Home › XCIPTV Alternative
An XCIPTV alternative you can install normally.
XCIPTV usually means downloader codes, APK files and sideloading. RunTV installs from the store on every platform it supports, is free, and adds things XCIPTV does not do at all.
The practical differences
| XCIPTV | RunTV | |
|---|---|---|
| Installing | Usually sideloaded from an APK or downloader code | From the store, normally |
| Cost | Varies by build, some are paid or reseller-branded | Free, no ads, no subscription |
| 4 channels at once | No | Yes, 8 layouts |
| Phone as remote | No | Yes, one tap to the TV |
| Several Xtream logins in one playlist | No | Yes, inside each account's own limit |
| Platforms | Android based mostly | Apple TV, Android TV, iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows |
RunTV is a player, like VLC. It does not provide, host or resell channels. You bring the playlist or provider login you already have.
Four channels on one TV, which is the part XCIPTV has no answer for.

Frequently asked
Is there a free alternative to XCIPTV?
Yes. RunTV is free with no ads and no subscription, and it installs from the App Store or Google Play rather than by sideloading an APK.
Do I need to sideload RunTV?
No. RunTV is published on the stores for Apple TV, Android TV, iPhone, iPad and Android, with direct installers for Windows. There are no downloader codes to type in.
Does RunTV play the same playlists as XCIPTV?
Yes. M3U and M3U8 playlists and Xtream Codes logins, across HLS, DASH, MPEG-TS and MP4.
What does RunTV do that XCIPTV does not?
Four channels at once on one TV across eight layouts, your phone acting as the remote with one tap send-to-TV, and pooling several of your own Xtream logins into one playlist.
Will my playlist carry over?
There is no import step. You paste the same M3U URL or Xtream host, username and password you already use.
