What You Need Before Installation

• A stable internet connection (recommended: 15 Mbps+ for Full HD, 25 Mbps+ for 4K)
• An IPTV player app installed on your device
• Your IPTV credentials from your account email
• 5 to 10 minutes for initial setup

If your internet speed is unstable, channels may buffer even with a good service. Test internet first, then continue with device setup.
