For more about Stremzi IPTV, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
How does IPTV work?
IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) delivers TV channels and video content over the internet instead of traditional cable, satellite, or terrestrial broadcasting. When you stream an IPTV channel, video data is sent as compressed packets over your internet connection in real time.
To watch IPTV with Stremzi, you need: (1) a stable internet connection (5+ Mbps for HD, 25+ Mbps for 4K), (2) a compatible device like a Smart TV, Fire TV Stick, or smartphone, and (3) an IPTV player app such as IPTV Smarters Pro, TiviMate, or GSE Smart IPTV. After purchasing a Stremzi subscription, you receive Xtream Codes credentials by email, enter them in your IPTV app, and start streaming instantly.
For more about how IPTV works, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
How is Stremzi different from cable or Netflix?
Stremzi differs from traditional cable and Netflix in three major ways:
- Channel count: Cable typically offers 200-500 channels; Netflix has zero live TV. Stremzi delivers 15,000-45,000+ live channels including international networks.
- Cost: Cable runs $130+/month with hidden fees; Netflix is $15+/month. Stremzi starts at $3.33/month with no equipment fees, no contracts, and no hidden charges.
- Flexibility: Cable requires installation and a box per TV. Netflix only has on-demand. Stremzi works on any modern device with internet — no installation, no commitment, and includes both live TV and a 220,000+ VOD library.
For more about Stremzi vs cable, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
How many channels does Stremzi offer?
Stremzi offers two main subscription tiers with different channel counts:
- Standard plan: 15,000+ live channels covering major networks worldwide
- Premium plan: 45,000+ live channels including extensive international coverage from 160+ countries
Both plans include access to a comprehensive video-on-demand (VOD) library — 50,000+ titles on Standard, 220,000+ on Premium. Coverage includes sports leagues, news networks, entertainment, movies, documentaries, kids’ content, music channels, and regional programming. Channel availability varies by source provider, but the library is updated continuously.

Where is Stremzi available?
Stremzi IPTV is available in 160+ countries worldwide. The service works anywhere with a stable internet connection — no geographic restrictions on the subscription itself. Stremzi has active subscribers across North America, Europe, Middle East, North Africa, Asia, Oceania, and Latin America.
Channel content is sourced globally, so you’ll find networks from the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Middle East, North Africa, Asia, and many more regions. If you’re traveling internationally, your Stremzi subscription continues to work as long as you have internet access. For some content, a VPN may help with regional access — see our VPN guide.

For more about Stremzi free trial, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
How much does Stremzi cost?

- Semi-annual (6 months): save up to 60% + 1 month free
- Annual (12 months): save up to 66% + 2 months free

For more about Stremzi discount, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes — Stremzi offers a 7-day money-back guarantee on all paid IPTV subscriptions. If you’re not satisfied for any reason within the first 7 days, request a full refund — no questions asked.
To request a refund, contact Stremzi support via live chat, email, WhatsApp, or Telegram with your order ID. Refunds are processed to the original payment method and typically appear within 3-10 business days depending on your bank or payment provider.
The guarantee applies to all plans (Standard, Premium, all durations and device counts). See our detailed refund guide for the complete process.
For more about money-back guarantee, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
Is there an auto-renewal subscription?
No — Stremzi uses one-time payments only, with no auto-renewal. When you purchase a subscription, you pay for a specific duration (1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or 24 months) — that’s it.
Your subscription naturally expires at the end of the chosen duration. To continue, you place a new order before or after expiration. Stremzi sends renewal reminder emails 7 days and 1 day before your subscription ends, so you have plenty of time to renew without interruption. If you renew before expiration, your existing credentials typically remain the same — no need to reconfigure your IPTV app.
For more about Stremzi auto-renewal, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.

