IPTV Setup Troubleshooting FAQ

Quick fixes for the most common setup problems.

The app says my login is invalid. What should I do?

Check for typos, extra spaces and upper or lower case, especially in the server URL. Copy and paste the details from WhatsApp if you can. Still not working? Send us a photo of the screen.

Channels load but the TV guide is empty.

The TV guide (EPG) can take a few minutes to load the first time. Restart the app. In TiviMate or Smarters you can also update the EPG manually in the settings.

The picture freezes or buffers.

Use Ethernet or the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band, restart your router and device, and pause big downloads. Clearing the app cache can also help.

Downloader won’t install the app on my Firestick.

Make sure Install unknown apps is turned on for Downloader under Settings, My Fire TV, Developer options. Also check that your Firestick has enough free storage.

Can I use my plan on a second device?

Yes, you can install the app on several devices and log in with the same details. Each plan streams on one device at a time. Extra connections are available on request.

My Smart TV app asks for payment. Is that part of my plan?

No. Some player apps charge a one-time activation fee after their free trial. That fee goes to the app developer. Your CastGrip plan covers the channels and content.
