Drogon TV App: Download, Setup and Player Options

The Drogon TV app in one minute

The Drogon TV app is the service's own player: the program you open on your TV or streaming stick to browse the channels, read the TV guide and start what you want to watch. It is not the only way in. Drogon TV also works with standard IPTV players such as TiviMate and IPTV Smarters Pro, and on some devices the team will point you to one of those instead.

This guide covers where the app comes from, how it compares with a standard player, what it gives you once you're signed in, and how to watch on a phone or tablet. The step-by-step install for the Fire TV Stick lives on the setup page; here we focus on choosing and understanding the app.

What is an IPTV app, and what is an IPTV player?

The two terms mean the same thing: an application that plays IPTV streams. An IPTV player does three jobs:

  1. Signs you in to your provider with the details you were given.
  2. Loads the channel list, the on-demand library and the guide from that provider.
  3. Plays the stream you pick, live or on demand.

What a player does not do is supply any content. No player app provides channels on its own: everything you watch comes from your subscription. That is why the same subscription can work in more than one app, and why switching players doesn't change what you're paying for. If the idea of IPTV itself is new to you, start with what IPTV is and how it works.

Drogon TV app download: where the app comes from

You won't find a download button for the app on this site, and that's on purpose. The way to get it depends on your device, and the details come with your subscription.

On an Amazon Fire TV Stick

On a Fire TV Stick, you install the Drogon TV app with Downloader, a third-party app available from the Fire TV search. Downloader fetches the app using the code or link in your welcome email, the same email that contains your portal URL, username and password. In short:

  • turn on Apps from Unknown Sources in the Fire TV's Developer Options;
  • install Downloader and open it;
  • enter the code or link from your welcome email;
  • install the app when Downloader offers it, open it and sign in.

The full walk-through, including what to do if Developer Options is hidden, is in the Fire TV Stick setup guide. The code is sent to each customer by email rather than published, so if you can't find it, check your spam folder and then ask the team on WhatsApp.

On every other device

The service also works on Android TV and Android boxes, Apple TV, iPhone and iPad, Samsung and LG Smart TVs, MAG boxes, and Windows and Mac computers. The right app depends on the device, so the team tells you which one to install and where to get it: the Drogon TV app or a standard player such as TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro. Message them on WhatsApp with your device and, for a TV or box, its model.

A word on safety

Install apps only from your device's official app store, the app developer's official website, or the code or link in your welcome email. Never from an unknown site. Allowing apps from unknown sources is needed for one app only, and you can switch it off again once the app is installed.

The Drogon TV app vs TiviMate and IPTV Smarters Pro

Is there an app for IPTV that beats the rest? There is no single answer, because players differ mostly in layout and extras, while the content stays the same. Here is how the choice looks with this service:

A few practical points:

  • One login, several apps. Your login is not tied to one device: you sign in on whichever device you're using. Your plan sets how many devices can watch at the same time, 1, 2 or 3.
  • You can switch. If you already use TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro with something else, ask the team whether it suits your device for this service before installing anything new.
  • The app doesn't change the picture. HD and 4K depend on the stream and your connection; the service recommends at least 15 Mbps for HD and 30 Mbps or higher for 4K.

What you get inside the app: 7-day guide and catch-up

Once you're signed in, the features that make IPTV more than a list of channels show up.

The 7-day EPG. The electronic program guide shows what's on across the channels for the next seven days, so you can plan an evening or find a game without flicking through channels one by one.

7-day catch-up on major channels. On those channels, the last seven days are kept, so you can go back in the guide and play something you missed.

The full catalogue. More than 20,000 live channels from the US, the UK, Canada and worldwide, local channels grouped by state and province, all PPV events, and more than 120,000 movies and series on demand. Sports fans can read how to follow live sports and PPV.

Parental controls are included on every plan too, which helps when the same login is used in a family room.

Can I get IPTV on my phone?

Yes. iPhone and iPad are on the published list of devices Drogon TV works on, alongside Apple TV, Android TV and Android boxes and the other devices above. For an Android phone or tablet, or to know which app to install on an iPhone, ask the team on WhatsApp: they name the app for your device.

Watching on a phone follows the same rules as anywhere else:

  • It counts as a device. A phone streaming at the same time as your TV uses one of your plan's devices.
  • You can watch away from home. The service works anywhere in the world with a stable internet connection, but the login is for your household only.
  • Mind your data. Video uses far more data than browsing, and 4K uses more than HD. On a mobile plan with a data cap, Wi-Fi is the safer choice.

Signing in on a second screen uses the same details as the first; the login guide covers what to do if they don't work.

Which app fits your device? Ask the Drogon TV team

The quickest route to the right app is a single WhatsApp message. Support is available 24/7. Send:

  1. the device you want to watch on (for example "Samsung Smart TV" or "Android box");
  2. its model, if it's a TV or a box;
  3. whether you already have a player installed.

The team tells you which app to use, where to get it, and how to sign in with your welcome email details. Setup takes less than 5 minutes. If you're still comparing services rather than apps, the checklist in how to choose an IPTV provider is a better next read.
