What You Need Before Starting

• An iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running iOS 14 or later
• A stable internet connection (minimum 20 Mbps recommended for HD, 30+ Mbps for 4K)
• An active MyTVWay UK IPTV subscription with your login credentials

Compatible iOS Devices

IPTV on iPhone and iPad works on all modern Apple devices including:

• iPhone 8 and newer (iPhone SE, iPhone X, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 series)
• iPad Air, iPad Mini, iPad Pro (all generations)
• iPod Touch (7th generation)

Step-by-Step: IPTV iPhone iPad Installation Guide

Step 1 — Download IBO Player Pro from the App Store

Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad. Search for “IBO Player Pro” and tap Get to download.

Confirm the download with your Apple ID, Face ID or Touch ID. The app takes less than a minute to install. Once downloaded, tap Open to launch.

Step 2 — Note Your MAC Address and Device Key

When you first open IBO Player Pro, you’ll see a screen displaying your MAC address and Device Key. These are unique codes for your device.

You have two options to set up your IPTV:

Option A (Easiest): Send your MAC address and Device Key to our team via WhatsApp and we’ll activate your subscription for you. Simply send: “Hi, please activate my IBO Player Pro. MAC: [your MAC] Key: [your Key]”

Option B (Manual): Follow Steps 3-5 below to enter your credentials yourself.

Step 3 — Add Your Playlist with M3U Login Details

If you prefer to set up manually, go to Settings in the app. Then tap Settings again, followed by Add Playlist.

Select “M3U File” as the playlist type and enter your MyTVWay login details:

• Playlist Name: Type anything you like (e.g. MyTVWay)
• M3U URL: Found in your confirmation email or WhatsApp message

Tap Save to store your playlist.

⚠️ If you see an error, double check the M3U URL. Make sure there are no extra spaces and that your VPN is turned off.

Step 4 — Restart the App and Click Reload

After saving your playlist, close IBO Player Pro completely. On iPhone, swipe up from the bottom and swipe the app away. On older iPhones, double-tap the home button and swipe up.

Reopen the app and tap the Reload button to refresh your playlist and load all channels.

Step 5 — Wait for Playlist to Process

IBO Player Pro will now process your playlist and load all channels. You’ll see a loading screen while the app fetches all 50,000+ live channels, 180,000+ movies and series from the MyTVWay servers.

This usually takes 15-30 seconds depending on your internet speed. Be patient — this only happens the first time or after a reload.

Step 6 — Enjoy Watching Live TV

Once your playlist is loaded, you’ll see all your content categories — Live TV, Movies, Series, Catch-Up TV and more.

Navigate to Live TV and browse the channel groups — UK Channels, US Channels, Sports, Movies, Kids, News, Music and many more. Tap on any channel to start streaming!

Rotate your iPhone or iPad to landscape mode for the best full screen viewing experience.

🎉 You’re All Set!

Congratulations! You have successfully set up IPTV on your iPhone or iPad. You now have access to 50,000+ live UK channels, 180,000+ movies and series in stunning quality with MyTVWay!

Troubleshooting IPTV on iPhone and iPad

Having issues? Here are the most common problems and solutions:

• IBO Player Pro not loading playlist — Double check your M3U URL. Make sure there are no extra spaces. Close the app completely, reopen and tap Reload.
• MAC address activation not working — Send your MAC address and Device Key again via WhatsApp. Our team will verify and reactivate within minutes.
• Buffering or freezing — Ensure your internet speed is at least 20 Mbps. Try connecting to 5GHz Wi-Fi instead of 2.4GHz for better performance.
• App crashing on iPhone — Make sure you’re running the latest iOS version. Delete and reinstall IBO Player Pro from the App Store.
• No sound on some channels — Check that your iPhone is not on silent mode. Also try adjusting volume with the side buttons, not just the in-app controls.
