Setup Guide

How to Setup IPTV Streams on Any Device

Step-by-step guides for every supported device. Most setups take under 5 minutes.

Getting IPTV Streams running on your device is simpler than you might expect. You do not need any technical skills — just follow the numbered steps for your device below. If you run into trouble, our troubleshooting guide covers every common issue, and our support team is always available at help@catchontv1.email.

Before starting, make sure you have your IPTV Streams credentials handy (sent in your welcome email after you start your free trial or subscribe). You will need your M3U URL or Xtream Codes login. Also verify your internet speed meets the minimum: 15 Mbps for HD channels and 25 Mbps for 4K content. A wired Ethernet connection will always give you a more stable stream than Wi-Fi, so use one where available.
