1. Check Your Internet Connection
A strong internet connection is essential for smooth IPTV streaming. Use Fast.com to test your speed:
SD Streaming: Minimum 5 Mbps
HD Streaming: Minimum 15 Mbps
4K Streaming: Minimum 25 Mbps
Restart your router or switch to a wired Ethernet connection for better results.
2. Verify Your IPTV Login Credentials
Double-check the following details:
Server URL: Make sure it starts with http:// and has no typos.
Username & Password: These are case-sensitive.
Subscription: Ensure your account is active and you’re using updated credentials.
3. Disable or Adjust Your VPN
VPNs can cause authorization issues. Try the following:
Disable VPN and test the login again.
If needed, use a VPN server in the same country where your IPTV was registered.
Ask your provider for VPN-friendly recommendations.

Get the latest server URL from your provider and update the app settings:
Edit and update your Server URL.

Some ISPs block IPTV services. Here’s how to bypass this:
Use Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4
Or use Cloudflare DNS: 1.1.1.1
Contact your provider for a backup server or try using a VPN.
Make sure the app is downloaded from a trusted source
7. Check Device Compatibility
Ensure your device is supported:
Update device firmware
Try another device like Android TV, Firestick, or smartphone
Try an alternative app like TiviMate or XCIPTV
