Troubleshooting
The Windows version won't install
Confirm you downloaded the installer from the official XCIPTV website, and check Windows Defender hasn't quarantined the file.
Catch-up shows as unavailable on a channel
Catch-up availability depends on the specific channel and your plan; not every channel supports it even when your plan generally includes catch-up.
The home screen layout reset after an update
Re-customise your layout after major updates, since some updates can reset display preferences to default.
Multi-screen preview isn't working
Confirm your device meets the minimum performance requirements for multi-screen preview, since it's more demanding than standard single-stream playback.
