Trex IPTV setup: six devices, one page each
Pick the device in front of you. Each page runs the install in the order you will actually do it, names the real menus rather than describing them, and stops at the one step on that platform where people reliably lose half an hour.
Amazon Fire TV Stick
The stick most people start on. None of it is difficult, but the player is not sold in the Amazon store, so the first two screens are settings rather than installing.
About 6 minutesAndroidAndroid TV, phones and tablets
The most flexible hardware for this, and the platform where the gap between a good box and a cheap one is most obvious within the first ten minutes.
About 5 minutesSmart TVSamsung and LG smart TVs
No extra box to buy or hide, at the price of the slowest interface of any route here. What redeems it is the wired port these sets nearly always carry.
About 7 minutesMAGMAG and Formuler boxes
Nothing to install and nothing to sideload. The box announces itself by MAC address and the portal hands it everything else.
About 4 minutesDesktopWindows and macOS
Far and away the easiest place to get to know a large catalogue, because typing three letters beats thumbing a d-pad down a list of six hundred.
About 4 minutesiOSiPhone and iPad
There is no sideloading on this platform, so what you want is a store-listed player with your details typed into it. It doubles as the most useful diagnostic tool in the house.

There is only one requirement, and it is a low one: the player has to accept either a set of Xtream Codes details or an M3U link. Very little sold in the last decade fails that test, and plenty of hardware older than that passes it. Send the make and the model number to support and the steps for it get written up and added to this grid.
