  • Help to install a player app and finish setup.

M3U vs Xtream Codes — which one is better? +
  • Xtream: easier login, often faster loading, better VOD/EPG inside many apps.
  • M3U: universal format, works almost everywhere, simple to share to many players.
If your app supports Xtream, use it. Otherwise M3U is perfect.
Which IPTV player app should I use? (IBO / Smarters / TiviMate) +
Best choices by device:
  • Android TV / Google TV: TiviMate (excellent TV experience).
  • Android phone/tablet: IPTV Smarters Pro (simple + multi profiles).
  • Smart TV apps: IBO Player or Smart IPTV (depends on TV model/app availability).
  • PC: VLC or IPTV apps that support M3U/Xtream.
What devices are supported? (TV • phone • tablet • box • Firestick) +
IPTV works on most devices:
  • Smart TVs: Android TV, some Samsung/LG with compatible apps.
  • Phones: Android & iPhone (iOS) via IPTV player apps.
  • Tablets: Android tablets & iPad.
  • Streaming devices: Amazon Firestick/Fire TV, Android Box.
  • Other: MAG (if supported), PC (VLC or apps).
How much internet speed do I need for HD / FHD / 4K? +
Recommended per stream:
  • HD: 8–12 Mbps
  • FHD: 12–20 Mbps
  • 4K: 25+ Mbps
For best results: Ethernet or strong 5GHz Wi-Fi, and avoid heavy downloads while watching.
My channels freeze/buffer — what should I do first? +
Try this order:
  • Restart your router + device.
  • Switch Wi-Fi to 5GHz or use Ethernet.
  • Lower quality (4K → FHD) for that channel.
  • Change player app (TiviMate / Smarters / IBO) and clear cache.
  • Test another channel or backup stream if available.
What is EPG? Why is it sometimes missing? +
EPG is the TV guide (program schedule). If it’s missing:
  • EPG link not added, or wrong URL.
  • App needs time to download EPG (first load can take minutes).
  • Some channels may not have guide data in your region.
What is VOD (Movies/Series) and how is it updated? +
VOD = Video On Demand (movies & series library). Updates depend on provider schedules. In most apps, VOD is inside categories (Action, Drama, Kids, etc.) and searchable by title.
Can I use one subscription on multiple devices? +
Depends on the plan. Many subscriptions allow one connection at a time. If you want to watch on multiple devices simultaneously, you usually need multi-connection support.
Do I need a VPN? +
VPN is optional. It can help if your ISP throttles streaming or to improve routing. Choose a fast VPN and connect to a nearby region for best speed.
Why does one channel work and another one doesn’t? +
Channels come from different sources. Sometimes a specific source has issues. Try:
  • Refreshing the app / changing stream quality.
  • Trying an alternative channel/source if available.
  • Asking support to check that channel.
Best settings inside the app for smoother streaming +
Recommended:
  • Use Hardware decoding (if available) for better performance.
  • Set a small buffer (not too high).
  • Use HLS or MPEG-TS stream type depending on what plays best on your device.
  • Keep the app updated and clear cache occasionally.
What makes a provider “high quality”? +
A professional provider focuses on:
  • Stable servers and fast channel start time.
  • Updated VOD/EPG with organized categories.
  • Support that answers quickly and helps with setup.
  • Compatibility across TV/Phone/Tablet/Box/Firestick.
  • Clear rules and transparent plans/prices.
Is IPTV safe? (basic tips) +
Use official player apps when possible, avoid unknown APKs, keep your device updated, and never share your account details publicly. If you use a VPN, choose a reputable one.
Quick setup steps (in 60 seconds) +
  • Install an IPTV player (Smarters / IBO / TiviMate).
  • Login with Xtream (server + user + pass) or paste M3U.
  • Add EPG link (optional but recommended).
  • Restart the app and wait for categories to load.
