How to watch
What you got
Three pieces of information, typed once per device.
- A username
- A string of letters and numbers. It’s not your email.
- A password
- The one for your TV access. It’s not the one for your account on this site.
- A portal address
- It starts with http. Depending on the app, it’s called “portal”, “server”, “host” or “URL”.
You’ll find all three in My account.
On the TV
Choose your device. On each one, you install a player app, then type your three pieces of information into it.
- Google TV and Android TV Chromecast with Google TV, Google TV Streamer, Nvidia Shield, and Sony, TCL or Hisense TVs with Google TV. Show the instructions
- Amazon Fire TV Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Cube and TVs with Fire TV built in. Show the instructions
- Apple TV Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K. Show the instructions
- Samsung TV Show the instructions
- LG TV Show the instructions
Typing your information
Uppercase and lowercase letters matter. Easiest: open your account on a phone and copy them over. On Google TV and Apple TV, the phone can also be the keyboard.
Type the whole portal address: it starts with http and ends with the number after the colon, with no spaces and no slash at the end. Always choose Xtream Codes, never Stalker or MAC portal.
One screen at a time, this site’s player included. Before switching devices, close the app or the tab on the other one, then wait a minute.
Your device isn’t listed
Apps change names often. If yours asks for a username, a password and a portal, it works.
On a phone or tablet
Install a player app, then type your three pieces of information into it. You can also watch in the browser, with nothing to install. One screen at a time: the phone counts just like the TV.
In the browser
Watch on this site, with nothing to install: handy while travelling, on a laptop, or to check your access.
This counts as your device
If the TV is on with the same credentials, it cuts out.
-
Open your account
Log in on this site and go to “My account.”
-
Choose “Watch in the browser”
Accept the warning, then the channel list appears.
-
Choose a channel
When you’re done, press “Stop”: the TV can take over right away.
When it doesn’t work
- The picture freezes or keeps spinning
- It’s almost always the internet connection. Move the device closer to the router or plug it in by cable. Otherwise, close the app and reopen it.
- It cuts out when someone else is watching
- That’s normal: a subscription allows one device at a time.
- The app says the credentials are wrong
- Check the uppercase letters, and that you typed the password for your TV access, not the one for your account on this site.
- Nothing loads at all
- Check the end date in your account: a subscription that has ended stops working without warning.
