Sorts messy lists
Group names like |UK| SPORTS ᴴᴰ, UK - Sport and [GB] all end up under United Kingdom › Sports, and channel names are cleaned too.
IPTV Smarters alternative
An IPTV Smarters alternative that sorts the mess.
Got an Xtream Codes login with your IPTV service? Orbit plays it on Fire TV and Android TV, just like IPTV Smarters Pro, then tidies your channel list and learns what everyone at home likes.
What's the same
Same login. Tidier channels.
- Players only. Neither includes channels: you bring your own IPTV service.
- The same logins. M3U playlists and Xtream Codes logins work in both.
- Films and series too. Both show live TV, films, series and a TV guide from an Xtream Codes login.
- Easy to install. Both go on a Fire TV Stick with the free Downloader app.
What Orbit does differently
Made for messy playlists.
One channel, not four
SD, HD, FHD and 4K copies become one channel that plays the best version, with the others kept as backups.
Backups that kick in
If a stream drops, Orbit reconnects, then switches to a backup copy or to the same channel from your second provider.
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.
Profiles that learn
Everyone at home gets their own history, My List and a Home screen that learns what they like to watch.

Fair's fair
When IPTV Smarters may suit you better.
- You don’t want to pay for a player. IPTV Smarters Pro is free. Orbit costs from £1.19 a month.
- Your provider set it up for you. Many IPTV services hand out their own branded copy of IPTV Smarters and help you with it.
- You also watch on a phone or computer. IPTV Smarters has versions for more kinds of device. Orbit is made for TVs.
Switching
Switch in three steps.
- Install Orbit. In Downloader, type the code 9797120. The install guide shows every step.
- Scan the QR code on your TV. Sign up on your phone. Your 12-hour free trial starts when the TV is linked.
- Add your provider. Type the same playlist address or Xtream Codes login you use now, on your phone.
You can keep IPTV Smarters installed while you try Orbit.
Questions
Before you switch.
Can I use my IPTV Smarters login in Orbit?
Yes. The server address, username and password you type into IPTV Smarters are an Xtream Codes login, and Orbit uses them the same way. If your provider gave you an M3U link instead, that works too.
Why pay for Orbit when IPTV Smarters is free?
You don’t have to decide yet. Try Orbit free for 12 hours with your own channels and see whether a tidy list, automatic backups and profiles are worth £1.19 a month to you.
Which devices does Orbit run on?
Fire TV devices on Fire OS 6 or later, and Android TV or Google TV devices on Android 6 or later. It's tuned to stay smooth on 1 GB sticks. Fire TVs running Vega OS can't run Android apps, so Orbit can't run on them.
Is Orbit legal?
Orbit is a media player, like any video player app: it contains no channels, films or series and doesn't link to any. Whether what you watch is legal depends on the service you use and where you live, so only use services you have the right to watch.
