FAQ
Answers before you ask
Everything customers ask us most often, grouped so you can find the relevant part quickly. If your question is not here, open a ticket from the client area.
Getting started
What is 8K IPTV and how does it work?
It is a subscription that gives your device a login to a streaming server holding live channels, films and series. You add the login to a player app once, and the full channel list and guide load automatically. Nothing is installed on your router and no satellite dish is needed.
How quickly is my subscription activated?
Orders are processed automatically and your credentials are emailed within a few minutes. If a manual check is needed, support responds within an hour, 24 hours a day.
Do you offer a free trial?
Yes. The trial gives you the complete channel list at full quality for a short period, so you can check the picture on your own TV and connection before paying. No card is required.
Which devices are supported?
Smart TV (Samsung, LG, Android TV), Amazon Fire TV Stick, iPhone and iPad, Android phones, tablets and TV boxes, Windows and macOS computers, MAG boxes and Enigma2 receivers.
Do I need to buy new hardware?
Usually not. If you own a smart TV from 2016 or later, it can run a player directly. A Fire TV Stick at around $30 is the cheapest way to upgrade a television that is too old to support one.
Plans and billing
How much does a subscription cost?
Plans start at $15.99. Price depends only on the length of the subscription and the number of devices that can stream at the same time — the full channel list is identical on every plan.
How many connections do I need?
Count televisions that are watched at the same time, not the number of devices you own. If two people watch different channels in the evening, choose a two-device plan.
Is there a contract or a cancellation fee?
There is no contract. Plans are prepaid for a fixed period and simply stop renewing when that period ends. No cancellation request and no exit fee.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Card and major online payment methods through the client area checkout, with availability varying slightly by country.
Can I upgrade my plan later?
Yes, at any time from the client area. The unused value of your current plan is applied to the new one.
Streaming and quality
What internet speed do I need?
10 Mbps is enough for HD, 25 Mbps for FHD and 4K, and around 50 Mbps for 8K. Stability matters more than the peak figure — a connection that swings wildly will buffer even when the average looks adequate.
Why am I seeing buffering?
In order: test the speed on the buffering device rather than at the router, restart the device properly by removing the power, move to 5 GHz Wi-Fi or a cable, disable Wi-Fi power saving, and set DNS to 1.1.1.1. Our troubleshooting guide covers all nine fixes.
Are the 4K and 8K channels real?
Yes, where the broadcaster provides a UHD feed. The number of UHD channels is smaller than the HD list, and the player information overlay shows the resolution actually being received.
Does the guide show what is on now?
The EPG covers seven days of schedule on supported channels. It is delivered in UTC, so set the correct time zone in the player for the times to line up.
Is catch-up TV included?
Catch-up is available on channels whose source supports it, so the exact list varies. It works most reliably through the Xtream Codes login rather than an M3U link.
Accounts and security
Can I share my subscription with family?
People in your household can use it up to the number of connections on your plan. What is not allowed is sharing the login outside the household or reselling it, which is detected and results in suspension.
What happens if I exceed my connection limit?
The newest stream takes over and the older one stops. Persistent overuse beyond the plan limit can suspend the account, so check your plan before adding devices.
Can I change devices?
Yes. Players that use activation keys are per device, so contact support to release the old key before registering a new one.
Do you log what I watch?
We record which connection is active and from which IP address, because that is how connection limits and abuse are enforced. We do not build viewing profiles or sell data. The privacy policy sets out the detail.
How do I cancel?
Simply do not renew. Your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for and then stops. If you want it closed sooner, open a ticket.
