Fast-Forward on your Apple TV

Apple TV is one of the smoothest ways to stream, and the same apps also run on iPhone and iPad. Our first choice is IBO Player Pro, fully supported by the Fast-Forward team. IPTVX, UHF and iMPlayer are good alternatives if you prefer them.

Apple TV, iPhone and iPad

All apps on this page are in the App Store for all three devices. The steps are written for Apple TV; on iPhone and iPad you simply tap instead of using the remote.

Apple TV

Apple TV HD or Apple TV 4K. Keep tvOS up to date via Settings, System, Software Updates.

iPhone

Handy on the go. Keep iOS up to date via Settings, General, Software Update.

iPad

A great second screen. Keep iPadOS up to date via Settings, General, Software Update.

One connection at a time. A standard subscription allows one stream at once. Watching on your iPhone and Apple TV at the same time will stop one of them. Need more? Ask us about multi-connection packages.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to what Apple users ask us most.

Does this also work on iPhone and iPad?
Yes. IBO Player Pro, IPTVX, UHF and iMPlayer are all in the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and the steps are the same. Keep in mind that a standard subscription allows one stream at a time.
Which app do you recommend?
IBO Player Pro. It is the only app on this page that our team fully supports, from activation to troubleshooting.
Why can't I use Fastmate V2 on Apple TV?
Fastmate V2 is an Android app. Apple TV only runs apps from the Apple App Store, so Fastmate V2 cannot be installed on it. An Android TV box via HDMI is the way to use Fastmate V2.
Do you help with IPTVX, UHF and iMPlayer?
We send you the subscription details you need, but we do not actively support these apps. For questions about the apps themselves, contact their developers.
Do the apps include channels?
No. The apps are players. The channels, films and series come from your Fast-Forward subscription.
Can I test it before I buy?
Yes. IBO Player Pro can be used free for 6 days after you install it, so you can try the app before you order a licence. For the channels you can request a free 24-hour trial, no payment needed.
