Setting Up EPG on Your Smart TV

A full 7-day EPG guide loads for all 21,000+ channels within a few minutes.
Troubleshooting IPTV on Smart TV
Channels not loading: Verify your Xtream Codes credentials are entered correctly. Copy and paste from the message you received — don't retype manually. Check that your internet connection is active.
Buffering during live sports: Test your internet speed (minimum 25 Mbps for 4K). Switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet if possible. IPTV Trends' Anti-Freeze v10 Engine handles most buffering automatically, but a weak Wi-Fi signal can override it.
EPG not showing: Refresh the EPG source in your app settings. EPG can take 3–5 minutes to fully load after first launch. Make sure the correct EPG URL was entered.
