How it works

Install, scan the QR code, watch

No typing addresses and passwords with the remote: your phone does the boring part.

  1. Step 1: Install the app on your TV

    Open AshyTV. The first time, the TV shows a QR code and an activation code.

  2. Step 2: Scan the QR code with your phone

    Sign in or create your account in the panel, confirm it's your TV and choose the licence.

  3. Step 3: Watch

    The list reaches the TV on its own. Changed something in the panel? The TV updates without you touching anything.

One licence per TV — pick yours:

  • Partner code. Your service provider already takes care of the licence: enter the code they gave you and you're done.
  • Personal licence. For people who use their own list (M3U or Xtream Codes) without a partner.

For viewers

Everything you expect from a great player

Made for the remote control, designed not to freeze and to make the TV yours.

Watch

  • Live TV with guide

    What's on now and next with a progress bar, a channel list with an info panel and tuning by number.

  • Live preview on Linux

    On the computer, the selected channel already plays beside the list before you open it.

  • Movies and series

    Resume where you left off and jump to the next episode automatically.

  • Cast with photos

    See who's in the movie or series and open the actor's page with everything of theirs in your list.

  • Favorites and history

    Your favorite channels and what you watched last, always one click away.

  • Audio and subtitles

    Pick audio tracks and subtitles by language name and adjust the aspect ratio.

Always on

  • Automatic reconnection

    If a channel stalls, AshyTV reconnects by itself. You only notice a short pause.

  • Backup server

    When a server (DNS) stops responding, the TV moves to the next one and keeps playing.

  • Works without the panel

    If the panel goes down, the TV keeps working normally for up to 72 hours.

  • Fast on basic TVs

    Lists with tens of thousands of items scroll without stutter, even on entry-level TVs.

Your way

  • Hide what you don't want

    Hide channels, groups and categories by holding OK on the TV (or right-clicking on Linux). Show them again anytime.

  • Long titles in full

    Long names scroll when selected, so you can read them all.

  • Themes and 10 colors

    Dark or light theme and ten accent colors.

  • Your language

    Portuguese, English and Spanish on TVs; 29 languages on Linux.

  • Parental control

    Hide adult content and protect it with a PIN.

  • Free TV

    Free-to-air channels that broadcasters themselves offer for free, as an extra source.

Security and privacy

  • Activation bound to the TV

    Activation is tied to the device's hardware: copied to another TV, it doesn't work.

  • Encrypted passwords

    Your list's password is stored encrypted and never shown back.

  • Secure DNS

    Optional on Android TV and Linux: encrypted DNS lookups (DNS-over-HTTPS) for more privacy.

  • No ads, no trackers

    Video goes straight from the source to your TV. We don't sell data.

For partners and resellers

Less support, happier customers

Offer AshyTV with your own code. Your customers activate the TV with their phone, get your settings and keep watching even when a server goes down.

  • Checks every 5 minutes

    Each DNS is tested automatically: online, slow or offline, with uptime history.

  • In-panel notifications

    Know right away when a DNS goes down and when it comes back.

  • Bulk change

    Switched servers? One click and every TV gets the new address.

  • Customers and TVs

    A dashboard with your customers, active TVs and plan slots, with sensitive data masked.

  • Guided tour

    The panel shows you around the first time: you're up and running in minutes.

  • Anti-sharing

    Device-bound activation and alerts for suspicious use protect your slots.

AshyTV provides the player and the licence panel; it does not manage IPTV accounts — you keep your own system. Each partner is responsible for its content and must hold the rights to what it distributes.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Does AshyTV sell or provide channels and lists?

No. AshyTV is only the player, like any video player. It does not sell, host or provide channels, movies, series or lists. You use the lists you are entitled to use, from your own service provider. The only exception is Free TV, which points only to channels that broadcasters themselves make available for free and to openly licensed or public-domain works.

Which TVs and devices are supported?

Samsung Smart TVs with Tizen 4 or newer and LG with webOS 4 or newer (usually 2018 models onwards, Samsung projectors included), Android TV or Google TV devices (Android 6 or newer: TVs, boxes and sticks) and Linux computers.

How do I activate my TV?

Open the app on the TV, scan the QR code with your phone (or go to painel.ashytv.com/ativar and type the code on screen), sign in, confirm the TV and choose the licence. Within seconds the list reaches the TV.

What happens if the server goes down?

If a channel stalls, AshyTV reconnects by itself. If the server (DNS) stops responding, the TV automatically moves to the next server registered by your provider, in priority order, and keeps playing — without you doing anything.

What are multiple DNS for?

Partners can register up to 5 servers (DNS) with priority. The panel tests each one every 5 minutes, shows whether it's online, slow or offline, notifies when it goes down or comes back, and every customer's TV uses the next one on the list when one fails. Changing them all at once takes one click.

What if the internet or the panel goes down?

Video needs the internet, of course. But if only the panel is unreachable, the TV keeps working normally for up to 72 hours after its last check.

What's the difference between a partner code and a personal licence?

With a partner code, the TV licence belongs to your service provider: they give you the code and the settings come ready. A personal licence is for people who want to use their own M3U or Xtream Codes list on their own.

I got a new TV. Do I need another licence?

No. When activating the new TV, choose “replaces a TV I already have”: the licence moves to the new TV without taking another slot. You can also unlink a TV from the app itself, in Settings.

Is my data safe?

Activation is bound to the TV's hardware (copied, it won't work on another device), your list's password is encrypted and TV identifiers are stored only as hashes. What you watch never goes through our servers, there are no ads or trackers, and on Android TV and Linux you can turn on secure DNS (DNS-over-HTTPS). Details in the Privacy Policy.

I'm a partner. Do you manage my customers' IPTV accounts?

No. You keep your own account system. AshyTV provides the player, the licence panel, your servers (DNS) and the TVs' settings.

Does the Linux version need activation too?

No. AshyTV for Linux is free and open source: you add your lists right in the app. The code is at github.com/big-comm/ashytv.
