Step-by-step installation

IPTV box

A box does not automatically improve the connection. Above all, it must be compatible, up to date and simple enough to use on a daily basis.

  1. Check the available HDMI ports and the quality of your network.
  2. Choose a device that is still receiving official updates.
  3. Connect the box via Ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi when possible.
  4. Install a compatible player from the official store.
  5. Add the profile with the received information, then let the first synchronization complete.

IPTV Box FAQ

No. A Smart TV or other compatible device may be sufficient. A box is useful when the television is slow or does not offer the desired player.
Ethernet is generally more consistent. Good 5GHz Wi-Fi can also work when the signal remains stable.
Check for updates, official store, storage, remote control and network connection.
