This tutorial shows how to install the Yes IPTV app on Apple TV and iOS devices.

Yes IPTV is a free live TV player supporting M3U playlists and Xtream Codes connections. This player launched on the Apple App Store in May 2025 and gained tvOS support that November. Eleven versions shipped in the first year alone.

Apple TV does not permit sideloading like Android TV/Google TV devices, which narrows your live TV player options. Yes IPTV fills that gap with a modern interface, offline downloads, and other useful features.

Below you will find a screenshot guide to install the Yes IPTV app on our Apple TV 4K. After the installation tutorial we will show you how to setup this live TV player by inputting an M3U URL or Xtream Codes login credentials.

TROYPOINT Tip: We suggest reading our pros/cons of this app below the installation steps to determine if this is a good option for you.

6. Once the app launches click New Playlist.

App Store Reviews

Yes IPTV holds a 4.2/5 rating with 6 reviews at the time of writing. One reviewer praised the clean interface and smooth playlist support.

Another noted solid features but reported lag when switching channels after starting a stream. The developer has been responsive, replying to reviews and rolling out fixes.

Is the Yes IPTV App Safe to Use?

Since Yes IPTV is distributed through the Apple App Store, it has gone through Apple’s review process before being made available to the public. Apple screens apps for malicious code, privacy violations, and other security concerns before approving them for download.

However, users should proceed with caution if using unverified IPTV services. Protect yourself with a VPN to encrypt your online connection and have complete anonymity.

Final Thoughts from Troy

Yes IPTV is a solid choice for Apple TV owners who want a free or low-cost live TV player. With 11 updates in year one, the developer has proven their commitment. Cord-cutters in the Apple ecosystem should give it a look.
