IPTV apps can be installed on any smart device. The only requirement is the internet connection. Apart from Android smartphones and Firestick devices, you can install and stream IPTV videos on PlayStation gaming consoles too. With the Plex app, you can stream IPTV on both PS4 and PS3. In PlayStation, you can install additional apps from the Microsoft Store.
The limitation with the PlayStation is that there are no IPTV apps available in the Microsoft Store. To stream IPTV on PlayStation, you have to use both the Plex Media Server and Plex Media Player app. Streaming IPTV on PS4 and PS3 is a long and tedious process. Follow the steps carefully to get your IPTV provider on PS3 and PS4.
