IPTV guides
These IPTV guides cover the practical side of watching: installing a player, choosing hardware, picking an app and fixing a picture that stalls. Each one is written for UK homes and for the devices people already own. Start with the installation guide if you are setting up for the first time.
Setting up
Two IPTV setup guides cover almost every first evening. The installation guide gives four steps for each device, from a Smart TV to a MAG box. The Firestick guide goes deeper on Amazon's sticks: which model to buy, how to sideload a player and the settings that stop stutter.
Four steps per device for Smart TVs, Android TV, Apple TV, phones, computers and MAG boxes.
Models, both install methods, the six settings to change and how to stop buffering.
Choosing
Hardware and software decide how IPTV feels day to day. The IPTV box guide compares sticks, Android TV boxes, Apple TV and MAG boxes, with five checks to make before buying. The IPTV player guide sets the main apps side by side and explains the three login types they ask for.
Five types of box compared, what to check before you buy and what one costs in the UK.
The main player apps by device, free against paid, and how Xtream Codes, M3U and portal logins differ.
Fixing
When the picture stalls or a login is refused, start with the five-minute check in the troubleshooting guide. It tells you whether the fault is the home network, the device, the player or the account, then gives the fix for each. If the account is at fault, the contact page reaches our support by email.
Buffering, freezing, login errors, missing channels and an empty TV guide, fixed in order.
Email us the device, the player and the channel that fails, and we reply with the fix.
