Get to stream live TV on your Xbox gaming console.

Besides gaming, you can watch IPTV on an Xbox console and stream live TV channels and on-demand content. Therefore, you don’t need to purchase a cable/satellite TV box at an extra cost to watch television channels. There are a few IPTV Player apps for Xbox, which you can get by visiting the Microsoft Store.

There are two ways to watch IPTV on Xbox One. You can use MyIPTV Player or Kodi Media Player to stream live TV content on the Xbox One console. Users should remember that both apps are just media players, and you need to configure the M3U playlist to load the IPTV channels. Therefore, you must sign up for an IPTV service.

With the above two methods, you can only watch content from IPTV providers if they provide an M3U URL. Some IPTV providers, like Players Klub IPTV and Nitro IPTV, only provide login credentials. There is no possible way to stream those IPTV provider content on Xbox. Currently, no IPTV provider app is available in the Microsoft Store for Xbox consoles.

Now, you know the two different ways to watch IPTV channels on Xbox One consoles. Select and use the method which is convenient for you. Besides these two ways, subscribe to live TV providers like Sling TV, fuboTV, or YouTube TV and install these apps directly on your gaming console.
