Installing the UHF app on Apple TV and iPhone is straightforward once you know which type of IPTV login you received.
The important step is choosing the correct playlist option:
Xtream when you have a server address, username and password,
or M3U/M3U8 when you have one complete playlist URL.

This guide explains how to install UHF on both Apple devices, add your IPTV playlist,
avoid common setup mistakes, and troubleshoot issues such as invalid login,
missing channels, EPG problems and playback issues.

UHF Setup at a Glance

  1. Open the App Store on your iPhone or Apple TV.
  2. Search for UHF – Love your IPTV.
  3. Install and open the application.
  4. Select Xtream if you received server details.
  5. Select M3U/M3U8 if you received a playlist URL.
  6. Save the playlist and test channels, EPG and playback.

What Is the UHF App?

UHF is an IPTV player designed for Apple devices including iPhone, Apple TV and iPad.
It allows users to connect their own IPTV playlist and watch available live channels,
movies and series through a compatible IPTV service.

Important: UHF is only a media player.
It does not provide channels or IPTV subscriptions.
You need your own authorized playlist or login details from your IPTV provider.

What You Need Before Installing UHF

  • An iPhone running iOS 16 or later or Apple TV running tvOS 17 or later.
  • An active Apple Account for the App Store.
  • A stable internet connection.
  • Your IPTV subscription details.
  • Xtream login details or an M3U/M3U8 URL.
  • Your allowed number of simultaneous connections.

Do not share your M3U URL or screenshots containing your username and password.
Many playlist URLs contain login information.

Visitors who need compatible IPTV details can review the
RoxTV IPTV plans
or request help through
RoxTV support.

Should You Choose Xtream Codes or M3U in UHF?

Choose the option based on the information provided by your IPTV service.

Xtream Codes Is Usually Easier for Beginners

Xtream separates the information into different fields,
making setup and troubleshooting easier.

  • Playlist name: RoxTV
  • Server URL: Your supplied server address
  • Username: Your IPTV username
  • Password: Your IPTV password

Enter only the server address in the server field.
Do not paste a complete M3U link into this section.

M3U Setup

An M3U URL is a playlist link that tells the player where to retrieve your channels.
If you want to understand how this format works, read our guide:
what an M3U playlist is and how it works.

Because M3U links are long, many users prefer adding the playlist on iPhone first
instead of typing everything with an Apple TV remote.

Make Apple TV Typing Easier With Your iPhone

Typing a long server address or M3U URL with the Apple TV remote can be difficult.

When a text field appears on Apple TV, a nearby iPhone may display an Apple TV keyboard notification. Use the iPhone keyboard to enter long URLs, usernames or passwords more easily.

Make Apple TV Typing Easier With Your iPhone

When typing on Apple TV, your iPhone can make the process much faster.
A nearby iPhone can display an Apple TV keyboard notification when entering text.

This is useful for:

  • Long server URLs.
  • Passwords containing symbols.
  • M3U playlist links.

Can You Use UHF on iPhone and Apple TV at the Same Time?

Installing UHF on two devices does not automatically mean you can watch two streams at the same time.
The application and your IPTV connection allowance are separate.

  • UHF controls where the player is installed.
  • Your IPTV plan controls how many devices can stream simultaneously.

Before testing Apple TV, stop playback on your iPhone.
If Apple TV works after closing the iPhone stream, you may have reached your connection limit.

Check your current access details through the
RoxTV plans
before testing multiple devices.

Best UHF Settings for Apple TV and iPhone

Avoid changing many settings immediately.
Start with the default configuration and adjust only when you identify a specific problem.

1. Test Stream Format Only When Needed

Some channels may work better with different stream formats.
If a channel fails or behaves differently, test the available options and compare the results.

2. Avoid Using Zero Buffer on Unstable Connections

A faster channel start does not always mean better playback.
If your connection is unstable, reliability is more important than saving a few seconds.

Before changing settings:

  • Test several channels.
  • Restart your device.
  • Check your internet connection.
  • Compare different networks if possible.

3. Check Language and Subtitle Options

UHF supports available audio tracks and subtitles.
Canadian users should check English or French options before assuming a channel problem exists.

4. Organize Favourites After Testing

After your playlist works correctly:

  • Add favourite channels.
  • Remove unused categories.
  • Create a cleaner channel list.

Do not change players simply because one channel does not work.
First identify whether the problem affects:

  • One channel.
  • Every channel.
  • One device.
  • Every device.
  • Only the EPG.
  • Only the IPTV playlist.
  • The application itself.

Correctly identifying the problem helps you find the right solution instead of changing applications unnecessarily.
