Watch IPTV on your phone and tablet.

Your MARINIOS IPTV subscription travels with you. Here is how to set it up on iPhone, iPad and Android, and how to keep it smooth on mobile data.

A phone or tablet is often the second screen in a household, and sometimes the only one when you are away from home. The app is the same idea as on a TV: a player that opens your channels, films and series with your usual login.

Setup takes about three minutes and the login is identical to the one on your TV.

Setup

Set it up in 4 steps.

01

Install the player

Install the IPTV player we recommend for iPhone, iPad or Android. We send the link with your login details.

02

Open and add a user

Choose “Add user”, “Add playlist” or “Xtream Codes” when the app opens.

03

Enter your MARINIOS IPTV login

Type the username, password and server URL we sent you, or paste the M3U link.

04

Save your favourites

Add the channels you watch most, so you reach them in one tap.

Mobile data

Watching outside the house.

Choose a lower quality

HD instead of 4K uses far less data and looks fine on a small screen.

Watch your allowance

An hour of HD video uses roughly 1 to 2 GB. Check your plan before a long session.

Download nothing

IPTV streams live, so there is nothing stored on the phone and nothing to delete afterwards.

Use Wi-Fi when you can

Hotel and home Wi-Fi are usually more comfortable than mobile data.

Tips

Get the best on a small screen.

  • ✓ Turn the phone sideways for full screen.
  • ✓ Use headphones in public, phone speakers are not great for dialogue.
  • ✓ Keep a power bank handy, video drains the battery fast.
  • ✓ Close other apps before a long film.
  • ✓ Remember the phone counts as one of the screens in your plan while it plays.
In detail

Phone, tablet or both?

A tablet is the better choice for watching a film or a series. The screen is large enough to enjoy, it stands on a table by itself, and the battery lasts far longer than a phone under video.

A phone is the practical option for short sessions: the news in the morning, a programme on the train, something in the background while you cook. It is always in your pocket, which is exactly the point.

In both cases the login is the same, so you can install the app on every device in the house and simply respect the number of screens in your plan when several play at once.

If you travel abroad, your subscription keeps working wherever you have an internet connection. Check the Wi-Fi speed at your destination and drop to HD if the connection is slow.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Does IPTV work on iPhone and iPad?

Yes. A player app for iOS connects with the same login as your TV.

Can I watch abroad?

Yes, anywhere with an internet connection. Lower the quality if the connection is slow.

How much data does it use?

Roughly 1 to 2 GB per hour in HD, and much more in 4K.

Does my phone count as a device?

Yes, whenever it plays at the same time as another screen.

Can I cast from my phone to the TV?

Some players support casting. It is usually smoother to install the app on the TV or on a stick.
