Step-by-Step: IPTV Windows Installation Guide
Step 1 — Download IPTV Smarters Pro for Windows
Open your browser and visit the official IPTV Smarters Pro website. Navigate to the Downloads section and click the Windows download button.
The download will start automatically. The file size is approximately 80MB so it should complete in under a minute on most connections.
Step 2 — Run the Installation File
Once the download is complete, locate the file in your Downloads folder. Double-click the installer file to start the installation process.
If Windows SmartScreen shows a warning, click “More info” then “Run anyway” — the app is completely safe to install.
Step 3 — Wait for Installation to Complete
The installer will process and install IPTV Smarters Pro on your Windows PC. This usually takes less than a minute.
Once the installation is complete, the app will be ready to launch from your desktop or Start menu.
Step 4 — Choose Login with Xtream Codes API
Open IPTV Smarters Pro from your desktop. On the main dashboard, you’ll see different login options.
Select “Login with Xtream Codes API” — this is the easiest and most reliable method for connecting your MyTVWay subscription.

Once your credentials are verified, IPTV Smarters Pro will load your full channel list, movies, series and EPG guide.
You’ll see the main streaming dashboard with options for Live TV, Movies, Series, Catch-Up TV and EPG (Electronic Program Guide). Your playlist is saved automatically for next time.
