About the service
What is IPTV?
Television delivered over your internet connection instead of an aerial, dish or cable line. The full explanation is here.
What does a subscription include?
18,000+ live channels, 60,000+ films and series, a programme guide, catch-up where the broadcaster provides it, and 1 connection. Every plan includes all of it — what you are buying.
Is there a contract?
No. You pay for a term and it ends when the term ends. Nothing renews silently.
Can I watch from another country?
Yes — the subscription follows your login, not your address. A few channels are geo-restricted at source; ask support about specific ones.
Pricing and billing
How much does it cost?
From $12.99 for one month down to $6.67 a month on the annual plan. All plans.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 24 hours, no card details, and it does not convert into a paid plan. Request one.
Do you offer refunds?
Within 7 days, where the service cannot be made to work on your connection. The conditions are here.
Are sports or 4K channels extra?
No. One line-up, one price, no add-on packs.
Which plan should I buy?
The trial, then one month, then a longer term once it has survived a peak weekend. That advice earns us less up front and is still the right order.
Devices and set-up
Which devices work?
Fire Stick, Roku, smart TVs, Android boxes and phones, iPhone, iPad, Windows and Mac. Guides for each.
Do I need a special box?
No. Anything that runs apps will do. We do not sell hardware.
How long does set-up take?
Five to ten minutes on most devices. Roku takes longer because it does not allow sideloading — why.
How many devices can I use?
Install the player on as many as you like. 1 connection means one stream at a time; ask for an extra connection if you need two screens at once.
Which player app should I use?
IPTV Smarters to start, TiviMate on Android TV or Fire OS if you watch daily. Compared here.
When something goes wrong
It says “failed to authorize”.
The server rejected your credentials. Six causes, in order of likelihood — the checklist is here.
It keeps buffering.
Test with an ethernet cable first. If that fixes it, the cause is wifi. The other three causes.
The programme guide is empty.
Usually a missing EPG URL. How to add it.
One channel is not working.
That channel's source is down. Report the name — nothing on your device needs changing.
Nothing works at all.
Run the four tests in the help centre. They identify the failing layer in about five minutes.
Legality and safety
Is IPTV legal?
The technology is, everywhere. Whether a given service is depends on its licensing. Our full position, including where we stand.
Do I need a VPN?
Not for the service to work. It adds privacy and can bypass ISP domain blocking, but it costs some speed and changes nothing about licensing.
Is free IPTV safe?
Public playlists of openly broadcast channels are fine. Sideloaded apps from forums are the risky category — a documented route for adware and credential theft. More on APKs.
Can I share my login with family?
Within your household, yes. Sharing the M3U link outside it consumes your connection limit and gets lines suspended — why the link is sensitive.
Can I use this in my bar or hotel?
Not on a residential plan. Public screening needs a commercial agreement.
