Two minutes to install
You install it straight from this website rather than Google Play, and after that it keeps itself up to date.
On a Fire TV Stick, allow Downloader to install apps
Go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options and turn on "Install unknown apps" for Downloader. You can turn it off again afterwards.
Open Downloader and type www.joiniptvuk.us/fire
Downloader is a free app from the Amazon Appstore. This short address always fetches the newest Fire TV version. On an Android TV box or phone, use www.joiniptvuk.us/tv instead.
On Android TV or a phone, open the download
Download it in your browser and tap the file. Android will ask once if the browser may install apps — say yes, then confirm.

Our app vs TiviMate and IPTV Smarters
TiviMate and Smarters are excellent players, and we say where they do better. The main difference: they need a subscription added from somewhere else, while ours comes with it built in.
| Join IPTV UK app | TiviMate / IPTV Smarters / IBO | |
|---|---|---|
| First-time setup | ✓ Enter your email and password. That is it. | Type a playlist link, or a server, username and password, with the TV remote. |
| Channels included | ✓ Yes — your subscription is built in. | No. You add a subscription from a provider. |
| What to watch | ✓ Suggests a plan for the week from what is on, with a reason for each pick. | You browse the guide yourself. |
| Login details on the device | ✓ Not stored. Each stream link is created on our server when you press play. | Your playlist login is saved in the app. |
| Staying up to date | ✓ Checks for a new version each time it opens. | Depends on the app and where you installed it from. |
| Recording and catch-up screens | — Not available yet. | ✓ TiviMate Premium does this very well. |

Questions about the app
Does the app cost anything?
No — the app is free. To watch you need a Join IPTV UK account: begin with the free 6-hour trial (no card), then pick a plan. Plans cost £10 to £75 depending on length and screens.
Do I have to type in a playlist link?
No. Sign in with the email and password from your purchase and the app sets itself up. Your login details are not stored on the device — each stream link is created on our server when you press play.
Which version is right for my Fire TV Stick?
Choose the Fire TV Stick download. All Fire TV Sticks, including the Lite and 4K models, use the 32-bit version. Android TV boxes, Google TV, Nvidia Shield, and recent phones and tablets use the 64-bit version. If you pick the wrong one it simply will not install — try the other.
Why can I not find it on Google Play?
Google Play does not usually accept IPTV apps that come with a subscription, so we offer it directly from this site. The app checks for updates itself every time it opens.
How do I put it on a Fire TV Stick?
In Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options, allow the Downloader app to install apps. Open Downloader and type www.joiniptvuk.us/fire — that always gets the newest version. Our Firestick setup guide has pictures of every step.
Can I use it on a Samsung or LG TV?
Not on the TV itself — Samsung and LG TVs cannot install Android apps. Plug in a Fire TV Stick or Android TV box, or use an M3U player such as Smart IPTV on the TV. Our Smart TV guide explains both.
How many devices can I use it on?
Install it on as many as you like. Your plan sets how many can play at the same time: one, two or three.
