How to Install Chillio IPTV App on Apple TV & Android TV

This tutorial shows how to install the Chillio App on Apple TV, iOS, and Android TV/Google TV streaming devices.

‘Chillio’ is a highly popular live TV player that is free to use, presents a beautiful, modern interface, and pairs perfectly with any IPTV service. This application was originally developed exclusively for the Apple ecosystem (Apple TV 4K, iPad, iPhone, and macOS).

However, after a massive recent update to v6.0.0, the Chillio application is now officially available for Android TV and Google TV devices and can be installed directly from the Google Play Store.

This update also features massive under-the-hood improvements like faster category loading, advanced content filtering, remote management, a brand new web player, and more.

Developed by Lumos Labs, this application positions itself as a premium alternative to IPTV Smarters by offering seamless cross-device syncing, highly customizable user profiles, and absolutely zero ads.

Below you will find step-by-step screenshot guides to install the Chillio App on our Apple TV and Google TV devices. After the installation tutorial, we will show you exactly how to set up this live TV player by inputting an M3U URL or Xtream Codes login credentials.

Chillio App Categories & Details

Chillio delivers exceptionally smooth HD streaming with high-quality playback and absolutely zero ads. Depending on what content your specific IPTV service offers, it’s very easy to navigate between the different categories on the left-hand menu.

The full-screen mode works beautifully, and you have the ability to quickly add subtitles, edit the aspect ratio, and change other display preferences directly from the player.

If you want to add channels to your Favorites, hover over your preferred channel in the guide and hold down the OK button on your remote. Then click Favorite.

You can access your curated Favorites by clicking the ‘Favorites’ option on the top left menu.

In terms of system settings, you can deeply customize preferences for your account, content filtering, playback engines, and watch state history.

You can also switch the internal engine to the VLC player instead of Chillio’s default media player if you prefer, which helps resolve audio codec issues on older devices.

You can also change the UI themes within the Chillio app if you prefer a different aesthetic.

Other highly notable features within Chillio include:

• Unified Accounts – Merge multiple IPTV service accounts into one seamless experience.
• Offline Downloading – Download VOD content to watch while traveling without internet access.
• Multiview Player – Watch multiple games or news channels at the exact same time.
• Pause & Catchup – Time-shift back in time or pause live channels to take a quick break.
• Sync Across Devices – Start a movie on your TV and finish it on your phone without missing a beat (no iCloud required).
• Dynamic Discoveries – Uncover new VOD content with intelligent recommendations based on your viewing habits.
• Full TV Guide (EPG) – A robust live preview inside the electronic program guide before you launch a channel.

Chillio App Review

Chillio is quickly establishing itself as a premium IPTV player designed to rival industry giants like TiviMate and IPTV Smarters. Here is what our testing revealed about this app:

What We Like

• Available natively in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store (no sideloading needed).
• Absolutely no ads or watermarks, even in the free version.
• A clean, modern, and highly responsive interface sets it apart from clunky older players.
• Passed our VirusTotal security scans with zero threats detected.
• Cross-device sync works perfectly between Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android.
• Flawlessly supports M3U playlists, Xtream Codes API, and other standard formats.
• The Multi-view player is fantastic for watching multiple NFL or soccer games at once.
• Advanced Debrid service integration (TorBox, Real-Debrid, Premiumize).
• A highly active developer with frequent, meaningful updates and responsive support via Discord and Reddit.
• Individual User profiles are perfect for shared household devices.

What We Don’t Like

• Requires a separate, third-party IPTV subscription for actual content (the app itself is just an empty player).
• Initial content loading and EPG population takes considerable time when first adding massive playlists.
• Some users report occasional playlist refresh hangs upon app launch.
• A Premium subscription is required to unlock some of the more advanced customization features.
• No official APK is available on their website for side-loading onto devices without the Google Play Store (like older Firesticks).

Integrating Debrid Services (ChillLink)

In addition to standard live channels, one of the greatest features of Chillio is the ability to integrate premium debrid services for significantly better VOD (Video on Demand) scraping. This includes direct integrations for Real-Debrid, TorBox, Put.io, and others.

However, in order to integrate debrid services for on-demand content, you must set up a “ChillLink” feed via AIOStreams for this to work. After testing, we found this process to be slightly more advanced than anticipated. We’ve put together a screenshot guide below to help you through the process.

TROYPOINT Tip: You MUST already be subscribed to an active premium debrid service like Real-Debrid or TorBox, or this process will not work.

1. Visit the AIOStreams website and start the Simple Setup.

Note: AIOStreams is a popular Stremio add-on that acts as a central hub, combining results from various scrapers and debrid services into a single, filtered list. See our AIOStreams tutorial for a deeper dive.

2. Integrate your debrid services by toggling on the services you subscribe to. As you’ll notice below, we are subscribed to Real-Debrid and TorBox, so we toggled those on.

After toggling on your debrid services, you must connect them using your personal API key. You can find your API keys within the account dashboard of your respective debrid provider.

TROYPOINT Tip: We highly suggest using TorBox if you don’t already have an existing debrid service.

3. Since we are using TorBox, we also installed the specific TorBox add-on module.

4. Continue through the AIOStreams setup process until you reach the Install Addon page. You must choose the ‘ChillLink’ option under the Install menu.

5. After you click Install, copy the generated URL to your computer’s clipboard.

6. Next, visit the ChillLink Manifest Merger page and paste your URL into the ‘Streams URL’ box.

7. After doing this, your “Manifest URL” will update automatically at the bottom. Copy this newly generated URL for the next step.

8. Return to the Chillio app on your Apple TV or Google TV device. Hover over Settings and choose Manage Account.

9. Click Add New Account.

10. Click the ChillLink option.

11. Paste the ‘Manifest URL’ you copied from Step 7 and click Add Account.

12. You should see an ‘Account added’ success message.

13. Now return to the main home screen of Chillio, and you will notice your premium, on-demand movies and TV shows have populated directly into the app.

Is the Chillio App Safe to Use?

The best way to determine the baseline safety of IPTV apps is by scanning their installation files with a virus checker such as VirusTotal.

As you can see from our tests, the Chillio application is completely clean and free of malicious files or trojans.

Furthermore, we take security a step further by actively monitoring the idle network traffic of IPTV applications using Wireshark packet captures. During our network testing, Chillio passed with clean, encrypted DNS requests and showed no signs of aggressive background data logging.

However, because you are feeding third-party IPTV playlists into the player, users should still proceed with caution. We always recommend using protective measures such as a VPN, which will encrypt your online connection, hide your viewing habits from your ISP, and make your streaming activity completely anonymous.

Final Thoughts from Troy

Chillio stands out among the crowded market of IPTV players for Apple TV and Android due to its incredibly modern interface and robust feature set. The premium membership unlocks excellent exclusive features, custom profiles, and cross-platform perks that rival TiviMate.

I highly appreciate that the developer believes in a true freemium model without plastering the app with ads or hard paywalls. For Apple TV and Google TV owners searching for a top-tier, polished IPTV player, this app deserves serious consideration.
