Troubleshooting
The app isn't listed in the Play Store
Confirm you're signed into a Google account on the device, and check your Android TV's region setting, which can affect Play Store app availability.
Playback stutters during peak hours
Use a wired Ethernet connection where your box supports it, since Android TV boxes on Wi-Fi in a crowded household are the most common cause of buffering.
The remote doesn't control the IPTV app properly
Some third-party remotes need re-pairing after an app update. Try the box's original remote to confirm whether the issue is app- or remote-specific.
EPG data isn't showing
Give the app a few minutes after first login to fully download EPG data, and confirm the correct EPG source is selected in app settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most do, though boxes with at least 2GB of RAM handle multitasking and EPG loading noticeably more smoothly than very low-end models.
