Watch Ktime on Your TV — Free, on Any Device (Full Setup Guide)

Just want the quick setup? → ktime.app/how-to-watch

Easiest way (about 2 minutes): On Android TV, Google TV, Nvidia Shield or Fire TV, install the native Ktime app from ktime.app/k and sign in — that is the best experience. On a Samsung or LG TV (and Hisense VIDAA), install the free Media Station X app and type your personal address {code}.ktime.app once; it opens your branded Ktime portal every launch, with no login to retype. On a computer, iPhone or iPad, just open ktime.app/app. On Roku or Apple TV, cast or AirPlay from your phone.

Ktime now plays on basically any screen you own — the living-room TV, a phone, a tablet, a streaming stick — and not just the web app. It is included in your subscription at no extra cost: the TV counts as one of the devices on your account. The setup depends on the screen: the native Ktime app on Android and Fire TV, the free Media Station X app on Samsung and LG, the browser on a computer or iPhone, and casting on Roku and Apple TV.

This is the master guide. It covers the right method for each device and the one-time setup for Samsung and LG. You already have everything you need to sign in: your Ktime username and password.

How do I watch Ktime on my TV?

To watch Ktime on a TV, pick the method that matches your TV — there is no generic IPTV app to configure any more:

• Android TV, Google TV, Chromecast with Google TV, Nvidia Shield, Sony or Fire TV — install the native Ktime app from ktime.app/k and sign in with your Ktime username and password. This is the preferred, best-looking experience.
• Samsung (Tizen), LG (webOS) or Hisense VIDAA — install the free Media Station X app from your TV’s app store, then enter your personal address {code}.ktime.app once. It loads your branded Ktime portal every launch — no login to retype, no playlist file to manage.
• Roku or Apple TV — cast from your phone or AirPlay.

That is the whole setup. Live Persian channels, movies and series all load on their own once you are in. The full step-by-step for every device is at ktime.app/how-to-watch.

Which free app do I need for my device?

Each device has one method, and several need no app at all. Use this table to find yours, then follow its section below.

Every path opens the same Persian library — the same live channels, the same movies, the same series. For the device-specific walkthroughs, see our guides for Samsung smart TVs, Fire TV and Firestick, and Android TV and Google TV. LG, Hisense, Roku and Apple TV are covered in the Other TVs section below.

On Samsung, LG and Hisense, Media Station X is the app to use — it is free, in the TV’s own app store, and it loads your Ktime portal from your personal {code}.ktime.app address. There is no playlist file to manage, no paid player to buy, and no need to plug a streaming stick into the TV just to make it work. Everywhere else, the native Ktime app or the browser is all you need.

How do I watch Ktime on a Samsung or LG smart TV?

On a Samsung (Tizen), LG (webOS) or Hisense VIDAA smart TV, you use the free Media Station X app — no login to type on the remote, and no playlist file to build. Here is the whole setup:

1. Open your TV’s app store, search Media Station X, and install it (it is free).
2. Launch it and, when it asks for a start address, enter your personal Ktime address once: {code}.ktime.app. Your own {code} is shown when you sign in at ktime.app/how-to-watch.
3. That is it. Media Station X remembers the address, so every time you open it your branded Ktime portal — live Persian channels, movies and series — is right there, with nothing to retype.

Because you type the address just once and the portal handles the rest, this is the easiest Samsung/LG setup we have ever shipped — no paid player and no extra hardware. Our Samsung guide walks through it screen by screen; the Other TVs section below covers the LG-specific steps.

Other TVs: LG, Hisense, Roku and Apple TV

The four brands people ask about most, and the exact method for each:

• LG (webOS) — install the free Media Station X app from the LG Content Store, open its Setup screen, and enter your personal address {code}.ktime.app once. It loads your branded Ktime portal every launch, with no login to retype — the same method as Samsung.
• Hisense — it depends on the model. A Hisense Google TV installs the native Ktime app: open the free Downloader app from the Google Play Store, enter ktime.app/k, approve the install, and sign in once. A Hisense VIDAA TV uses Media Station X with your {code}.ktime.app address, exactly like LG and Samsung.
• Roku — Roku has no native Ktime app and no browser, so the simplest path is to cast from your phone: play a title in the Ktime phone app and send it to the Roku. A cheap Fire TV Stick in the TV’s HDMI port is the upgrade if you want the full app on the big screen.
• Apple TV — AirPlay from your iPhone, iPad or Mac: open ktime.app/app or the phone app, start playing, and AirPlay it to the Apple TV. There is no separate app to install.

All four land on the same Persian library — the same live channels, movies and series — and none of them need a VPN or an Iranian card.

How do I watch on a phone, tablet or computer?

On a computer, open ktime.app/app in any browser and sign in — there is nothing to install, and it is the lowest-friction option for a laptop or desktop. On an Android phone or tablet, install the native Ktime app from ktime.app/k and sign in. On an iPhone or iPad, the simplest path is the browser — open ktime.app/app in Safari. The method for every screen you own — TV, phone, tablet or computer — is on this page, so there is nothing else to open.

What if I don’t want to set anything up?

If you would rather not install or configure anything, buy the pre-configured Ktime دستگاه. It is sold at Iranian shops in the Greater Toronto Area, comes with everything already set up, and needs nothing but an HDMI port and a one-time sign-in. For parents and grandparents who just want Persian films and channels on the big TV without help, this is the path we recommend — our full walkthrough for setting up Persian TV for parents covers it.

Do I need a VPN or an Iranian card for any of this?

No — none of these paths need a VPN or an Iranian bank card. Ktime has no geo-block, so there is no VPN to toggle, and the subscription takes any foreign card. That is the structural difference from Filimo and Namava, which license their catalogs for inside Iran and require an Iranian IP and a Shetab card — the reason they fail abroad. If you are still weighing your options, our guide to watching Persian TV outside Iran lays out why a service built for the diaspora is the only one that works without workarounds.

What will I find once it’s set up?

Once the app is signed in, you land on the full Ktime library on the big screen: hundreds of live Persian channels — IRIB, Manoto, GEM, news and sports — alongside the latest Iranian films and series of 2025 and the best of 2024. It is the same recency-first catalog you get in the browser, now sized for a ten-foot view and a remote.

Watching on Ktime

Pick the device in front of you and follow its row in the table above. On Android and Fire TV you sign in to the native app; on Samsung and LG you type your {code}.ktime.app address into Media Station X once; on a computer or iPhone you just open ktime.app/app — there is nothing extra to set up. New to Ktime? Create an account, then sign that same account into the TV — one subscription, every screen in the house, no VPN and no Iranian card.
