IPTV on a Sony Bravia TV: best app and setup
Set up IPTV on a Sony Bravia with Google TV or Android TV: the best player app, how to log in, and what to do on older non-Android Bravia sets.
Quick answer
Sony Bravia TVs from the last several years run Google TV or Android TV, so you can install TiviMate or IPTV Smarters from the Play Store and log in with your IPTV details. Older Bravia sets without Android need a streaming stick.

Most Bravia TVs sold since 2015 run Android TV, and recent models run Google TV. Both install IPTV players directly, which makes a Bravia one of the easiest TVs for IPTV.
Install IPTV on a Bravia
- Press Home and open the Play Store (Apps on Google TV models).
- Search for TiviMate or IPTV Smarters and install.
- Open the app, choose Xtream Codes and enter your server, username and password.
- Add favourites so the channels you watch most sit at the top.
Every app on this page asks for the same thing: either an Xtream Codes login (server address, username, password) or an M3U playlist link. IPTV Trends sends both as soon as your payment clears. If an app offers both, use the Xtream Codes login: it loads the channel groups and the TV guide together. See M3U vs Xtream Codes.
Bravia settings worth changing
- Eco settings: turn off Idle TV standby so the TV does not switch off during long matches.
- Network: use the Ethernet port on the back for the main TV.
- Storage: Bravia TVs have limited space; remove unused apps if the guide is slow.
Older Bravia without Android
If your Bravia has no Play Store, it cannot run modern players. Plug in a Fire TV Stick or Google TV device; see how to watch IPTV on a TV that is not smart.
