Quick Summary
Chillio is a modern IPTV player available on the Apple TV App Store and Google Play Store for Android TV. It supports both M3U playlists and Xtream Codes API login, making it straightforward to pair with a TVNado subscription. Download it free, enter your TVNado credentials, and you get instant access to 50,000+ live channels, 130,000+ VOD titles, and 4K UHD streams.
What Is Chillio IPTV?
Chillio is an IPTV client application that launched to give Apple TV and Android TV users a visually polished alternative to older, clunkier players. Unlike apps that were clearly designed for phones and then awkwardly ported to a TV screen, Chillio was built with large-screen navigation in mind — large thumbnails, smooth remote-control scrolling, and an interface that feels at home on a 65-inch display.
The app supports two connection methods: M3U URL and Xtream Codes API. The M3U method lets you paste a playlist URL directly, while Xtream Codes lets you log in with a username and password supplied by your IPTV provider. For TVNado subscribers, Xtream Codes is the recommended approach because it automatically organizes your channels into categories, separates your VOD library, and keeps your series in their own section — all without any manual configuration.
Chillio also includes a built-in Electronic Program Guide (EPG), so you can see what's on now and what's coming up across your channel lineup, much like a traditional cable TV guide. The app is free to download, with certain premium features available via in-app purchase.
Installing Chillio on Apple TV
Installing Chillio on Apple TV takes about two minutes. Here's the exact process:
- From your Apple TV home screen, open the App Store.
- Use the search bar to type "Chillio" — the app icon typically shows a modern, colorful design.
- Select the app from the results and tap Get to download it for free.
- Once installed, open Chillio from your home screen.
- On the welcome screen, tap Add Playlist or Add Provider.
- Choose Xtream Codes as your connection type.
- Enter your TVNado server address, username, and password — these are provided in your TVNado welcome email or via WhatsApp support.
- Tap Connect and wait a few seconds for your channel list to load.
Within moments you'll see your full TVNado channel lineup organized into categories: US channels, sports, news, entertainment, international, and more. Your VOD library and series catalog will also populate automatically.
Installing Chillio on Android TV
Android TV users have an even simpler experience because the Google Play Store is readily accessible on most Android TV devices, including Sony Bravia TVs, Nvidia Shield, Chromecast with Google TV, and many budget Android TV boxes.
- Open the Google Play Store on your Android TV device.
- Search for "Chillio IPTV".
- Select the app and click Install.
- After installation, open Chillio and follow the same Xtream Codes setup steps described above for Apple TV.
If your Android TV device does not have the Google Play Store (common on some budget boxes), you can sideload Chillio using an APK file via a file manager app. However, most major Android TV devices support Play Store installation without any additional steps.

Chillio vs IPTVX vs Flex IPTV for Apple TV
Apple TV users have a handful of solid IPTV app options, and the right choice depends on your priorities:
IPTVXis arguably the most feature-complete IPTV player on tvOS. It has the best EPG implementation on Apple TV, supports multiple playlists, includes a built-in browser for Xtream Codes VOD, and gets regular updates. The tradeoff is cost — IPTVX requires a one-time purchase or subscription. If you want maximum features and don't mind paying for the app itself, IPTVX is hard to beat.
Flex IPTVis one of the oldest Apple TV IPTV apps and has a loyal user base. It supports M3U playlists and has a workable EPG, but its interface feels dated compared to newer entrants. It's a decent free option if you want something established with a track record.
Chilliohits a sweet spot between the two. It's free to download, has a more modern interface than Flex IPTV, supports Xtream Codes (which Flex IPTV sometimes struggles with), and doesn't require the upfront investment of IPTVX. For users setting up Apple TV IPTV for the first time, Chillio is one of the friendliest starting points.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Chillio IPTV free to download?
Yes, Chillio is a free download on both the Apple TV App Store and the Google Play Store for Android TV. The base app is free, and some advanced features may be unlocked via an in-app upgrade. You still need a separate IPTV subscription like TVNado to access live channels and VOD content.
Does Chillio IPTV support Xtream Codes?
Yes. Chillio supports Xtream Codes API login, which means you can enter your TVNado server URL, username, and password directly in the app to instantly load all your channels, VOD, and series without manually importing an M3U file.
Can Chillio play 4K streams on Apple TV?
Chillio supports 4K UHD playback on compatible devices. Apple TV 4K (2nd and 3rd generation) can output 4K HDR video, and TVNado provides 4K streams for select channels. Make sure your home internet connection is at least 25 Mbps for smooth 4K playback.
How does Chillio compare to IPTVX and Flex IPTV for Apple TV?
Chillio offers a clean, modern interface that sits between the feature-heavy IPTVX and the simpler Flex IPTV. IPTVX has the most polished EPG on Apple TV but costs more upfront. Flex IPTV is a solid free option with good M3U support. Chillio is a strong middle-ground choice — especially for users who prefer a contemporary UI with minimal setup friction.
