IPTVSOSO, a name plenty of people also type as IPTV SOSO, is television over the internet with a soft spot for the channels people grew up with: classic film channels, comedy and drama repeats, older cartoons and the music channels of another era. Around them sit 25,000+ live channels and 120,000+ movies and series on demand. A month costs $15 and a year $69; there is a 24-hour trial at no cost before you decide, and money back within 7 days on a first order that fails to play.

Classic channels on IPTVSOSO, and how to find them
Only the format of each channel is described here. What airs on a given day is up to the broadcaster, and the program guide is the reliable place to look.
Does IPTVSOSO have classic movie channels?
Yes. TCM, a channel built around classic films, is in the US film line-up, next to MoviePlex and Starz Encore, which are known for films from earlier decades. Hallmark and Hallmark Movies run TV movies, while HBO Signature, Epix / MGM+, Sundance and IFC add film channels with mixes of their own. The guide to the classic channels shows what sits where.
Where are the classic channels in the line-up?
Spread across the playlist rather than gathered in one folder. Inside your player, channels are filed by country and genre, so the film channels sit with the other US movie channels, Boomerang with the children’s channels, and Gold, Dave, ITV3 and ITV4 with the rest of the British line-up. Searching by name beats scrolling through 25,000+ entries, and the full IPTVSOSO channel list shows the groups.
How do I make a classics list in my player?
Use favorites. Search for each channel by name, TCM, Gold, ITV3 and so on, and mark it as a favorite; most players then show your marked channels together on one row. In TiviMate, favorites and hiding groups need the Premium version, while IPTV Smarters Pro lets you mark favorites in the free app. Favorites are usually saved on the device itself, so repeat the list on each TV.
Are there channels with old cartoons?
Boomerang is the one to look for: it is known for older cartoons and sits with the children’s channels in the US line-up. What it airs follows the broadcaster’s schedule, so check the program guide rather than expecting a particular show at a particular hour. For Saturday-morning cartoons at any hour of the week, the on-demand library is the other place to search.
Which UK channels show comedy and drama repeats?
Gold and Dave are the comedy-repeat channels among the British ones, and ITV3 is built around drama repeats, with ITV4 beside it. They suit the habit of putting on something familiar for half an hour instead of starting a new series. Their schedules run on UK time, so outside Britain a Sunday-afternoon slot can land at breakfast or late at night, depending on where you live.
Do MTV and VH1 still play music videos?
Not necessarily. Both began as music channels and both are in the US entertainment line-up, but what they show today differs from what they showed in their early years. If music is the reason you want them, look at their listings in the program guide during the free trial before you choose a plan on the strength of it.
Will old films look like 4K?
No, and no service could do that. Older films and shows reach the screen as SD or HD pictures, and that is all the detail they carry; your player and TV scale them up to fill the panel, which can look clean on a good set but adds nothing new. The 4K channels are for modern sport and new releases, as IPTVSOSO in 4K explains.
How do I see when the next classic film starts?
Open the EPG, the program guide that every plan includes. Move along the row for TCM, MoviePlex or Hallmark Movies and you can see what starts when, often for hours ahead. If a row is empty, that channel is not sending listings at the moment; refreshing the guide in your player’s settings sometimes fills it. The IPTVSOSO TV guide page covers the rest.
Can I watch a film I missed earlier on a classic channel?
Sometimes, through catch-up, but only on channels that carry it. Where a channel offers catch-up and your player supports it, earlier slots in the guide can be opened and played from the start. Not every channel has it and the window varies, so check during the trial. Otherwise, search the on-demand library by title, or read how catch-up works.
Does the on-demand library have older films and finished series?
Yes: among 120,000+ movies and series, older titles sit beside recent ones, and series are arranged by season and episode. In IPTV Smarters Pro, movies and series each have their own section next to Live TV. Titles come and go over time and none can be promised in advance, so look up any title you care about while the free trial is running.
Is IPTVSOSO only for classic TV?
No. The older channels are where this site puts its attention, but nothing else is taken away to make room for them. Sport, news, children’s programs, new movies and series, and channels from 60+ countries come with every plan, on the same login. One person can follow a live match while another watches a Sunday-afternoon film, provided the plan has two connections.
