LG Smart TV (WebOS) — Firestick workaround

Same fix as Samsung: a $30 Firestick into your LG's HDMI port. Install fubo iptv on the Firestick. Done.

📺 Roku — Firestick workaround

If you currently use Roku, the fastest path to fubo iptv is a Firestick on a different HDMI port. Some viewers keep the Roku for Netflix / Prime / Disney+ and use the Firestick exclusively for live TV.

🍎 iPhone, iPad, Apple TV

Today, the recommended path is a Firestick. For iOS specifically, some users run fubo iptv credentials inside a third-party IPTV player from the App Store, but we cannot officially endorse a specific app and we cannot offer support for setups that route through a third-party player.

📱 Smart IPTV / IPTV Smarters / TiviMate / OTT Navigator (M3U workflow)

Advanced users who already use a favorite IPTV player can use our M3U credentials directly:

1. Email help@catchontv1.email after subscribing and request your M3U URL + EPG URL.
2. Add the M3U as a new playlist in your player.
3. Add the XMLTV EPG URL.
4. Refresh the playlist — the full lineup loads.

This route is supported but unofficial: we recommend our own app for the best buffering and EPG behaviour.

🆘 Troubleshooting

The APK won't install on my Firestick

Make sure "Install Unknown Apps" is on for Downloader specifically (not all apps). Also check that you have at least 200 MB free storage on the Firestick.

Channels load but buffer constantly

Most often this is upstream Internet. Run a speed test on the Firestick (the Downloader app has one). For 4K we recommend at least 25 Mbps. If your speed is fine, change the stream type in the fubo iptv app's settings (HLS vs MPEG-TS) — one usually works smoother per region.

EPG (program guide) is empty

Force-refresh the EPG from the app's settings menu. If still empty after 10 minutes, email us your account email and we'll re-sync your EPG endpoint.

Some channels say "no signal"

Channels rotate occasionally. Try again in 15 minutes. Persistent issues: email help@catchontv1.email with the channel name.
