I recently picked up a couple of Apple TV gen 3.1, and discovered you can't do a whole lot with them aside from cast from your phone these days. I can't solder for shit, so jailbreaks are out of the question for me, sadly. In the process of researching all this, however, I found a GitHub that will help you hijack the Redbull TV app that comes pre-installed to run IPTV through it. Anyone know of anything good I can look into further? I'm on disability and life is expensive 😭

Assuming you have an iPhone, unless your main reason for using IPTV is live sports, I'd suggest Stremio with a Debrid service instead, as Debrid services typically have more VOD content available. Several Debrid services are available, but Real-Debrid (~25.54 CAD per 180 days) seems to have the largest library of cached content.

Since Stremio itself isn't available on the Apple App Store anymore, Omni is a suitable alternative (one-time ~13.82 CAD cost). You would then install it on both your iPhone and Apple TV (configuring it on your phone, with the settings syncing to the Apple TV) and install the Streaming Catalogs add-on (for recommendations based on other streaming services) and Torrentio to fetch content from the Debrid service.

As Torrentio and free add-ons similar to it at times becomes unresponsive under high load, Debridio is a paid (~13.82 CAD per year) alternative if reliability is essential. Personally I prefer Torrentio's results, but keep Debridio as a backup.