The rest of the subscription
The older channels are the thread through this site, but every plan carries the full line-up. These answers cover what else comes with it.
What exactly do I get with an IPTVSOSO subscription?
A login that opens 25,000+ live channels from 60+ countries plus 120,000+ movies and series to stream whenever you like, with the program guide included and catch-up wherever a channel provides it. Pictures come in 4K, FHD or HD depending on the channel. You watch through a player app on a TV, stick, box, phone or computer you already own; there is no dish to fit and no box to rent.
Who is IPTVSOSO for?
Anyone who likes to put something familiar on. That covers someone who wants the Saturday-morning cartoon channels of their own childhood back, and equally someone younger who found older films online and would like a channel that plays them. The film, comedy and drama channels of earlier decades are the thread here; the rest of the line-up looks after everybody else in the house.
Are sport, news and new releases included too?
Yes, every plan carries them. The sports groups follow the major US, UK and European competitions, news channels from several countries run around the clock, and the on-demand library adds recent movies and series beside the older titles. The IPTVSOSO sports line-up lists the broadcasters league by league, so this page can stay with the general questions.
How reliable is the service?
The servers run at 99.9% uptime, which allows for less than nine hours of downtime across a whole year. What you see at home also depends on your own line: a steady connection and a network cable to the main TV do more for a smooth picture than a big headline speed. If one channel fails while the others play, report it in the chat so that feed can be checked.
How fast is activation after payment?
In under 15 minutes in most cases, counted from the moment payment is confirmed. That clock covers the login only; the slower part is usually putting a player on the TV, which takes a little longer on a stick that needs Downloader first. If you install the player while the payment is going through, you can sign in as soon as the details land.
The IPTVSOSO name, the app question and where orders go
Several unrelated businesses use this name. These answers explain which one you are dealing with here, and what it does not offer.
Is there an IPTVSOSO app or APK to download?
No. The service has never put out an app of its own, either in a store or as an APK file. A subscription is a set of login details that goes into a player made by someone else; the two common ones are IPTV Smarters Pro and TiviMate. If you come across a download that claims to be the service, leave it alone, because its contents cannot be checked. Read why there is no IPTVSOSO app for the players to use instead.
Is this the official IPTVSOSO website?
It is. This site and its WhatsApp number, +212 663 813 479, are run by the people who issue your login, and they are the only two places an order is taken. Official means nothing more than that here: it is not a claim of any license or of a link with a broadcaster, league or studio. A login offered anywhere else under the name did not come from this service.
Are other IPTVSOSO websites connected to this one?
No. Other businesses sell IPTV under the same name on different domains, and none of them is connected to this site or its owner. An order placed with them is invisible to us: we cannot renew it, repair it or refund it, and this site never links to them. If you already bought from one, that seller holds your account; a new order here starts with a message to the number on this page.
Does this website have a customer login or web player?
No. This website has no customer area, account page or web player to log in to. The username and password you receive belong in a player app on your TV or phone. Ordering, renewing and getting help all run through a single WhatsApp conversation, and the message holding your details sits in it too, so pin or star that chat rather than deleting it.
Someone offered me an IPTVSOSO login on social media. Is it from you?
Only if it reached you from +212 663 813 479, which is the number shown on every page of this site. IPTVSOSO orders are taken only here and on that number; there is no social media shop, marketplace listing or email sales line. If a deal looks unusually cheap or asks you to pay a stranger, message the number on this site first and ask. Checking costs nothing.
Players, TVs and set-top boxes
Any device that runs an IPTV player will do. These are the device-specific details worth knowing before you start.
Which player app should I use?
IPTV Smarters Pro is the easiest start. Enter your Xtream Codes details in it and everything is split into Live TV, Movies and Series, handy when you move between channels and the library. TiviMate is built around live TV and a cable-style guide; its Premium version adds recording, multi-view, multiple playlists and favorites. Both take the same details, and there is a guide to IPTVSOSO in TiviMate.
How do I put IPTVSOSO on a Firestick?
