Arrow navigation
Everything is reachable with the D-pad, with no pointer and no touch gestures.
Supported devices
- Android TV and Google TV — Sony, Philips, TCL and Xiaomi televisions, and off-the-shelf boxes
- Amazon Fire TV — Fire TV Stick and Fire TV televisions
- Android boxes on 7.0 or later, plugged into HDMI
An Android TV box or a Fire TV Stick makes the app available on any television, however old, as long as it has an HDMI socket.
An interface made for the D-pad
On these devices there is no thumb and no cursor: there is a D-pad. The app therefore offers an interface separate from the mobile one, where every item is reached with the arrows and the selection is marked by a golden halo that stays legible even over a bright poster.
Grids, poster rows and the sidebar are sized for reading from the sofa. See Smart TV and boxes.
Installing and setting up
- Open the Play Store on your television or box (the Amazon Appstore on Fire TV) and search for AICKO IPTV.
- Install it, then start the app.
- A six-digit code and a QR code appear: scan it with your phone and enter your credentials on the mobile.
- The television connects on its own and loads your catalogue.
On a Fire TV Stick, prefer a wired network or a good Wi-Fi spot: most stuttering playback on these sticks comes from throughput, not from the player.
Setup on the phone
Six digits on the screen; the typing happens on a real keyboard.
