Your playlist, pretty on every screen.
Coming to TV and mobile app stores
PrettyTv is a fast IPTV player with a TV guide that feels like real television — built for the remote, gorgeous on a big screen, and just as good on your phone.
We don’t provide any IPTV playlists. PrettyTv is only a player and comes with no channels. We don’t provide, sell, link to or recommend any TV channels, films, series, playlists, providers or subscriptions. You add your own playlist from a provider you choose, and you’re responsible for having the right to watch it. Read the disclaimer.
We don’t track or save any of your data. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Your logins and playlists are encrypted and stay on your device — nothing is ever sent to us. Read the privacy policy.
Highlights
The best bits, first
Real screenshots from the app. The channels and programmes are PrettyTv’s made-up demo channels — the app itself comes with no content.
Channel list with live preview
Press ◀ and the list slides in — what’s on, how far it’s come, and the rest of the evening, while the channel plays beside it.
Pin, move and hide groups
Hold OK on any group to pin it to the top, move it up or down, hide it, or lock it with a PIN.
Your order, your channel numbers
Edit mode lets you grab a channel and move it up or down with the remote. Every group keeps its own order.
Recently watched, one press away
The channels you just watched sit right under the info bar. 0 jumps straight back to the previous one.
Search the whole guide
Channels and programmes in one search, with what’s on now, coming up and in the archive.
Phone & tablet
The same PrettyTv in your pocket
Tap to play, swipe to zap, turn the phone for full screen. Favourites and groups move between devices with a six-digit code.
Four skins
Midnight, OLED black, High contrast and Light. Try them on this page — use the Skin button at the top.
The whole experience
Take the tour — remote in hand
Everything works with the arrows, OK and Back. Colour keys and number keys are shortcuts, never the only way. Pick a step, or use ◀ ▶.
Add your playlist
One question per screen: Xtream Codes or an M3U link, then server, username and password. The wizard recognises Xtream links by itself and finds the TV guide for you. Just looking? Try the demo channels.
Films and series (posters, plots, seasons, episodes and “continue watching”) appear when your playlist includes them.
All features
Everything a TV player should be. Nothing it shouldn’t.
Written from scratch for the remote control — so the guide, the channel list and the player all feel instant, even on a 2018 TV.
A real TV guide
Live preview, group tabs, a now-line, ±12-hour jumps and reminders for upcoming programmes. Several XMLTV guides, also .xml.gz.
Fast — even with 4,000+ channels
Channels and guide are cached, so the list is up in a fraction of a second. Only the rows you see are drawn.
Live TV first
Channels appear right away. Films and series load in the background and show up when they’re ready.
Favourites & your own groups
Put channels in Favourites or groups like “Football” and “News”, and give them your own channel numbers.
PIN lock for groups
Lock any group with a PIN (parental control), and hide groups you never watch.
Films & series
Posters, plots, seasons and episodes, with “continue watching”.
Audio & subtitles
Pick audio language and subtitles, and see resolution, codecs and bitrate in the info bar.
Search everything
Channels, programmes, films and series in one search. Back takes you where you came from.
Built for the remote
Everything works with the arrows, OK and Back. Number keys, 0 for the previous channel, and a “recently watched” strip.
Make it yours
Four skins, interface size, row spacing, list widths and overscan calibration for every TV.
Move to another device
Send favourites and groups to another device on your home network with a six-digit code, or export them to a file.
Private by design
Logins are encrypted on the device. No accounts, no tracking, no ads. Nothing is sent to us.
Platforms
One player for every screen in the house

FAQ
Questions
Does PrettyTv include any channels?
No. PrettyTv is only a player. It contains no channels, films, series or playlists, and we don’t sell or recommend any. You add a playlist (M3U) or an Xtream Codes login from a provider you choose yourself. The only built-in content is a set of made-up demo channels that show how the app works.
Where do I get a playlist?
From a TV or IPTV service you subscribe to. Many legal services — operators, broadcasters and licensed IPTV providers — give their customers an M3U link or an Xtream Codes login. We have no relationship with any provider and can’t help you find one.
Please only use content you have the right to watch.
Which formats does it support?
Playlists in M3U/M3U8 and Xtream Codes logins, TV guides in XMLTV (also .xml.gz) or straight from Xtream. Streams in HLS and MPEG-TS work on every platform; other formats depend on the device’s own player.
Is my login safe?
Your server address, username, password and playlist links are stored encrypted on your device (Android Keystore, Windows DPAPI, or a non-exportable WebCrypto key on TVs). They’re only ever sent to the server you entered. We never see them.
What does PrettyTv Premium cost?
The price is set in each app store and shown in the app before you buy. The app is free to install and fully open for 7 days. After that, playback in the Google Play and Samsung versions needs Premium, monthly or yearly. The demo channels are always free. See Premium.
How do I cancel my subscription?
In the store you bought it from — Google Play or your Samsung account on the TV. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you’ve paid for. Step-by-step guide.
Does PrettyTv collect any data?
No. There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads and no tracking. Everything stays on your device. Read the Privacy Policy.
Which languages does the app speak?
English, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, French, Spanish and Italian.
