XCIPTV Player is one of the most feature-packed IPTV players that’s completely free and runs smoothly on all Onn TV devices.
The player itself is empty, so you’ll need an IPTV subscription, M3U URL, or Xtream Codes login before there’s anything to watch.
XCIPTV itself is 100% legal, but the legality of unverified IPTV sources is questionable — so protect yourself with a premium VPN before you stream. Surfshark VPN is our top choice

Frequently Asked Questions
Is XCIPTV compatible with Onn TV Box?
Yes. Onn Google TV devices run on Google TV (built on Android TV), so XCIPTV runs smoothly once sideloaded via Downloader.
Can I get XCIPTV from the Play Store?
No. XCIPTV isn’t listed on the Google Play Store, so you’ll need to sideload it on Onn TV using the Downloader app and the code above.
Why is XCIPTV buffering or loading slowly?
This is usually linked to internet or provider issues rather than the app itself. Make sure your connection is stable and your IPTV subscription is still active.
Do I need to enable settings on Onn TV to sideload XCIPTV?
Yes, you’ll need to enable “Unknown Sources” / “Install Unknown Apps” in Settings before installing the APK manually through Downloader.
Does XCIPTV come with channels already loaded?
No. XCIPTV is only a player; it doesn’t sell or include any channels. You’ll need login details from an IPTV provider, or an M3U/Xtream Codes playlist, to start watching.
What login methods does XCIPTV support?
XCIPTV accepts M3U URLs, Xtream Codes, FastoCloud, and EZ Server playlists, so most provider formats will work without conversion.
Is XCIPTV really free, or is there a premium tier?
XCIPTV is fully free with no premium paywall, unlike some other IPTV players that lock features like recording behind a subscription.
Is XCIPTV legal to use on Onn TV?
Yes, the app itself is legal — it’s simply a media player. Legality depends entirely on the IPTV source/provider you connect to.
Conclusion
Sideloading XCIPTV onto your Onn TV Box takes less than 5 minutes using the Downloader method above, and you won’t pay a cent for the app itself.
