NET IPTV is a name used for a player app available on some smart TVs and devices. Like other players, it plays playlists you add from your own service. People often search the name when moving to or from it, for example after buying a new TV or when a different player suits them better. Monster IPTV is not affiliated with the developer of any app using this name, and features change, so follow the app's official instructions.
This guide focuses on moving your setup between TV player apps: what transfers, what you must set up again and how to make the switch quick.
What moves with you, and what does not
| Item | Moves between apps? |
|---|---|
| Playlist link or Xtream login | Yes, it comes from your service |
| Guide (EPG) link | Yes |
| Favourites | Usually no; recreate them |
| Hidden groups and order | Usually no |
| Parental PIN | No; set it again |
| App activation | No; each app and device is separate |
Your subscription belongs to your service, not to the app, so changing players never means losing access.
Before you switch
- Note your playlist link or login details in a private place.
- Note your guide link, if separate.
- List your favourite channels and their order.
- Note parental control settings.
- Check the new app's activation terms.
Moving to an upload-style app
Some TV apps link playlists to your device through a website:
- Install the app from the TV's official store.
- Note the device identifier shown on screen.
- Upload your playlist on the official website shown in the app.
- Restart the app.
Our SmartIPTV guide and SmartOne IPTV guide describe similar flows.
Moving to a login-style app
Other players let you enter an Xtream login or M3U link directly on the TV. A phone keyboard app from your TV platform makes typing easier.
Rebuilding favourites quickly
- Start with your top ten channels; add others over time.
- Use search rather than scrolling to find each one.
- Hide groups you never watch to shorten the list.
Testing the new app
Run old and new apps side by side for a few evenings if your device limit allows. Compare guide clarity, smoothness on sport and ease of navigation. Keep whichever works better.
Removing the old setup
- Remove your playlist from the old app or its website, where possible.
- Uninstall the old app if you no longer need it.
- If you are giving away an old TV, reset it so your details are removed.
Moving between device types
Switching from a smart TV app to a streaming stick, or the other way round, follows the same principle: your playlist and guide links stay the same, while favourites and settings are recreated. Streaming sticks often offer more players, so moving to one can widen your choice. If you go from a stick back to a TV app, check that the TV's store lists a player supporting your login type.
Several apps on one TV
Some viewers keep two players installed: one with a clear guide for everyday viewing and one with better playback for sport. That is fine, but each active stream counts toward your service's device limit, so close one app before opening the other.
Keeping a migration note
Store a short private note with your playlist link, guide link, favourite channels, parental PIN and which apps are installed on which TVs. With that note, setting up a new app or TV takes minutes instead of an evening.
Common mistakes
- Losing the playlist link before switching.
- Expecting favourites to transfer automatically.
- Paying for activation before testing the new app.
- Leaving playlists on a TV you have sold.
A worked example
A viewer buys a new TV and wants to try NET IPTV instead of their previous player. They note their M3U and guide links, install the app, upload the playlist using the TV's identifier and rebuild ten favourites. After comparing for a week, they keep the new app and remove the playlist from the old TV before giving it to a relative.
Checklist
- Save playlist and guide links.
- List favourites and settings.
- Install and set up the new app.
- Test side by side.
- Clean up the old setup.
Key terms explained
- Upload-style app: a TV player that loads playlists added through a website.
- Login-style app: a player where you type the login on the TV.
- Device identifier: an ID linking a playlist to your TV.
Using a player with Monster IPTV
Monster IPTV logins and playlist links work in many third-party players. Support can help you move between apps; see the supported devices page and our best IPTV player guide.
Choosing between NET IPTV and alternatives
Judge any player on guide clarity, smoothness on sport, remote navigation and how easily you can update your playlist. Test NET IPTV and at least one alternative with the same playlist for a few evenings, then keep the one your household prefers.
Remote and keyboard help
Typing long links with a TV remote is slow. Use the TV platform's official phone remote app, or an upload-style player's website, to enter details quickly, accurately and without frustrating typing errors.
