Device by device
Where to watch, and how
On every device, the app comes from the official app store. You’ll find the name of the recommended app in your activation email.
- Samsung (Tizen), LG (webOS) and others
Smart TV
A compatible IPTV app, installed from your TV’s own app store.
On most recent models, the app installs in a few minutes from the Samsung or LG store. Some older TVs no longer offer it. In that case, a Fire TV or Google TV stick plugged into an HDMI port solves the problem.
For 4KRecent 4K Smart TVs decode HEVC natively.
- Android TV televisions and boxes
Android TV
The app comes from Google Play, just like any other.
Sony, Philips, TCL, media boxes: plenty of devices run Android TV. You install through Google Play and find your way around entirely with the remote.
For 4KCheck the box is sold as 4K and supports HEVC.
- Google TV televisions, Chromecast with Google TV
Google TV
Works the same way as Android TV, with the Google TV interface.
Google TV is built on Android TV: install the compatible app from Google Play and it appears alongside your other apps. The 4K version of Chromecast with Google TV handles Ultra HD.
For 4KGo for the 4K version of Chromecast with Google TV.
- Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Cube

- Android and iPhone
Smartphone
A compatible app from Google Play or the App Store.
Handy for following a match from room to room, or keeping an eye on the news. Stick to Wi-Fi where you can: an hour of high-definition video soon uses several gigabytes.
For 4KOn a small screen, HD and Full HD are more than enough.
- Android and iPad
Tablet
A bigger screen you can take anywhere in the house.

For 4KFull HD strikes the right balance between quality and bandwidth.
- Windows and macOS
Computer
A compatible player app, installed on your computer.
A computer suits a home office or a student room. Connect it to the TV with an HDMI cable and it doubles as a player for the big screen.
