How to Install Max IPTV Player on Android TV & Google TV (2026)

What Is Max IPTV Player?

Max IPTV Player is an IPTV application developed for Android TV and Google TV devices. Its primary appeal is its availability directly from the Google Play Store — a significant advantage over players like TiviMate that require sideloading via APK on all Android TV devices.

The app features a modern interface with clean category navigation, channel searching, an EPG grid for browsing program schedules, and a dedicated VOD section when connected via Xtream Codes. It supports M3U playlists and Xtream Codes API connections, which cover the two most common IPTV playlist formats used by services like TVNado.

Max IPTV Player is a strong alternative to TiviMate for users on Google TV — particularly those using Chromecast with Google TV, TCL Google TV televisions, or Sony Bravia TVs where an easy Play Store installation is preferred over a technical sideloading process.
