The Nvidia Shield runs Android TV with Google Play built in, which makes it one of the best 4K IPTV streamers you can buy. Install a player straight from Play, or use Downloader for apps that are not listed there.
You will need your Shield connected to a 4K TV and to the internet, ideally over Ethernet, the Google account it is signed in to, and your CosyTelly login. Any Shield TV or Shield TV Pro model works.
Open the Play Store on your Shield, search for a player such as IPTV Smarters Pro and install it. If the app you want is on Play, that is all you need, so skip to logging in below.
In the Play Store, search for Downloader and install the free app.
Go to Settings, then Device Preferences, then Security & restrictions. Open Unknown sources and switch Downloader on.
Open Downloader and type the Downloader code shown on the app you want below. Let it download, then choose Install.
IBO Player Pro and Hot Player lock to your device. Open the app to see its MAC address, then follow the activation steps inside its card below.
App fee: about €8 (roughly £7) for life, with a 7-day free trial, paid to the app maker and separate from your CosyTelly subscription.
App fee: €5.99 a year or €14.99 for life, with a 30-day free trial, paid to the app maker and separate from your CosyTelly subscription.
Your login is in the WhatsApp message we send when your order or trial is confirmed. Find your app below and follow its steps.

Go to Settings → Device Preferences → Security & restrictions → Unknown sources and check Downloader is switched on.
Check the Shield's display settings are set to 4K and your TV's HDMI input supports it, then play a 4K channel on a connection of at least 25 Mbps.
Some players are designed for touchscreens. IPTV Smarters Pro and XtremeHD Player are easy to use with the Shield remote.
The server URL must start with http://, not https://, and usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.

It is one of the best. It handles 4K comfortably, has Ethernet built in, and runs every Android player, from Google Play or by sideloading with Downloader.
Only for apps that are not on Google Play. IPTV Smarters Pro and IBO Player Pro install straight from the Play Store; XtremeHD Player and Hot Player use Downloader codes.
Yes. Install a player on both and log in with the same details. A 1-connection plan plays on one screen at a time, so choose 2 connections if both are often watching together.
