Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Apple TV apps in this guide free?

No. iPlayTV and GSE SMART IPTV PRO are paid apps sold on the App Store, and the fee goes to their developers, not to OTTV.

My remote makes typing the URL difficult. Is there an easier way?

Some IPTV apps let you add a playlist from a phone or computer, so check your app's listing or help page. If yours does not, use an Xtream Codes login if the app offers one, because it is shorter than a full M3U link.
