IPTV EMPIER FAQ

FAQs

WHAT ARE IPTV SERVERS?

IPTV Servers offer access to between 500 - 3,300 live streams from around the world and up to 13,000 VOD titles (Video-on-Demand). They are managed by 3rd party offshore groups that continuously add, remove, or update feeds and each IPTV server is independent from one another.

​ 

WHAT KIND OF DEVICE WILL I NEED TO RUN IPTV?

 

MAG 250, 254, 256 - easiest to use but only runs IPTV
ANDROID boxes/devices - STB Emu App mimics MAG boxes and also runs using KODI or DDTV
WINDOWS PC/Laptop - runs using KODI (no ADULT/VOD) 
MAC, MACBOOK, MAC MINI - runs using KODI (no ADULT/VOD)
IPHONE/IPAD - runs using iOS apps but not available for every server

ROKU - runs on a private channel but not available for every server (no ADULT/VOD)

AVOV boxes - works similar to MAG and also runs using KODI

DREAMLINK T1 - works similar to MAG and also runs using KODI

CAN I USE MY ACCOUNT ON MULTIPLE DEVICES?


Yes you can, but only with STB Emulator app and not on more than one device at the same time. If you run one account on 2 or more devices simultaneously, the server will automatically suspend your account. Simply subscribe to additional months for additional devices at a discounted rate if you want to use them simultaneously.

CAN I SUBSCRIBE TO MULTIPLE SERVERS?

Yes, you can. Many users have multiple servers to get more content or simply as a backup. MAG boxes, STB EMU APP, and KODI all support multiple servers. We offer a 10% discount with any 3, 6, or 12 month donation for multiple servers.

WHAT IS A MAC ADDRESS?


A MAC address is a unique identifier tied to your hardware on your MAG, Avov, or Dreamlink box. It must start with 00:1A:79:xx:xx:xx
For KODI and STB EMU APP, we will send you an active MAC address after receiving your donation. 

WILL IPTV WORK WITH KODI?


Yes, it will work with KODI. Once you subscribe, you will receive full instructions and the server URL’s needed for your KODI Stalker Client.

HOW MUCH BANDWIDTH DO I NEED?


TV Channels Recommended Minimum Download Speeds (will work on lower but your experience may vary):

SD 5Mbps

HD 10Mbps

Please note: You must have a stable internet connection without any speed degradation.

HOW MUCH BANDWIDTH DOES IPTV USE MONTHLY?


Based on the internet speed required per content as defined above the following is estimated internet consumption (BANDWIDTH) per month based on using your IPTV service 8 hours per day.


Live TV Channels:
SD = 750Kbps = 329.58 MB / Hour @ 8 Hours per Day = 81.73 GB / Month
HD = 1 Mbps = 439.43 MB / Hour @ 8 Hours per Day = 108.98 GB / Month.
Video on Demand Movies:
SD = 650Kbps = 285.63 MB / Hour @ 8 Hours per Day = 70.83 GB / Month.
HD = 1.4 Mbps = 615.21 MB / Hour @ 8 Hours per Day = 152.57 GB / Month.

IPTV is not recommended for those users who don’t have a high limit or an unlimited internet connection, or users who have a very small amount of bandwidth available monthly.

CAN I CONNECT MY DEVICE USING WIFI?


Yes, you can but for best results, we strongly recommend you use a network cable to connect your IPTV Receiver to your ROUTER/MODEM.

WHAT'S THE DEFAULT PARENTAL CONTROL PASSWORD ON MAG, AVOV BOXES OR STB EMU APP?


In the TV portal, arrow down to the Adult channel (channel viewing screen) (has lock by channel), hit OK, a small box will come on screen, enter 0000, that's zero, zero, zero, zero, and OK.

SOME OF MY CHANNELS DON'T WORK, SHOW A BLACK SCREEN OR WON'T LOAD


Please understand that we have zero control over any of the feeds on any of the servers. We are simply given access to connect your device to the server to receive service from 3rd party service providers. Keep in mind that every channel and every feed has to be streamed from multiple offshore servers worldwide to get to you. Because of this complexity, sometimes the connections are not stable due to weather, storms, or satellite outages. The service provider knows about the channel outages as soon as they happen and always works to resolve problems in a timely fashion. Please be patient and check in on the channel as it will eventually be resolved.

SOMETIMES MY CHANNELS FREEZE OR LOCK UP. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?  


The best way to explain this and the complexity of how your IPTV service is delivered, is by understanding how the service works. A channel is recorded live and the feed is immediately resent over the internet. There are always variables in streaming anything especially in IPTV service. There are several factors that could cause this. The source of the feed could have frozen. The path the feed took through the internet could have had problems. Your own internet connection might have had a momentary blip, or even your own internal connection could experience packet loss to a small degree depending on your setup. Because of all these factors, we simply cannot guarantee any channel or any feed based on how many factors are involved that are completely out of our control. We also recommend using a good VPN that improves your routing and traffic.

WHERE DO I FIND THE CHANNEL LISTS

Every server is independently managed and updates, adds, and removes feeds at their own discretion. You'll find their lists HERE.

BEFORE DONATING


By donating to me, you understand the following. All streams and IPTV servers are managed by 3rd party, service providers offshore. Unfortunately, I don't have any control over their servers or their content. I'm only given access to add or remove MAC addresses. There isn't a service anywhere that's up 100%. Out of the popular and newer servers worldwide that I constantly test, the ones I connect you to are the most consistent, stable servers available. The IPTV server continuously adds, removes, and updates content at their sole discretion, so no warranties, guarantees or refunds are offered by your IPTV Empire.
