TELOS IPTV Player
In the App Store · Apple TV with tvOS 17 or later
IPTV Player for Apple TV. Your catalog with TELOS.
Settle in, choose a profile and start with your own selection: TELOS brings live TV, movies and series from your account to Apple TV. Favorites, Watchlist and Continue Watching help you find them again. The “For you” row adds recommendations based on your taste, created locally.
For Apple TV with tvOS 17 or later. Your own content account is required.
Your selection with TELOS
Made for your evening of TV
Personal spaces, an approved selection for children and local recommendations complement your catalog on Apple TV.
“For you” stays local
Personal recommendations based on your viewing. Pause learning or reset interests.
Find your selection again
Watchlist and Continue Watching keep interesting titles separate from those you have started.
A space for children
Approved content and a household PIN. Kids profiles do not learn personal tastes.
Your content on an Apple TV device
Install TELOS on your Apple TV and connect your provider’s Xtream account or M3U link. Access the content from your source through a player for your TV. Channels, movies and content subscriptions are not included; the selection comes from your own account that you are legally entitled to use.
This means an Apple TV device running tvOS 17 or later. The Apple TV app on an LG or Samsung TV does not replace that device. Want to use the same product family on the go? See the dedicated pages for TELOS on iPhone and TELOS on iPad.
Connect your source, then make TV time yours
For Xtream, enter your provider’s server address, username and password. For an M3U source, you need the complete playlist link. Both routes connect your own source; TELOS does not supply an additional catalog. The Xtream explanation and M3U guide help you identify the right details.
After connecting, test a channel and a title from the movie or series section first. Then personalize your setup: save favorite channels, add a movie to your watchlist and continue in the right profile. If the same account is running on your phone, observe your provider’s simultaneous stream limit. Another profile in the app does not remove that limit.
Up to five profiles for a shared TV
Separate personal areas help when you watch different series and movies. Use up to five profiles on this Apple TV and find your selection in your own profile. Profiles stay local to that Apple TV; automatic transfer from iPhone is not promised.
For children, approve suitable categories. The household PIN is required to leave the kids profile, so your household decides which area is for whom. The profile answers on this page explain the local profile limits.
Let your taste help you choose next
The “For you” row turns your viewing into a personal selection within your catalog. Suggestions are created on your Apple TV and can become more personal as you watch. This helps you avoid browsing the entire catalog from the beginning every evening.
You stay in control: pause “Learn my taste” or reset interests. Kids profiles do not learn personal tastes. See the local recommendation answers for how the feature works and its limits.
Cache movies under the rules of tvOS
Eligible movies and episodes from an Xtream source can be cached on Apple TV. This requires free storage, direct files and the provider proxy switched off. HLS/M3U8 files and M3U sources are excluded from this download route.
This differs from a permanent archive: tvOS may delete the cache when storage is low. If you want to prepare saved titles for a trip, mobile devices are a separate use case. The download answers on this page cover the cache limits; the device comparison below explains the different requirements.
iPhone, iPad and Apple TV: one family, different uses
On the TV, you control TELOS on a dedicated Apple TV device. iPhone and iPad are the mobile route for your selection and eligible offline titles. Consider the devices separately, especially for storage and profiles:
On small screens, you can scroll this table sideways.
| What you want to do | The appropriate TELOS route |
|---|---|
| Choose on the TV with a remote | Native app on an Apple TV device |
| Download movies before a trip | iPhone or iPad with a suitable Xtream source and the stated requirements |
| Cache a title on Apple TV | Eligible direct file; tvOS may remove the cache |
| Separate personal areas on the TV | Local profiles on this Apple TV |
The code under “Device Sync” is used for the activation described here. This does not promise automatic synchronization of history, downloads or profiles between devices. Explore mobile use on the iPhone and iPad pages.
