What is IPTV?

IPTV means internet protocol television: live channels and on-demand titles delivered as data through your broadband instead of a dish, an aerial or a cable box. A player app on your television, stick, box, phone or laptop turns that data into a channel list with a programme guide. Our plans add a large film and series library, and the Gold 4K and Platinum tiers add a replay window for shows you missed. For the technical background, the Wikipedia article on IPTV covers multicast, unicast and how operators use it.

The rest of this page deals with practical IPTV questions: money, hardware, viewing and support. The plans and prices page has the full tier comparison if you would rather start there.

Buying and paying

Ask a question
How much does a plan cost?

Price is usually the first of the IPTV questions people send us. Silver: AED 149 for twelve months of Full HD on a single screen. Gold 4K: AED 269 for twelve months, with Ultra-HD and three days of replay. Platinum Lifetime: AED 1,149 once, for as many as four screens and a week of replay. The extra-screen and lifetime options fall between those figures.

Why are there no shorter plans?

Access is sold by the year or for life, nothing shorter. One payment and one start date mean fewer renewals to remember.

How can I pay?

Apple Pay and Google Pay, any credit or debit card, or a bank transfer, which knocks 10 % off the price.

What will appear on my bank statement?

A neutral merchant label. Nothing on it mentions television or channels.

Does a yearly plan renew automatically?

No, and of all the IPTV questions about money, this one has the simplest answer: we never take a second payment on our own. A few days before the twelve months end we send you a WhatsApp reminder, then access stops unless you decide to order another year.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Our refund policy runs for 60 days: within 60 days of your purchase, send a refund request on WhatsApp or to our email address and quote the order it concerns.

Does a lifetime plan really last for life?

You pay once and keep access while IPTV UAE runs the service; there is nothing further to pay. The screens and replay days of the option you chose do not change.

Can I move up a tier during the year?

You can. Tell us your current tier and the one you want, and we confirm the cost of the change in the chat before anything is paid.

Is there a way to try it first?

There is no trial. What we can do is answer your IPTV questions in detail on WhatsApp before you pay: your device, your connection and the kind of channels you watch, so you know exactly what you are buying.

7 questions

Devices and getting set up

Still unsure? Our team replies on WhatsApp 7 days a week.

Ask a question
Will it work on the TV I already have?

Very likely; of all the device IPTV questions we get, this one is usually a yes. Samsung, LG and Android or Google TV sets run player apps directly. Older televisions only need a Fire TV stick, an Android box or Apple TV in the HDMI port. Phones, tablets and Windows or Mac computers work too.

Does someone need to come and install anything?

No visit is needed. Nothing goes on the roof or the balcony; the service is an app plus a login, so you can set it up yourself in a few minutes, with us on WhatsApp if you get stuck.

Which app should a beginner install?

Start with IPTV Smarters Pro; its menus are the clearest for a first-timer. People who want a grid-style guide move on to TiviMate, and XCIPTV copes well with modest hardware. Our Smarters Pro setup guide goes through each screen.

What is IPTV Smarters, and is it the service itself?

No. IPTV Smarters Pro is a player app from an independent developer. It shows the channels your plan provides once you sign in with our details; we do not make or sell the app, and other players such as TiviMate or XCIPTV take the same login.

How does the login arrive, and how fast?

It is emailed to you, normally 5 to 30 minutes after the payment clears. Inside are the Xtream codes the player asks for, and a single playlist link for apps that want one.

The email has not come. What should I do?

Check junk and spam first, since a first email from a new sender often lands there. Still missing? Message us on WhatsApp and we send it again, to another address if that is easier.

My building supplied a MAG box. Can I use it?

Yes. MAG devices sign in with a portal address rather than an app login, so mention MAG when you order and we send the right format.

Watching day to day

Ask a question
What kinds of channels are included?

Arabic and Gulf channels, South Asian channels in Hindi, Urdu, Malayalam, Tamil, Bengali and other languages, Filipino, British, European and American channels, plus sport, kids, news, music and documentaries. Line-ups change over time, as with any TV provider.

Will I find a particular competition or match?

The sport section is grouped by sport, with football, cricket, F1, tennis and combat sports among them, and the guide lists upcoming events with start times. We cannot promise any specific fixture, because listings depend on what is broadcast.

What is catch-up, and which plans have it?

Catch-up, or replay, lets you start a programme that has already aired as if it were on demand. Gold 4K keeps three days, Platinum keeps seven, and Silver gives you live channels plus the on-demand library.

What does EPG mean in the player?

Electronic programme guide: the timetable grid with channels down the side and times across the top. Most players download it automatically together with the channel list.

What speed do I need for 4K?

Speed and buffering are the technical IPTV questions we hear most. Allow roughly 15 Mbps of free bandwidth per 4K screen; Full HD is far lighter. What counts most is a stable link between router and TV, so a cable beats Wi-Fi in a busy building.

Can live channels ever pause or stutter?

Sometimes, as with any live stream over the internet. Our servers are load-balanced to handle busy evenings, but no one can promise zero buffering. Most home-side causes disappear once the TV device is wired to the router.

How many people can watch at once?

Like most account-level IPTV questions, that depends on what you bought. Silver or Gold 4K on its own: one stream. A two-screen option: two. The three-screen Gold 4K lifetime: three. Platinum Lifetime: four.

Can I hide some categories from the children?

Most players include a parental lock. You set a short code and pick which channel groups stay hidden until it is entered. The option sits somewhere different in each app, so message us if it is not obvious; parental settings are among the IPTV questions families send most.

Ask a question
Does the login work when I travel?

Travel is one of the IPTV questions expats ask before every summer. Abroad it behaves as it does at home, provided the hotel or apartment connection is decent. Your plan’s limit on simultaneous screens travels with you.

One channel stopped working. What do you need from me?

Tell us which channel, about what time it failed and on which device. That is enough for us to check the source and report back.

Is IPTV legal where I live?

We cannot give legal advice. Rules differ between countries and change over time, so please check the official guidance that applies to you.

Where can I ask other IPTV questions before paying?

On WhatsApp, seven days a week. Ask as much as you like before ordering; the contact details page also lists our email for anything you want in writing.
