What is Orbit?

An IPTV player, not an IPTV service.

Orbit is an IPTV player app for Amazon Fire TV, Android TV and Google TV. It plays the M3U playlists and Xtream Codes logins you already have from your IPTV provider, sorts their channels into countries and categories, merges duplicate channels into one with automatic backups, and learns what each person at home likes to watch.

Works on
Fire TV Sticks, Cubes and Fire TV smart TVs (Fire OS 6+), Android TV and Google TV (Android 6+)
Plays
M3U and M3U8 playlists, Xtream Codes logins and XMLTV guides, from one provider or several
Includes
No channels, films or series: you bring your own IPTV service
Costs
£1.19 a month, £2.99 every 3 months or £7.99 a year, after a free 12-hour trial
Installs
From this site with the free Downloader app, in about two minutes. Install guide

Designed for the remote

An IPTV app that feels like TV.

No spreadsheets of channel names. Big type, clear pills and cards that lift when you land on them, so you always know where you are from across the room.

01

Built for the remote.

Every screen is a few presses deep. The card you're on lifts towards you, the way the best TV apps do it.

02

Home picks up where you left off.

The channel you were watching, the episode you stopped halfway, and the sport that's live right now. One press down.

03

Hold OK for everything else.

Favourite it, add it to a list, pick another stream or play it in another app. Works on remotes without a menu button too.

The Tidy engine

Messy IPTV playlists, sorted on arrival.

Providers label channels any way they like. Orbit reads the country, category and quality out of every name, cleans the name itself, and files each channel where you'd expect it.

130
countries and regions, written UK:, |UK|, [GB] or any other way
14
clean categories, from group names in most European languages
1×
correct a group once and Orbit remembers it on every refresh

Merge & failover

Duplicate channels become one, backups included.

Most providers list the same channel in SD, HD, FHD and 4K. Add a second provider and you have it twice more. Orbit shows it once, plays the best version, and keeps the rest ready.

  1. 01Five versions found across two providers
  2. 02Folded into one channel, best quality first
  3. 03The stream drops: Orbit reconnects
  4. 04Still down: it switches to a backup and keeps playing

Profiles that learn

Profiles that give everyone their own Home.

Who's watching?

Everyone gets a profile with their own favourites, history and My List. Orbit asks when it's picked up after half an hour, and goes straight back in for quick returns.

Maya's Home

The episode she stopped halfway, the next one ready to go, and more like the series she finishes.

Leo's Home

Rows move to match what each person opens most. Leo goes to live sport first, so it comes first, and the sequel he hasn't seen is waiting.

And the rest

Every IPTV feature you'd expect. Done properly.

Set up from your phone

Scan the code on the TV and type your provider's login on your phone, not with the remote. Backups and restores work the same way.

A guide that keeps up

A fast grid with a red now line, a preview in the corner and catch-up where your provider offers it. Guide data matched by name as well as ID.

Pause live TV

Pause, rewind and jump back to live.

Record

Record programmes from the guide. The player shows when a channel is recording.

Multi-view

Up to four channels at once, or two on 1 GB sticks. The highlighted one has the sound; press OK to watch it full screen.

Skip intro & Up next

Skips the titles, never the show. A 10-second countdown to the next episode, and a "Still watching?" after three in a row.

Reminders

A nudge a minute before it starts, over anything in Orbit, with Watch now.

Every soundtrack

Orbit brings its own decoders for formats your TV can't play itself.

Backup & restore

Providers, profiles and settings, saved to your phone. Moving to a new stick takes a minute.

Parental PIN

Adult content is off until you turn it on, and turning it on needs the PIN.

Your colour

Six accent colours for the whole app. We're partial to Violet.

Bring your own provider

Your IPTV playlist. Our player.

Orbit comes with no channels, films or series. Add the M3U playlist or Xtream Codes login from your IPTV service, or two of them, and Orbit does the rest.
