Tips to get the most from IPTV Extreme

Update the TV guide. If the guide is empty after the first load, update the EPG from the app settings and give it a few minutes.
Use favourites. Add the channels you watch most to your favourites so you do not have to scroll through every group.
Record a programme. In the Pro version, open the TV guide, choose a programme and set a recording or a reminder.
Back up your settings. Use the backup option before you reset or change device, so you can restore everything in one step.

IPTV Extreme not working? Quick fixes

“Unable to load playlist”. Copy the M3U link again from your email. A missing character stops it loading.
Channels buffer or freeze. Restart your router and device, use a cable on Android TV boxes if possible, and pause other downloads.
The app is slow with a large playlist. Hide channel groups you never watch, so the app loads faster.
