Apple TV IPTV questions
Do I need to jailbreak my Apple TV?
No. All the apps above are in the official App Store.
Can I use the same app on my iPhone?
Many tvOS players are universal, so buying once covers iPhone and iPad too. Each device that streams at the same time uses one connection.
Does Apple TV HD support 4K?
No. Apple TV HD plays up to 1080p. For 4K you need an Apple TV 4K and a 4K TV.
