Tablets are excellent IPTV screens: big enough for a whole match, light enough for the kitchen or bed. Many people use one as a second screen for a second game while the main match is on the TV.
iPad
Install UHF, IPTVX, iPlayTV, GSE Smart IPTV or Smarters Player Lite from the App Store and log in with Xtream Codes. iPadOS picture-in-picture keeps a channel playing in a corner while you use other apps; in split view you can follow a live score page next to the stream.
Android tablets
Install IPTV Smarters or OTT Navigator from Google Play. TiviMate is designed for TVs and does not install on most phones and tablets. Android's picture-in-picture works in most players.
Second screen without paying twice?
If the TV and tablet play at the same time, that is two connections. A Viking IPTV 2 device plan covers it at a lower cost than two subscriptions.
Tablet tips
- Download the guide on Wi-Fi; it can be large.
- Lower screen brightness and use headphones for long matches; tablet speakers are thin.
- Keep the app updated; tablet apps change faster than TV apps.
