5 quick fixes that solve most problems
Work through these in order. Test a channel after each one.
Fix 1: Restart your device and router
Unplug both for 30 seconds, plug the router back in first, then the TV, stick or box. This clears most freezes.
Fix 2: Check your plan is active
Log in to your account and check the trial or plan hasn't expired. An expired line looks exactly like a broken one.
Fix 3: Test your internet speed
Run a speed test on the same device. You need about 10 Mbps for each HD stream and 25 Mbps for each 4K stream.
Fix 4: Update the player app
Install the latest version of your app. If it still misbehaves, clear its cache (Android: Settings → Apps) or reinstall it.
Fix 5: Re-enter your login
Copy the Server URL, Username and Password from your welcome email again. One wrong character stops everything loading.
Common problems
Find your problem, get the fix
Restart the device and your router, then test your speed: you need about 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K. Use a wired (Ethernet) connection where you can, and switch the player's decoder to hardware if the app offers it.
Copy the Username, Password and Server URL again from your activation email. Most errors come from a missing http://, a missing port number, or a capital letter typed as lowercase. If your trial or plan has expired, choose a plan on our pricing page.
Try the same channel in its HD or SD version, or wait a minute and try again: a single channel can drop while the rest work. If a whole category is down for more than 15 minutes, open a support ticket and tell us which channels.
More devices are watching at the same time than your plan has screens. Stop playback on another device (or close the app completely), wait a minute, then try again. Need more? Plans go up to 5 screens.
Refresh the guide in your app's settings (TiviMate: Settings → EPG → your source → Update). Then set the app's time zone to where you live. The guide can take a few minutes to fill after you first sign in.
Your app keeps a copy of the playlist. Refresh or reload the playlist (IPTV Smarters: use the refresh button on the home screen, or log out and back in; TiviMate: Settings → Playlists → your playlist → Update).
Clear the app's cache, restart the device and make sure the device has free storage (a Firestick that's almost full often crashes apps). If it still crashes, uninstall and reinstall the app, then sign in again.
Type the code in the box on Downloader's Home tab, not the Browser tab, with no spaces. Codes change from time to time; the current ones are on our IPTV Trends app page, or ask support.
Smart IPTV and IBO Player charge their own one-time activation after a short trial. That message comes from the app, not from IPTV Trends. Activate the app on its website, or install another player.

Service status
Is IPTV Trends down right now?
Our servers are monitored 24/7. If nothing plays on any device, even after the quick fixes, the problem may be on our side, and our team can confirm it quickly.
Test on a second device
If channels play on your phone but not on the TV, the problem is the TV or its app, not the service. Re-check the setup with our device guides.
Try another network
Switch your phone to mobile data and open a channel. If it plays there, your home network or router is blocking or slowing the stream.
