The right player matters as much as the stream

Your player app decides how the channel list, TV guide and films look and behave. Choose one that supports your login type and has a proper guide for the way you watch.

Troubleshooting

Something not working? Fix it in minutes

Most IPTV problems come from the home network, the device or a player setting — not the service. Pick what you see.

Buffering or freezing

  1. 1 Test your speed at the TV in the evening — HD needs a steady 5–10 Mbps per stream.
  2. 2 Move the TV or stick to 5 GHz Wi-Fi, or better, an Ethernet cable.
  3. 3 Set the player’s buffer size to medium or large.
All fixes for buffering or freezing

Login or connection errors

  1. 1 Check every character of the server address, including http/https and the port number.
  2. 2 Make sure the account is active and you’re within your plan’s screen limit.
  3. 3 Test the same login in VLC on a wired computer to rule out the device.
All fixes for login or connection errors

Black screen on a channel

  1. 1 Switch the player’s video decoder between hardware and software.
  2. 2 If only 4K or HEVC channels fail, use the HD version of the channel.
  3. 3 Refresh the playlist and update the player app.
All fixes for black screen on a channel

Empty TV guide

  1. 1 Check the EPG link is entered in the player’s settings.
  2. 2 Refresh the EPG and give large guides a few minutes to load.
  3. 3 If times are an hour out, adjust the EPG offset or time zone.
All fixes for empty tv guide

No sound or out of sync

  1. 1 Switch the audio track or the video decoder for that channel.
  2. 2 Turn audio passthrough off if you use a soundbar or receiver.
  3. 3 Use the player’s audio delay setting to line up lip sync.
All fixes for no sound or out of sync

FAQ

IPTV questions, answered

How IPTV works, what you need, and how our plans work — the questions people ask most before they press play.

What is IPTV?

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) delivers live TV channels and on-demand video over an internet connection instead of an aerial, satellite dish or cable. You watch it in a player app on a smart TV, streaming stick, set-top box, phone or computer.

Which IPTV player app should I use?

It depends on your device and how you log in. Android TV and Fire TV have the widest choice of players with full TV guides; Samsung and LG smart TVs have fewer options in their app stores; VLC and Kodi are free choices on many platforms. Our IPTV player comparison explains the trade-offs.

What do I need to start watching?

A compatible device (Smart TV, Firestick, Android box, phone, tablet or computer), a stable internet connection and an IPTV player app. We send setup steps for your exact device after you order.

What internet speed do I need?

Around 10 Mbps is comfortable for HD and 25 Mbps or more for 4K. A wired connection or strong Wi-Fi gives the most stable picture.

Why does IPTV buffer, and how do I fix it?

Most buffering comes from the home network: weak Wi-Fi at the TV, other devices using bandwidth, or an overloaded streaming stick. Restart the router and device, test your speed at the TV, switch to 5 GHz Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and check the player’s buffer settings. Our IPTV troubleshooting guide covers each step.

How fast is activation?

Most accounts are activated the same day. You receive your login details and a short guide, and you can start watching straight away.

Can I use my account on more than one device?

You can install it on as many devices as you like. Choose a 1-device plan to watch on one screen at a time, or a 2-device plan to watch on two screens at once.

Do plans renew automatically?

No. Your plan simply ends when its period runs out. You choose whether to renew, and there are no cancellation fees.

What if something stops working?

Contact support and we’ll help you troubleshoot — most issues come down to app settings or the connection and are fixed in a few minutes.
