FAQs, Troubleshooting, and Useful Resources
A Restart of your Router and Device solves 90% of Issues!
Before proceeding to troubleshoot any issues, please perform a restart on your equipment.
Power off your router, pull the plug for 5 min and power on again. This will clear the cache from your router. Then turn your TV box or Smart TV off, pull the plug for 5 minutes and turn and back on. This will clear out all the old cache settings from your router and device and should provide a fresh connection.
This is often the solution to a lot of problems and is essential before other troubleshooting can begin.
Using our Android App:
The most common issue here is people using the default Player, The best thing to do is change External player to VLC (on a firestick or similar you will need to sideload it)
Launch the app>login>click Live TV>click the three dots in the top right corner>click settings>change the default media player from Default to VLC. Unless you are on a firestick when you launch a channel you will be prompted to get VLC from the playstore.
Another Setting if the app supports it is changing Default decoder to Hardware or HW+
The most common cause of buffering is the result of slow internet connection. This may be because of low internet speed or other users hogging the bandwidth in your house. Do you have lots of users in your home? Disconnect them all and try again
The second and more logical reason is that you are using Wi-Fi, it doesn’t matter how fast your internet is…Wi-Fi as whole is slow and unreliable. it just is…. You should avoid using it when possible
Resolution:
Directly connect to your router using an ethernet cable or to a powerline adaptor.
If not possible, try moving the box closer to the router.
Change your WI-FI channel. To avoid interference with nearby devices.
