Nexus4kTV: what you need for IPTV setup
To install Nexus4kTV, you need four things and no technician. The e-mail you get after ordering your Nexus4kTV subscription holds the essentials; have these four ready:
- Your Nexus4kTV login details, sent by e-mail once your payment goes through (check your spam or junk folder if you can't find them)
- A compatible device: Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Sony and others), Amazon Fire TV Stick, Android phones, tablets and TV boxes, iPhone and iPad, MAG boxes, or Enigma2 receivers (Dreambox, VU+)
- A connection of 30 Mbps or more, ideally on 5 GHz Wi-Fi or Ethernet
- An IPTV player app that takes one of the login formats: M3U playlist link (with the EPG link for the TV guide), Xtream Codes login, or MAC portal URL (MAG boxes). The right one depends on your device (see below)
How does IPTV work?
IPTV brings television over your internet connection, with no dish or cable box. The ITU, the United Nations agency for telecommunications, defines it as "multimedia services such as television/video/audio/text/graphics/data delivered over IP-based networks". Nexus4kTV provides the channels and the on-demand library; your player app displays them.

Your app connects with an M3U playlist link, an Xtream Codes login (the server URL (with its port, such as :8080), your username, and your password) or, on a MAG box, a portal URL. You enter them once and the app loads everything.
Nexus4kTV: which IPTV app for your device?
The app our guide recommends for each device, and the alternatives it names. Any app that takes an M3U link or an Xtream Codes login will work.

Set up safely: Nexus4kTV tips
- Install your player app from your device's official app store (Google Play, the Amazon App Store, the App Store or your TV's own store), as the guides below do.
- Your login is personal: subscriptions can't be shared, and sharing your credentials breaks the terms of service.
- Never post your password, server URL, M3U link or portal URL in a public message or a screenshot.
- On a MAG box or an STB emulator, keep your device's MAC address private.
- A player app provides no content by itself: the channels come from your Nexus4kTV subscription.

Smart TVs install the player app from their own app store. The guide recommends Smart IPTV on Samsung TVs; LG TVs work best with IPTV Smarters or SS IPTV.
- Open your TV's app store, find "Smart IPTV" or "IPTV Smarters", then download and install it.
- Open the app, go to its settings and enter your Nexus4kTV M3U playlist link from your welcome e-mail.

Nexus4kTV: common IPTV setup problems and fixes
The most frequent cases. Still stuck? Message the team on WhatsApp, 24/7.
The picture stutters or buffers
Check these five points: a connection of 30 Mbps or more, 5 GHz Wi-Fi or Ethernet, hardware acceleration switched on in the player app, a larger buffer in the app (10 to 15 seconds on Android), and no other downloads or streams running at the same time. If 4K still stutters, pick the Full HD version of the channel.
Login refused in Xtream Codes
Enter the server URL (with its port, such as :8080), your username, and your password exactly as they appear in your welcome e-mail. When the app asks for a port, it's usually part of the server URL, such as :8080.
Channel list or TV guide out of date
Use the refresh or reload option in your app's playlist settings. If that doesn't help, delete the M3U and EPG links and enter them again.
No welcome e-mail
Check your spam or junk folder. Still nothing? Message the team on WhatsApp: they check your order and send it again.
Two screens at the same time
Each plan includes 1 connection, so one screen streams at a time. Extra connections are sold as add-ons: ask on WhatsApp for the price.
Not sure which app to pick
Tell the team your device and model on WhatsApp: they recommend an app and the best settings for it.
