How to choose for your device

Before installing, decide what you actually need: an M3U link or Xtream access, remote control or touch input, EPG and the convenience features you care about. A feature in a store description may not be available on every platform. An undocumented feature is not necessarily unsupported by the app.

Who is iMPlayer TV for?

The TV app meant here is the HzApps Google Play listing with package com.myiptvonline.implayer. It may suit Android TV users comparing EPG, VOD and, depending on the source, catch-up or recording. The official website lists M3U and JSON playlists. Do not confuse this listing with the separate mobile app.

When is iMPlayer TV a good fit?

Consider iMPlayer TV if you want an Android TV player with the listed EPG and VOD features and optional catch-up or recording. The website describes a trial after registration and annual and lifetime plans, which may depend on the number of devices. Compare the price and plan before buying. Ratings and developer claims are not a substitute for testing your own playlist on your device.

Who is Perfect IPTV for?

This player may be especially relevant if your source uses M3U, XSPF or the Xtream Codes API and you want to add XMLTV EPG. Apple’s description also lists a wide range of network protocols and streaming formats. For Apple TV, the store additionally lists VOD, series, catch-up, parental controls and dark mode. The app is listed for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV; Mac compatibility with Apple silicon is listed but not verified by the store. These details describe supported formats, not the quality or availability of your particular streams.

When is Perfect IPTV a good fit?

Consider it if you need several common playlist and streaming methods or XMLTV EPG and use Apple devices. Apple TV is explicitly listed for television use. Before buying, check which features are free and which require in-app purchases; the US store shows a free download with purchases, but prices may vary by region. If you specifically need catch-up, parental controls or dark mode on Apple TV, those features are listed there; that does not establish the same availability on iPhone or iPad. No independent device test was conducted.

Setting up iMPlayer TV: what to check first

Open the Google Play listing and verify the title, publisher and package identifier. Alternatively, the official product website links to the TV installation route. Add your own playlist using the documented method and first check whether your source supports features such as catch-up or downloads. The website describes M3U and JSON playlists; Xtream was not explicitly confirmed in the reviewed TV information.

Setting up Perfect IPTV: what to check first

Install the App Store listing with ID 1516946830 and check that the seller is Nguyen Van Sy. Then choose the method that matches your source: an M3U or XSPF playlist, or the Xtream Codes API. For programme data, the store lists XMLTV, including GZIP-compressed files. Use only provider credentials and streams intended for you; the app itself says it supplies no channels, playlists or media. The product description does not establish menu paths, so follow the app and official help for the actual setup.

  1. Match the exact app ID and official developer; do not conflate similarly named apps.
  2. Check your device, operating system and the input format used by your source.
  3. Using a source you are authorized to access, test live TV, EPG and the features you need on the actual device.
  4. Before buying, read the trial, renewal, device limits and in-app purchase terms in your country’s store.

An IPTV player is playback software. This comparison does not include a channel package or access to films. You provide your own source and the rights to use it. Do not post playlist URLs containing credentials in the forum.

Frequently asked questions

Does iMPlayer TV or Perfect IPTV include TV channels?
This comparison covers player software. Content and usage rights come from your own source; installing a player does not buy a channel package.
Which player is better: iMPlayer TV or Perfect IPTV?
The right choice depends on your device, playlist format and required features. Compare the documented details for both apps and check unclear points with the developer. A high store rating does not guarantee that a feature works on your device.
How current is the information about iMPlayer TV and Perfect IPTV?
The product research date and store export date appear with the sources. Store prices, features and device availability can change, so we also link to the official listing for your device and country.
Why is TELOS shown first?
TELOS belongs to this website’s operator and is shown first as our own recommendation. This is not a neutral test ranking. Published store ratings are not changed to create this placement.

iMPlayer TV IPTV Player

Google Play describes the TV package only generally; detailed formats and feature conditions partly come from the iMPlayer family website. Xtream was not explicitly confirmed in the reviewed sources. Catch-up, downloads and recording depend on the playlist and source. The mobile app has a different package ID. No content is included; prices and device plans can change.

  • Official source 1: iMPlayer TV — Exact title, publisher HzApps, TV app package ID, large-screen device class, in-app purchases and developer website link.
  • Official source 2: iMPlayer TV — Official product family and platform overview, M3U/JSON playlists, Live TV/VOD, EPG, catch-up, recording, downloads subject to source conditions, cloud management, trial period and published price/device plan.
  • Official source 3: iMPlayer TV — Distinguishes the separate iMPlayer Mobile app (different store name and package); not used as platform evidence for the TV package.

Perfect IPTV Player

Only current store descriptions were reviewed; no download or device testing was performed. Feature lists vary by Apple platform; do not assume Apple TV-specific details apply to iPhone or iPad. Prices and in-app purchases may differ by country.

Playlist and playback tools

Check a playlist with the M3U checker without sharing private credentials, plan bandwidth for your devices, and use the platform guides for setup. A format check is not a playback test or a check of your usage rights.
