A computer is a handy way to watch Apollo Group TV at your desk, in a home office or while travelling with a laptop. On Windows and Mac you use an IPTV player app or a media player and sign in with the details we send you.

Two ways to watch

  • An IPTV player app for Windows or macOS. These look and work like TV apps, with channel categories, a TV guide and often catch-up. This is the best option for regular viewing.
  • A media player that can open your playlist link. This is quick for testing or occasional viewing, but usually has no TV guide or categories.

We’ll recommend a player in your welcome email based on what you need.

How setup works

  1. Install the recommended IPTV player for Windows or macOS.
  2. Choose to add a new playlist or login.
  3. Enter your server address, username and password, or paste your playlist link, exactly as shown in My subscription.
  4. Wait while the channels and guide load, then pick a channel.

Tips for smooth playback

  • Use a wired connection or strong Wi-Fi, especially for live sport.
  • Close heavy browser tabs and downloads while you watch.
  • Plug in your laptop. Battery-saving modes can slow video playback.
  • Connect to a TV with HDMI if you’d like the bigger screen.

Computer questions

Can I watch in a web browser?

We recommend a player app instead of a browser. Apps handle live streams, the TV guide and catch-up much better.

Does it work on older computers?

Generally yes, for HD channels. 4K playback needs a more recent computer and a 4K screen.

Can I use my computer and TV at the same time?

That depends on the connections on your subscription. See multi-device support.
