Pixlar8k – How to Set Up IPTV on Firestick & Smart TV

Choose your device and follow the steps with the login details from your welcome message. Our team is on WhatsApp 24/7 if you get stuck.

Before you start

What you need for your Pixlar8k IPTV setup

IPTV setup needs no technician. Your welcome message from your Pixlar8k subscription contains everything you need; have these four things ready:

  • Your activation details: the server address, your username and your password, an M3U link or a MAG portal address, sent with your setup instructions once your order is confirmed
  • A compatible device: Samsung and LG Smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, Android TV boxes, Android phones and tablets, iPhone and iPad, Apple TV, MAG and Formuler boxes or Windows PCs and Macs
  • A stable connection: Ethernet or strong 5 GHz Wi-Fi; a faster connection helps with 4K
  • The player app for your device (see the table below)

How does IPTV work?

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) streams live TV over your internet connection instead of cable or satellite. Pixlar8k provides the channels, movies and series; your IPTV player app shows them on screen.

The app signs in with an Xtream Codes login (the server address, your username and your password) or an M3U link; a MAG box uses a portal address instead. You enter them once, and the app loads everything, TV guide included.

Apps

Pixlar8k: which IPTV app for your device?

Pixlar8k works on Samsung and LG Smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, Android TV boxes, Android phones and tablets, iPhone and iPad, Apple TV, MAG and Formuler boxes and Windows PCs and Macs. These are the players our own guide names for each device.

Install safely: Pixlar8k's advice

  • Install players only from your device's official app store, the developer's official website or the address our team gives you, never from an unknown site.
  • Don't change the server address our team gives you, and don't share one connection across several devices at the same time.
  • Never post your password, playlist link, MAC address or portal details in a public message, forum or screenshot.
  • Contact our team before resetting a player app, and use a VPN only if our team recommends it for an internet-provider issue.
  • Player apps contain no channels: the content comes from your Pixlar8k subscription.

IBO Player Pro, SetIPTV, NetIPTV or IPTV Smarters

  1. 1Open your TV's app store and install IBO Player Pro or SetIPTV (NetIPTV and IPTV Smarters work too)
  2. 2Open the player and note down the MAC address it shows on screen
  3. 3Send that MAC address to our team on WhatsApp to activate the player
  4. 4Once our team confirms the activation, restart the player
  5. 5Wait for the categories to load; restart the player again if the channel list doesn't appear right away

Type or photograph the MAC address carefully: one wrong character stops the activation.

Set up IPTV on Firestick (Amazon Fire TV)

IPTV Smarters Pro, installed with the Downloader app

  1. 1On the Fire TV home screen, search for Downloader and install it from the Amazon Appstore
  2. 2Go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options → Install Unknown Apps and turn it on for Downloader
  3. 3Open Downloader, enter the IPTV Smarters Pro download address our team gives you on WhatsApp, and install the app
  4. 4Open IPTV Smarters Pro and choose "Login with Xtream Codes API"
  5. 5Give the profile any name, then copy the server address, your username and your password exactly as they appear in your welcome message, with no extra spaces
  6. 6Let the first sync finish, then add your favorite channels for quicker access

No Developer Options? Open Settings → My Fire TV → About and click your device's name seven times to show them.

Set up IPTV on Android TV, a phone or a TV box

IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate

  1. 1Open Google Play and install IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate
  2. 2Open the app and choose the Xtream Codes login ("Login with Xtream Codes API" in IPTV Smarters Pro)
  3. 3Copy the server address, your username and your password exactly as they appear in your welcome message, with no extra spaces, and check that the server address starts with http:// or https://
  4. 4Wait while the channels, movies, series and TV guide download

TiviMate is made for TV screens; on a phone or tablet, IPTV Smarters Pro is the easier choice.

Set up IPTV on iPhone, iPad or Apple TV

Smarters Player Lite

  1. 1Open the App Store on your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV and install Smarters Player Lite
  2. 2Open it and choose "Login with Xtream Codes API"
  3. 3Copy the server address, your username and your password exactly as they appear in your welcome message, with no extra spaces
  4. 4Keep the app open during the first sync while the list loads

If the player can't connect, turn off iCloud Private Relay for a moment and try again.

