Troubleshooting — IPTV Troubleshooting Checklist

This is the complete troubleshooting checklist — a single place to start whenever something isn't working, before diving into a more specific guide.

Step 1: Identify the exact symptom

  • Nothing loads at all → see IPTV not loading
  • Playback pauses repeatedly → see IPTV buffering
  • Picture freezes on one frame → see IPTV freezing during playback
  • Sound but no picture → see audio but no picture
  • Picture but no sound → see picture but no sound
  • The app itself is broken or crashing → see app not working

Step 2: General checks that apply to almost everything

  1. Confirm other devices on your network have internet access
  2. Restart your setup in the correct order
  3. Confirm your access details are entered correctly
  4. Check for pending app and device updates
  5. Try a wired connection if you're currently on Wi-Fi

Step 3: When to contact support
