Know which Apple device you are setting up
iPhone and iPad are mobile devices, while Apple TV is a separate television platform. Check the current TELOS listing on the exact device before installing, because supported systems and available features can differ. A feature described for the mobile app should not be assumed to work the same way on Apple TV.
TELOS is a player for a source you provide. It does not include television channels, sports rights or a subscription catalogue. You need a lawful playlist or provider login, and the provider’s terms determine what content you can access.
Add and verify your source
Prepare the connection details supplied by your provider, such as an M3U link or Xtream Codes login. Treat them like account credentials: do not post them publicly or submit them to unofficial support pages. Follow the app’s current instructions rather than expecting a particular menu label. Test a known working stream before importing a large library.
If programme information is missing, ask whether the provider supplies compatible guide data. A working stream and an empty guide can be separate issues.
Use mobile features within their scope
The Apple listing describes film and episode downloads for offline viewing on iPhone and iPad, along with AirPlay through the system player. These are mobile-app details. They do not establish offline EPG, downloads on every television platform, or identical AirPlay behavior from every device. Confirm feature details in the current listing for the device you intend to use.
Check playback methodically
- Confirm the device, operating system and official TELOS listing.
- Verify that your own source works and that your account is active.
- Test one item, then check guide data and audio or subtitle options separately.
- For AirPlay, use the system route described by Apple and check the current device guidance.
If playback differs between iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, compare the source and app support on each rather than assuming one device proves another. A player cannot fix an unavailable source or expand platform features beyond what the app and device support.
Questions and answers
Does TELOS include Apple TV channels or films?
No. It is a player for a source you provide, not an Apple TV content catalogue.
Are TELOS offline downloads available on every platform?
The Apple listing describes film and episode downloads for offline viewing on iPhone and iPad. Do not extend that claim to other platforms.