On a Fire TV stick running Fire OS, start by revealing Developer Options, which stay hidden until you open My Fire TV > About and click the device name 7 times with the select button. Next, switch on unknown apps for Downloader once it is installed, and let Downloader bring in the player of your choice. One exception: the 4K Select model of the Fire TV Stick uses Vega OS, where sideloading is not possible. The full walkthrough shows how to set up IPTVSOSO on a Firestick.
Does IPTVSOSO work on Samsung and LG smart TVs?
Yes, provided the television is new enough. On LG, the Smart IPTV app requires webOS 3.0 or above; on Samsung it appears in the store for 2022-onward televisions running Tizen 6.5 or later. For an older set, plugging a streaming stick into the TV is usually simpler and opens a wider choice of players. The Samsung TV walkthrough shows the sign-in screens.
Does it work on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV?
Yes, with a player from the App Store. On Apple hardware the free Smarters app goes by the name Smarters Player Lite; iPlayTV, built for Apple devices only, is the other common choice. Select the Xtream Codes sign-in, then copy in the three details from your WhatsApp message: server URL, username, password. Doing that on the iPhone first saves a lot of typing with the Apple TV remote.
Does IPTVSOSO work on Roku?
Not directly. Roku does not allow sideloading, which leaves you with whatever its own store offers, and IPTV players there are unreliable. The practical fix is a second device: a Fire OS stick or an Android TV box in a spare HDMI port of the same television, with a player installed on that instead. Mirroring from a phone can stand in for an evening.
How does a MAG box connect?
A MAG box signs in by its MAC address, not a username. Turn the box over, read the MAC from the sticker (on MAG hardware it begins 00:1A:79) and send it to us in the chat. We register that address and reply with a portal URL, which goes into the portal field of the box’s settings menu; after a reboot, the channel list loads. The MAG and Formuler box guide has the menus.
What are the M3U and EPG links in my login?
They are the backup route for players that cannot use an Xtream Codes sign-in. The M3U link is a long web address that points at get.php and has your username and password inside it as parameters. Loaded into a player, it brings the whole channel list in one go. The EPG link points to xmltv.php and supplies the program guide. Treat both like passwords, and see the M3U playlist guide for where they go.
Is my broadband fast enough?
Count on roughly 10 Mbps per screen showing HD and 25 Mbps per screen showing 4K, so two HD screens at once want about 20. Wi-Fi that drops in and out causes more trouble than a slow plan: if the main TV is near the router, a network cable is the cheapest upgrade there is. The SD and HD pictures of older channels ask far less of the line than a 4K match does.
Getting the most from the free trial
For 24 hours the trial behaves exactly like a paid account, no card is asked for, and the IPTVSOSO free trial page explains how to request it. These two answers make the day count.
What should I check during the trial?
Whatever you would really watch, on the screen you would really use. Look up a handful of channels by name, perhaps TCM, ITV3 and the sports channel you follow, and leave each playing for ten minutes. Then find the evening film in the guide, open an earlier slot on a channel with catch-up, and start an older film from the library to see how your TV scales it.
Do I need to install anything before asking for the trial?
It helps to have the player ready, but it is not required. Tell us your device when you ask and we will name a player that suits it: on a Fire OS stick that usually means installing Downloader first, and on a recent Samsung or LG set, a player from the store built into the TV. The IPTVSOSO setup guides walk through each device in order.
Plans, payment and refunds
The whole price list fits in one table. Every cell opens the same channels; only the term and the number of screens playing at once change. The IPTVSOSO prices page sets out each plan in full.
| Term | 1 screen | 2 screens | 3 screens | 5 screens |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 month | $15 | $25 | $35 | $49 |
| 3 months | $29 | $49 | $65 | $99 |
| 6 months | $45 | $75 | $99 | $149 |
| 12 months | $69 | $119 | $159 | $239 |
Which plan suits a household with two TVs?
Count the screens that will play at the same moment, not the screens you own. If two people regularly watch different things in the evening, take two connections: $25 for a month or $119 for a year. If only one TV is on at a time, a single connection is enough, even with the player installed on both sets and a phone as well.
Can I add connections to my plan later?
Yes. Ask in the WhatsApp chat and support can move a running account to a higher connection count without starting the term again. The cost of the change is worked out for the time left on your plan and quoted in the chat before anything is paid. Your username and password stay as they are, so nothing needs re-entering on your devices.
