    Quick Troubleshooting Tips

    ❌ Channels won't load

    ✅ Double-check your username, password, and server URL. Make sure there are no extra spaces.

    ❌ Buffering or freezing

    ✅ Ensure your internet speed is at least 10 Mbps. Use Ethernet instead of WiFi for best results. Try switching to a different channel feed.

    ❌ App won't install on Fire Stick

    ✅ Make sure 'Apps from Unknown Sources' is enabled in Developer Options. Clear the Downloader app cache and try again.

    ❌ No sound on some channels

    ✅ Check your audio output settings. Some channels use AAC audio — make sure your device supports it.

    ❌ EPG (TV Guide) not showing

    ✅ Go to app settings and refresh the EPG data. This usually takes 1-2 minutes to fully load.
