Common Issues & Solutions
⚠️App won't download or install
Solution: Check your Firestick has enough storage (Settings > My Fire TV > About > Storage). Delete unused apps if needed. Ensure you're connected to Wi-Fi.
⚠️Can't find the app in Amazon Appstore
Solution: Search for alternative players like 'TiviMate' or 'GSE Smart IPTV'. If still not found, enable 'Apps from Unknown Sources' in Settings and sideload the app.
⚠️Channels load but won't play
Solution: Test your internet speed (should be 10+ Mbps). Restart your router and Firestick. Try a different channel to isolate the issue.
⚠️EPG/TV Guide is empty
Solution: EPG can take up to 5 minutes to populate on first load. Close and reopen the app. Check if EPG is enabled in app settings.
