Before You Begin

Before setting up IPTV, you'll need:

• A Premium IPTV subscription - Get yours here
• Stable internet connection (minimum 10 Mbps for HD, 25 Mbps for 4K)
• A compatible device (Smart TV, smartphone, tablet, or computer)
• Your M3U playlist URL or Xtream codes (received after purchase)

Understanding M3U vs Xtream Codes

M3U Playlist

An M3U playlist is a simple text file containing URLs to streaming channels. It's the most common format and works with almost all IPTV apps. You'll receive a URL that looks like: http://server.com:80/get.php?username=user&password=pass&type=m3u

Xtream Codes (M3U with API)

Xtream codes use a username, password, and server URL for authentication. This format offers better stability and additional features like EPG (Electronic Program Guide). You'll receive:

• Server URL: http://server.com:80
• Username: your_username
• Password: your_password
