Step 5: Find Your Channels

After loading, channels are grouped into categories:

• USA Sports — ESPN, NFL Network, NBA TV, MLB Network, FS1, FS2
• USA PPV — Pay-per-view events
• VOD — Movies and series on demand
• Series — TV show libraries

Tip: Use the search function to find a specific channel rather than scrolling through all categories.

Step 6: Test Before Your First Big Game

Do not wait until kickoff to test. Before any major event:

1. Open a live sports channel and watch for 5 minutes continuously
2. Check: is the image clear? Any pauses? Audio synced?
3. If buffering: switch to Ethernet or clear app cache (see our buffering fix guide)
4. Test on the device you plan to actually use during the game

Common Setup Questions

Q: My channels loaded but the stream is black — what’s wrong? Try switching the player decoder: Settings → Player → Hardware Decoding → switch between ON and OFF and reload.

Q: I received my M3U link but have no idea what app to use. For Firestick: IPTV Smarters Pro. For Android: TiviMate. For PC: VLC. All work with the same M3U link.

Q: How many devices can I use at the same time? Standard subscriptions allow 1 connection. Multi-connection plans (2–5 devices) are available — ask via WhatsApp before ordering if you need more.

Q: The EPG (TV guide) is not showing — how do I fix it? In app settings, find the EPG/guide section and enter the EPG URL provided in your welcome email. It takes up to 10 minutes to populate.