Is there a setup fee, a contract or a deposit?
None of the three. The price in the table is the whole price for the term, quoted in US dollars, and there is no equipment to rent or send back. Because plans never renew by themselves, there is no contract to end either: when a term runs out, you buy another one or simply stop.
How long does an IPTVSOSO refund take?
Once a refund under the 7-day guarantee is agreed, it goes back to the original payment method within 5 business days. To ask, write in the WhatsApp chat with your username and a short description of what is wrong, inside 7 days of activation. Support tries to fix the problem first, and the refund applies when it cannot. The refund policy has the full terms.
Does the money-back guarantee apply when I renew?
No, it covers your first purchase only. A renewal is a new term on an account you already know plays on your devices, so it is not refundable under the guarantee. If something does break after you renew, support on WhatsApp works on it like any other fault, at any hour of the day.
Why are the prices in US dollars?
Prices are set in one currency so the table reads the same wherever you live. Your bank or payment app converts at its own rate when you pay, which can add a small fee on its side. If you are unsure which payment method suits your country, ask in the chat before choosing a plan; the options are listed there.
When you need IPTVSOSO support
Support runs on WhatsApp, 24/7, and nowhere else. Here is how to reach it and what it can sort out.
How do I contact IPTVSOSO support?
Write to +212 663 813 479 on WhatsApp; it is answered 24/7, weekends included, and it is the only support channel, with no email or phone line behind it. The quickest replies come when the first message names the device, the player app and the exact wording of any error. A picture of the TV screen is welcome too. The contact page lists the same number.
Can support help me set up the player?
Yes, setup help is part of support. Tell us the TV, stick or box and its model, and we will name a player that runs on it, say whether that device can sideload, and go through the sign-in screen with you, one screen at a time if needed. Photos of each screen as you go make it quicker for both sides.
I lost my login details. What now?
Ask in WhatsApp for them to be sent again, writing from the phone number that placed the order so the account can be matched to you. Before that, search the original chat for the word username: the details may simply be further up. A new phone or a reinstalled player does not affect the subscription itself, only the favorites saved inside that player.
What should I do when the picture stops?
First check whether the term has ended, since an expired plan simply stops loading channels. If not, see whether the whole list is dead or just one channel. A single dead channel is a feed problem support can report; an empty or frozen list usually means the device lost its connection or the login was mistyped, and a full power-off of the TV or stick clears more than you would expect. The IPTVSOSO not working page goes further.
Can I use one login in two homes?
No, a subscription is meant for a single household. The terms treat publicly shared details, or a login used to supply other homes, as grounds for closing the account with no refund. Under one roof the rules are relaxed: the details can sit on every set and phone in the house, with the plan’s connection count deciding how many stream at once.
Can I resell IPTVSOSO?
Yes, through the reseller program. It sells credits in bulk, and each credit is spent in a panel to open or extend an account for one of your own customers. Credit packs and panel access are explained on the reseller program page. Nothing on this site forecasts income; whether reselling pays depends on your own customers and effort.
Licenses, VPNs and changes to the line-up
The parts that are easy to skip and worth reading once.
Is IPTVSOSO affiliated with the channels it carries?
No. IPTVSOSO is not affiliated with, endorsed by or partnered with any broadcaster, league or studio in the line-up, and it makes no claim to hold a license from any of them. Channel names on this site describe what the list contains and nothing more. Laws on streaming differ from one country to the next, so look up the rules in your own country before subscribing.
Do I need a VPN for IPTVSOSO?
No. Nothing about the service requires one. A VPN earns its place in one situation only: privacy on public Wi-Fi, in a hotel or a coffee shop, where it encrypts your traffic as it would for any other app. At home it mostly adds an extra step between you and the server, which can slow the stream down.
Can channels disappear from the line-up?
Yes, line-ups move. Broadcasters launch, rename and close channels, and both the live list and the on-demand library change over time, so no single channel or title can be promised for the life of a plan. That is the reason to check the ones you care about during the trial. If a favorite vanishes, ask in the chat; it may simply have been renamed or moved to another group.
Look for your old channels on your own TV
The 24-hour test login costs nothing and needs no card. Search for the channels you remember, open the guide, then decide.
