If you are buying something new

Our honest ranking for IPTV specifically, based on app choice, software updates and how much setup each one needs.

  1. Google TV or Android TV streamer

    The widest choice of player apps straight from Google Play, Ethernet on most boxes, and good programme-guide support. The safest all-round pick. Android TV guide

  2. Apple TV 4K

    Smooth and reliable, with a wired port on most models. Player apps cost a little more but are polished. Apple TV guide

  3. Fire TV on Fire OS

    Popular and affordable in Canada. Check the model: some newer sticks run Vega OS, which only allows Appstore apps. Fire TV buying notes

  4. Your smart TV’s own apps

    Fine if a player exists for your Samsung or LG model year; otherwise add a stick. Smart TVs in Canada
