Choose the Xtream login
On the welcome screen choose "Xtream Codes" (sometimes called "Xtream API" or "Login with Xtream"). Enter any name for the playlist, then the server URL, username and password exactly as they appear in your Great IPTV welcome email — the URL starts with http:// and includes the port number. Save and wait while channels, movies and the guide load.

Common Apple TV problems
App says 'Invalid username or password'
tvOS sometimes autocapitalizes the first letter. Re-enter the username and password with the iPhone keyboard and check capitals match your email exactly.
The TV switches to HDR on every channel
Turn on Match Dynamic Range under Settings → Video and Audio → Match Content, and set Format to 4K SDR so HDR only activates when content is HDR.
Guide is empty
Open the app's settings and refresh or reload the EPG. With an M3U login you may need to paste the separate EPG link we include in your email; the Xtream login loads it automatically.
