01
Trial basics — what is and is not included
What the 24-hour window covers, what happens when it ends, and the no-credit-card guarantee.
Is the IPTV free trial really 24 hours, no card needed?
Yes. A real 24-hour window, full library access, no payment info collected at any point. No card, no PayPal, no auto-billing, nothing to cancel. The clock starts when your Xtream Codes are issued (typically under 60 seconds in UK office hours).
What channels are in the trial vs the paid plan?
Identical. The trial is the full library — same 92,000+ live channels, same 200,000+ VODs, same HD and 4K quality, same UK Sky/TNT/Premier League/Champions League access. We do not gate "premium" channels behind payment. The trial is a real test of the real product.
What happens when my 24 hours end?
Your credentials stop working. Streams quietly cut off. There is no charge, no card on file, nothing to cancel — because we never collected any payment info. To continue, you pick a plan on the pricing page and pay by card or PayPal. Your trial credentials get re-enabled within minutes, with the same Xtream Codes.
Can I extend the trial to 48 hours or a week?
No standard extension — the 24-hour window is fixed so the system stays fair to everyone. If you hit a genuine setup blocker (CDN routing issue, device incompatibility) during your trial, WhatsApp us and we can issue a fresh 24-hour line at our discretion.
Can I request a second trial after my first one ends?
One trial per household is the policy. We detect repeat trials via WhatsApp number + payment fingerprint + IP — not because we are aggressive about it, but because trial abuse would force us to add card-on-file requirements like everyone else. Behave fairly and we will keep the trial genuinely free.
Why is the trial only 24 hours and not 7 days like Netflix?
Two reasons. First, IPTV is consumed differently from Netflix — most households can test the channels they care about (Premier League, Sky Sports, BBC) in one viewing session. Second, our economics: a longer trial would force us to add card-on-file. The 24-hour window keeps the trial genuinely free + genuinely card-free.
02
Activation — speed, devices, credentials
How long activation takes, what device options work, and what the credentials look like.
How fast does the trial activate?
Under 60 seconds during UK office hours (07:00–23:00 GMT). The provisioning system is automated — once you open the WhatsApp thread, your Xtream Codes are generated and sent back instantly. Outside office hours, a human review can add up to 10 minutes.
What credentials do I receive for my trial?
Three things: a server URL (e.g. http://uk-server-2.example.com/c/), a username (typically trial-uk-XXXXX), and a password. These are Xtream Codes — the standard IPTV credential format. Paste them into IPTV Smarters Pro, TiviMate, Smart IPTV or any compatible player.
Why WhatsApp only — no email channel at all?
Speed and reliability. WhatsApp delivers in seconds; email channels add latency, deliverability issues (spam folders) and ticket-queue friction. WhatsApp also keeps a clean conversation history so when you upgrade or hit a setup blocker, our support team has full context. Every UK customer already has WhatsApp installed — it removes every friction step we could remove.
I do not have WhatsApp. Can I still get the trial?
Yes — message us via Telegram (the alternative we support) and we route credentials there. WhatsApp remains the recommended path for fastest activation; Telegram is our fallback. We deliberately do not run an email queue because tickets sit too long.
What devices can I activate the trial on?
Amazon Fire TV Stick (Lite, 4K, 4K Max, Cube), Smart TV (Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Android TV, Google TV), iPhone / iPad, Android phone / tablet, MAG box, Formuler, Enigma2 receiver, Windows / macOS via VLC or Smarters Pro. The Xtream Codes are device-agnostic — switch mid-trial freely.
How many simultaneous streams does the trial cover?
One concurrent stream by default. If you want to test multi-room (2–4 streams at once) tell us on WhatsApp when you request the trial — we provision a multi-device test line at our discretion.
03
Device + player compatibility
Which player apps work with the trial credentials and how to load them on each device.
Does the trial work with IPTV Smarters Pro?
Yes — Smarters Pro is the most popular player on FireStick and Android. Install from the Amazon Appstore (Smarters Player Lite) or sideload Smarters Pro via Downloader. Add User → Xtream Codes API → paste — done. Trial credentials are accepted instantly.
TiviMate compatibility?
Yes — TiviMate is excellent on Android TV / Fire TV Stick 4K / 4K Max. Free install from the Amazon Appstore. Use the m3u Playlist URL we provide (Xtream URL works too in newer versions). Premium TiviMate adds multi-EPG and recording, both compatible with our trial.
Smart IPTV (SIPTV) on Samsung Tizen / LG webOS?
Yes — load the trial m3u URL into the SIPTV app on your Samsung or LG smart TV. The trial works the same as a paid SIPTV setup; you do not need to pay for the SIPTV activation during the 24-hour test (SIPTV has its own one-off £4.99 fee separate from our subscription).
IPTV Player / Stream Player / GSE Smart IPTV?
Yes — all three accept Xtream Codes API. Install from your device app store (most are free), paste the trial credentials, watch. We can recommend the best player for your specific device when you request the trial.
VLC on Windows / Mac / Linux?
