Answers to your SMART4K IPTV Frequently Asked Questions.

In this section you will find the answers to the most commonly asked pre-sales questions.

IPTV stands for “Internet Protocol Television”. Basically, it means watching TV through the Internet. You do not require cable TV; It’s the same as watching a movie by streaming on Netflix.

Our servers can be accessed through all Smart TV sets (Samsung, Sony, LG…), all Android devices (STB, phones), Apple TV, iPhone, MAG box or STB Emulator app, Enigma2 (M3U/Xtream ONLY) and Fire Sticks

Because our streams use H264, the base stream is less than 10Mbps for HD, around 20Mbps for 4K, and 35Mbps for 8K, but the speed that the buffer can recharge is the key to stability 35Mbps is a recommended minimum.

Some of the older movies in the 4K library can require 60Mbps+ to stream stably if you experience buffering, try the FHD version, the quality is extremely good.

Whilst you are not required to use a VPN to access our services, more and more Countries/Governments/IPSs are now actively blocking IPTV providers and streams; it is advisable to circumvent their blocking and protect your privacy.

VPN Good Practices.

A VPN, when used incorrectly, will cause more problems with your streaming than it will solve. The object of a VPN is to overcome blocking and to protect your privacy. The following two rules are good VPN practices.
Foot Background
  1. Use a good VPN provider; Free & very cheap VPNs tend to bog down at peak times.
  2. Always select a VPN provider with a Zero Logging policy; if they do not advertise this, STAY AWAY.
  3. Keek your latency down. Too many people install a VPN and use whatever the default endpoint is, DON’T! You want to mask your location, the VPN itself does this, so connect a couple of states over; the further away you select your endpoint, the more latency you add, and the more likely you will experience VPN-induced buffering.
Remember, just by connecting a VPN, your location is hidden, and even connecting to your home town will often outsmart local ISP blocking because you will have crossed their boundary routers with the VPN.

You can install M3U codes on as many devices as you like, BUT no two devices should connect simultaneously, or your username will be blocked.

We only accept patments with PayPal, Credit Cards … 

Yes. Because Android devices can access a vast library of apps from Google Play Store, you can turn pretty much anything from a TV to a PC monitor into a Smart TV; all you need is access to the internet and a spare HDMI port.

Absolutely not. Whilst an STB will give great results, you can achieve excellent results using software or a SmartTV.

Because IPTV is streamed over the internet, many things can cause interruptions or buffering in your stream; 4K IPTV is no different to Netflix or YouTube.
Slow or unstable internet speeds cause most buffering problems, but you are always welcome to put a ticket in and ask us to check a particular channel’s stability.
A good rule of thumb is that if all channels are buffering/stuttering, chances are it is an issue with your internet speed or the current load on your connection.

Where possible, it is always better to use a hardwired connection for stability, but some devices do not support ethernet, so ensure their wi-fi signal is as strong as possible.
