How to Install Chillio IPTV App on Apple TV & Android TV (2026)

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:

1. From your Apple TV home screen, open the App Store.
2. Use the search bar to type "Chillio" — the app icon typically shows a modern, colorful design.
3. Select the app from the results and tap Get to download it for free.
4. Once installed, open Chillio from your home screen.
5. On the welcome screen, tap Add Playlist or Add Provider.
6. Choose Xtream Codes as your connection type.
7. Enter your TVNado server address, username, and password — we send these on WhatsApp after payment.
8. 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. For other tvOS players and Apple TV settings, see our full Apple TV IPTV guide.

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.

1. Open the Google Play Store on your Android TV device.
2. Search for "Chillio IPTV".
3. Select the app and click Install.
4. 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 IPTV Features

Once connected to TVNado, Chillio unlocks a complete viewing experience:

• Live TV with EPG: An interactive program guide shows current and upcoming programming across all channels. You can browse by category or time slot.
• VOD Library: Access TVNado's 180,000+ on-demand movies and TV episodes organized by genre, release year, and rating.
• Series Support: Browse complete TV series with season and episode organization, just like a streaming platform.
• 4K UHD Playback: Chillio's video player handles 4K streams smoothly on Apple TV 4K and capable Android TV devices.
• Multiple Playlists: You can add more than one IPTV provider within Chillio, useful for households that subscribe to multiple services.
• Favorites: Mark frequently watched channels as favorites for quick one-click access without scrolling through hundreds of channels.

Entering Your Xtream Codes Login Without Typos

Most failed first logins in Chillio are typing errors, not account problems, so it pays to enter the three fields carefully. The server address, username and password must match what your provider sent character for character.

• Server address: enter it exactly as supplied, including http:// or https:// and the port number after the colon if there is one. Do not add a trailing slash, and do not paste a full M3U link into the server field.
• Username and password: both are case-sensitive. A capital letter typed as lower case, or a space copied from the end of a message, is enough to get a login error.
• Typing on Apple TV: when a text field is open on Apple TV, an iPhone on the same Apple account shows a keyboard prompt, so you can type or paste the login on the phone instead of using the on-screen keyboard with the remote.
• Typing on Android TV: the Google TV app on your phone can act as a remote with a keyboard, which is far quicker than the TV's on-screen keyboard for long passwords.

The same three fields work in every Xtream Codes player, so if you ever switch apps, our Xtream Codes setup guide explains what each one does.

Chillio Not Loading Channels? Check These in Order

If Chillio connects but shows nothing, or refuses to connect at all, work through these checks from the top; each one rules out a bigger cause before you reach the smaller ones.

1. Re-check the login. Delete the playlist, add it again and paste the details fresh rather than editing the old entry.
2. Test the same login elsewhere. Enter it in a second player on a phone. If it fails there too, the account or server is the problem; if it works, the issue is on the TV.
3. Check the account status. An expired subscription, or a plan already in use on its maximum number of devices, produces a login error that looks the same as a typo.
4. Restart the device and the router. A stale network connection is a common cause of a playlist that hangs while loading.
5. Give the guide time. Channels can appear before the programme guide does. If the EPG is empty, wait a few minutes and refresh before treating it as a fault.

An "authorization failed" style message has the same causes in every player, and our guide to the failed to authorize login error goes through each one. If channels load but stutter, the fix is usually the network rather than the app, which our IPTV buffering troubleshooting steps cover.

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.
