Setting up CatchON TV is quick and easy. Follow our step-by-step guides below to install your IPTV service on any device — Amazon Firestick, Android, iOS, Smart TV, Windows, Mac, or MAG Box. Most installations take less than 5 minutes and require no technical knowledge.
The CatchON TV setup process is the same across all devices. Here's the universal overview before you dive into your specific device guide below.
Choose your preferred CatchON TV plan from our pricing page or start with a free 24-hour trial. You'll receive your login credentials via email within minutes.
Download a compatible IPTV player app on your device. We recommend IPTV Smarters Pro, TiviMate, or OTT Navigator. See device-specific guides below for recommended apps.
Open the IPTV player, enter your CatchON TV Xtream Codes or M3U URL from the welcome email, and start enjoying 24,000+ live TV channels in HD & 4K quality.
Click on your device below for a detailed step-by-step installation guide. CatchON TV is compatible with virtually every streaming device and smart TV on the market today.
Amazon Firestick is the most popular streaming device for CatchON TV. Our service is fully compatible with all models, including the Fire TV Stick Lite, Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and the Fire TV Cube. Setting up CatchON TV on your Firestick takes just a few minutes using the Downloader app.
If you experience buffering on CatchON TV while using a Firestick, we recommend clearing the cache of your IPTV player app. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications > IPTV Smarters Pro > Clear Cache. Also, ensure your Firestick is connected to a 5GHz Wi-Fi network for optimal CatchON TV streaming performance.
CatchON TV works perfectly on the Android ecosystem. This includes Android TV boxes like the Nvidia Shield, Chromecast with Google TV, Xiaomi Mi Box, as well as Android smartphones and tablets. The installation process is incredibly straightforward since most apps are available directly in the Google Play Store.
If the CatchON TV EPG (TV Guide) fails to load on TiviMate, go to Settings > EPG > Update EPG. If you are using a generic Android TV box and cannot find the recommended apps in the Play Store, you can download the APK files directly through the web browser and install them manually after enabling "Install Unknown Apps" in your Android security settings.
Apple users can easily stream CatchON TV on their iOS devices. Whether you are at home using an Apple TV or on the go with your iPhone or iPad, CatchON TV delivers seamless HD streaming through several excellent iOS-compatible IPTV players available in the App Store.
If CatchON TV channels are freezing on your iPhone while using cellular data, ensure that your mobile carrier is not throttling video streams. A VPN can bypass carrier throttling. Additionally, make sure you are not exceeding your CatchON TV plan's allowed simultaneous connections if sharing the account with an Apple TV in the same house.
If you own a Samsung Smart TV (Tizen OS) or an LG Smart TV (WebOS), you do not necessarily need an external device like a Firestick. You can install CatchON TV directly on your television using native Smart TV applications. This provides a clean, single-remote experience for all CatchON TV content.
Many native Smart TV apps (like Smart IPTV or IBO Player) require a small one-time activation fee (usually around $5-$8) after a 7-day trial. This fee goes to the app developer, not CatchON TV. If your CatchON TV channels suddenly disappear after a week on a Smart TV, it means the app's trial has expired and you must activate the app via their website using your TV's MAC address.
Watching CatchON TV on your computer is perfect for multi-tasking or streaming sports at your desk. CatchON TV is fully compatible with both Windows (10/11) and macOS laptops and desktop computers using versatile media players.
If CatchON TV channels constantly skip or loop in VLC Player, you need to click the "Loop" button at the bottom of the player until it shows a "1" or is disabled. By default, VLC may try to loop through the M3U playlist rapidly if the connection drops for a millisecond.
MAG set-top boxes (produced by Infomir) are dedicated IPTV devices loved by traditionalists for their cable-box-like interface. CatchON TV supports all popular MAG models, including the MAG 250, 254, 256, 322, 420, and 520. Connecting your MAG box requires a CatchON TV Portal URL rather than an M3U link.
To use CatchON TV on a MAG box, you MUST provide us with your device's MAC Address (usually found on a sticker under the box, starting with 00:1A:79) when placing your order or contacting support. The CatchON TV servers must whitelist your specific MAC address before the portal URL will successfully connect. If you get a "Page Loading Error" or "Authentication Failed", verify that the MAC address registered on your CatchON TV account is correct.
If you're having trouble setting up your CatchON TV service, our support team is available 24/7 to help you get started. We offer remote assistance and screen-sharing support to ensure your IPTV service is running perfectly on your device.