Yes — open VLC → Media → Open Network Stream → paste the m3u URL we send. VLC handles the trial fine for testing; for daily viewing you will want a dedicated player (Smarters Pro or TiviMate) with EPG support.
MAG / Formuler / Enigma2 set-top boxes?
Yes — MAG and Formuler accept the m3u portal URL directly via Stalker. Enigma2 receivers use the m3u URL via the IPTV plug-in. Trial credentials are accepted by all three. We provide setup instructions specific to your box on WhatsApp.
04
Trial-to-paid conversion (the upgrade flow)
What happens when you decide to keep the subscription, and what carries over.
When I upgrade, do I lose my settings?
No — that is the entire point. Your trial Xtream Codes are the SAME Xtream Codes you keep on the paid plan. We flip the expiry from 24 hours to your chosen duration. Smarters Pro, TiviMate, SIPTV all keep your favourites, category sort order and 14-day EPG. Zero re-setup.
How long does the upgrade take to apply?
Under 5 minutes from payment confirmation. Stripe / PayPal payment hits our system, the credential expiry gets extended, you receive a WhatsApp confirmation. If you are mid-stream when paying, the stream simply does not cut off.
What plans can I upgrade to from the trial?
Any plan: 1-month (£9.99), 3-month (£24.99), 6-month (£39.99), 12-month (£49.99 — best value). Multi-device upgrades (2/3/4 simultaneous streams) save up to 30%. All listed on the pricing page.
Can I upgrade halfway through my trial?
Yes — you do not have to wait for the 24-hour window to close. WhatsApp us "upgrade to 12 months" or click any plan on the pricing page during your trial. The remaining trial hours become bonus time on top of your paid plan.
Do I have to provide payment info to upgrade?
Yes — at the moment of upgrade you pay by Stripe (card) or PayPal. We never store card numbers; Stripe / PayPal handle the transaction. No card-on-file, no recurring billing, no auto-renew. When your plan expires you actively choose whether to renew.
Can I keep using the trial credentials and never upgrade?
For 24 hours yes, after that no. The credentials stop working at the 24-hour mark. To continue, you upgrade. Nothing stops you from waiting weeks before deciding — the trial offer remains open whenever you choose to act.
05
Pricing, payment methods, refunds
Plans, payment processors, money-back policy.
What are the paid plan prices?
£9.99/month (Starter Pass — 1 device), £24.99/3 months (Quarterly VIP), £39.99/6 months (Half-year Pro), £49.99/12 months (Annual Champ — best value at £4.17/mo). Multi-device packages save 15–30% on 2/3/4 streams.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Stripe (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro) and PayPal. Both are bank-reconciled UK payment processors with KYC — they require business verification, which is why dodgy IPTV providers cannot accept them. If a regular Visa works for you, you are dealing with a regulated business.
Is there a refund policy?
Annual plans: 30-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee from the date of purchase. Monthly plans: no refunds once activated (our provisioning cost is amortised upfront) but no auto-renewal either — you simply let the month expire. The free trial is the structural reason most refunds never get requested.
How do I cancel my subscription?
You do not need to. There is no auto-renewal on any plan. When your plan duration expires, your credentials stop working. To continue, you actively buy another term. To stop, you do nothing. WhatsApp us if you want explicit confirmation your subscription is closed.
Is the price in GBP, EUR or USD?
Default is GBP (£) for UK customers. The site auto-detects your locale and shows EUR or USD if you visit from outside the UK. Stripe / PayPal handles the FX conversion at the rate of your bank/issuer. Trial is always £0 regardless of currency.
06
Is it legal? ISP visibility? Risks?
Straight answers on the legal questions every customer asks before paying.
Is the IPTV service legal in the UK?
We are an IPTV middleware provider — we issue Xtream Codes credentials, we do not host, store, transcode or rebroadcast any content. The legal status of your end-use depends on (a) the rights-licensing in your region and (b) what you do with the credentials. We provide a legal middleware service; you are responsible for confirming the service is permitted in your country.
Is this the same as the "free IPTV M3U lists" on Reddit?
No. Those lists are typically rebroadcast pirate streams that get shut down within weeks. Our service is a paid middleware credential — same as Smarters Pro Pro+, M3U Editor, IPTV Smarters Player, etc. The free 24-hour trial is a marketing tool, not a free service.
Will my ISP (BT, Sky, Virgin) see my IPTV traffic?
Your ISP can see that your device is connected to a streaming server — same way it sees Netflix, BBC iPlayer or YouTube traffic. The content of the stream is encrypted in transit. UK ISPs do not block IPTV-app traffic as policy. No VPN is required.
Do I need a VPN?
No. The service works on every UK broadband provider on stock hardware. Some customers prefer a VPN for general privacy reasons, but it is not required. Be wary of any IPTV provider that says you need a VPN — they are typically rebroadcasting content their licences do not permit.
What happens if the service is shut down — do I lose my money?
Annual plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee precisely for this reason. We have run since 2021 and are not going anywhere, but if you are nervous about long-term continuity, the 1-month plan is the lowest-risk way to start: £9.99 down, walk away owing nothing.