Set up IPTV on a Formuler box

MyTVOnline

  1. 1Open MyTVOnline on your Formuler box
  2. 2Add a new connection (portal) with the details from your welcome message
  3. 3Copy the server address, your username and your password exactly as they appear in your welcome message, with no extra spaces

Not sure which details go where? Send our team on WhatsApp a photo of the screen.

Set up IPTV on a Windows PC or Mac

VLC or any M3U-compatible player

  1. 1Install VLC or any M3U-compatible player, only from the developer's official website or your computer's app store
  2. 2In VLC, open Media → Open Network Stream (Windows) or File → Open Network (Mac)

  4. 4Open the playlist view to browse the channels, and save the playlist so you don't have to paste it every time

VLC plays the M3U playlist but shows no TV guide; a wired Ethernet connection gives the most stable playback on a computer.

Set up IPTV on a MAG box

no app: the box connects through a portal address

  1. 1Find the box's MAC address in Settings → System Settings → Device Info (it starts with 00:1A:79)
  2. 2Send that MAC address to our team on WhatsApp: the box must be registered before it can connect
  3. 3Open Settings → System Settings → Servers → Portals
  4. 4Enter Pixlar8k as the portal name and the portal address our team gives you
  5. 5Save, unplug the box for ten seconds and start it again

Type the MAC address and the portal address carefully: one wrong character stops the activation.

FAQ

Pixlar8k IPTV installation: your questions

How do I set up IPTV on my TV?

On a Samsung or LG Smart TV, install IBO Player Pro, SetIPTV, NetIPTV or IPTV Smarters from the TV's app store, then send the MAC address the player shows to our team on WhatsApp to activate it. On any other TV, plug in a Fire TV Stick, an Android TV box, an Apple TV, a Formuler or a MAG box and follow the guide for that device.

How do I use IPTV?

You install a player app on your TV, streaming stick, phone or computer, then sign in with the details your provider sends you. With Pixlar8k, that's Xtream Codes details (the server address, your username and your password), an M3U link or a MAG portal. The app then loads 55,000+ live channels, the movies and series and the TV guide.

Which IPTV app should I use?

It depends on your device: Samsung / LG Smart TV: IBO Player Pro, SetIPTV, NetIPTV or IPTV Smarters; Amazon Fire TV Stick: IPTV Smarters Pro, installed with the Downloader app; Android TV, phone or box: IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate; iPhone, iPad or Apple TV: Smarters Player Lite; Formuler box: MyTVOnline; Windows PC or Mac: VLC or any M3U-compatible player; MAG box: no app: the box connects through a portal address.

What are Xtream Codes, M3U and a MAG portal?

They're the ways to load your subscription. An M3U playlist is a single link you paste into the player. Xtream Codes is a login with three details: the server address, your username and your password. A MAG box connects through a portal address registered to its MAC address.

How do I set up IPTV on a Firestick?

Install Downloader from the Amazon Appstore, turn on Install Unknown Apps for it (Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options), then use it to install IPTV Smarters Pro with the download address our team gives you on WhatsApp. Open IPTV Smarters Pro, choose "Login with Xtream Codes API" and enter your details.

How do I activate IPTV on a Samsung or LG Smart TV?

Smart TV players such as IBO Player Pro and SetIPTV are activated with the TV's MAC address. Open the player, note down the MAC address it shows on screen and send it to our team on WhatsApp; once it's activated, restart the player and your channels load.

Can I get IPTV on my phone?

Yes. Pixlar8k works on Android phones and tablets and on iPhone and iPad. On Android, use IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate from Google Play; on iPhone or iPad, Smarters Player Lite from the App Store. The login details are the same as on your TV.

Where are my login details?

After you order, the team confirms your plan and payment, then sends your login details and setup instructions in your welcome message. If you can't find them, message us on WhatsApp.

How to order

What internet speed do I need for IPTV?

A stable connection matters more than raw speed. Ethernet or strong 5 GHz Wi-Fi gives the steadiest picture, and a faster connection helps with 4K and when several screens watch at once. The 24-hour free trial lets you check your own connection first.

The channels won't load. What should I do?

Check that your subscription is active and that your details have no extra spaces, then restart the player, the device and your router. If it still doesn't work, send our team on WhatsApp your device model and the step where you're stuck.