How do I install Stremzi on Fire TV Stick?
Installing Stremzi on Amazon Fire TV Stick takes about 10 minutes:
- Enable “Apps from Unknown Sources” in Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options
- Install IPTV Smarters Pro from the Amazon Appstore (search and download)
- Or install TiviMate via Downloader app (sideload)
- Open the IPTV app and choose “Login with Xtream Codes API”
- Enter your Stremzi username, password, and server URL from the activation email
- Wait 30 seconds to 2 minutes for channels and VOD to load
For 4K streaming, use Fire TV Stick 4K or 4K Max. See the complete Fire TV Stick setup guide.
For more about Fire TV Stick setup, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
How do I set up Stremzi on Samsung Smart TV?
For Samsung Smart TVs running Tizen 4.0+ (2018 and newer), the recommended setup is:
- Open Samsung Apps and search for “IBO Player Pro” or “Smart IPTV”
- Install the app on your TV
- Open the app — it will display your Device ID/MAC address
- From a phone or computer, visit the activation portal (URL shown in the app)
- Pay the one-time activation fee (~$5-10) and enter your Device ID
- Add your Stremzi M3U URL or Xtream Codes credentials
- Restart the app on your TV — channels load automatically
For older Samsung TVs (pre-2018), we recommend using a Fire TV Stick instead. See the complete Samsung & LG setup guide.
For more about Samsung Smart TV setup, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
Where do I find my login credentials?
Your Stremzi login credentials are sent to you by email immediately after payment. The activation email comes from support@stremzi.com within minutes of order completion.
The email contains two ways to log in:
- Xtream Codes (recommended): Username, password, and server URL — works with most modern IPTV apps
- M3U URL: A single URL containing your credentials — for VLC, Kodi, and older players
If you can’t find the activation email, check your spam/junk folder. If it’s still missing, contact Stremzi support with your order ID — credentials are re-sent within minutes. See credentials guide.
For more about Stremzi credentials, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
Can I use Stremzi on Roku?
Roku doesn’t natively support most IPTV players, but you can stream Stremzi via screen mirroring from your phone, tablet, or computer to your Roku device.
Methods that work:
- Android screen mirroring: Cast from your Android phone running IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate
- AirPlay (Roku 2020+): Stream from iPhone or Mac running GSE Smart IPTV
- Web Video Caster: Install on Roku and your phone, paste your M3U URL
For a better IPTV experience, consider replacing your Roku with a Fire TV Stick 4K Max ($59) — it natively supports all popular IPTV apps. See the full Roku setup guide.
For more about Stremzi on Roku, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
Do I need a MAG box?
No — a MAG box is not required. Stremzi works on devices you likely already own: Smart TVs, Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, smartphones, tablets, and computers.
However, MAG boxes (MAG 254, 256, 322, 425) are popular for users who prefer a dedicated IPTV device with a simple, focused interface. They use Stalker portal authentication via MAC address — no username/password to type. To set up a MAG box, contact Stremzi support with your MAC address and order ID; we’ll configure your portal within minutes.
Alternatives like Fire TV Stick 4K Max are often more affordable, more flexible, and offer access to other apps too. See the MAG box setup guide.
For more about MAG box for IPTV, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
Streaming Quality & Performance
What internet speed do I need?
Your required internet speed depends on the resolution and number of simultaneous streams:

- HD (720p): 5 Mbps minimum, 10 Mbps recommended
- Full HD (1080p): 10 Mbps minimum, 15 Mbps recommended

- A 4K-rated HDMI cable
If 4K isn’t playing smoothly, see our 4K troubleshooting guide.
For more about Stremzi 4K streaming, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
Why is my IPTV buffering?
IPTV buffering is usually caused by network issues, not the IPTV service itself. Common causes and fixes:
- Slow internet: Test your speed; upgrade plan if below requirements
- Wi-Fi interference: Switch to Ethernet or 5GHz Wi-Fi
- Router issues: Restart router and modem (unplug 60 seconds)
- ISP throttling: Try a VPN to bypass throttling
- Slow DNS: Switch to Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) or Google DNS (8.8.8.8)

For comprehensive diagnostics, see our complete buffering fix guide and the 5 hidden causes guide if you have fast internet but still buffer.
For more about IPTV buffering, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.

What is EPG (TV Guide)?
EPG (Electronic Program Guide) is the digital TV guide showing what’s airing now and upcoming on each channel — like a TV listings magazine built into your IPTV app.
Stremzi includes a 7-day EPG covering most major channels. The EPG appears automatically when you log in via Xtream Codes (recommended). With M3U-only login, EPG may need to be configured separately.
EPG features available in TiviMate, IPTV Smarters Pro, and most modern players:
- Browse upcoming shows by channel and time
- Set program reminders
- Catch-up TV (rewind to programs from the past 7 days)
- Search programs by title or genre
If your EPG is missing, see our EPG fix guide.
For more about IPTV EPG TV Guide, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
Does Stremzi have catch-up TV?
Yes — Stremzi includes catch-up TV on most major channels. Catch-up TV lets you watch programs that aired in the past 7 days, even if you missed them live or didn’t record them.
To use catch-up TV:
- Open your IPTV app (TiviMate, IPTV Smarters Pro, etc.)
- Browse the EPG (TV Guide)
- Scroll back to a previously aired program
- Click the program — playback starts from the beginning
Catch-up availability varies by channel — some channels have full catch-up, others have limited or no catch-up. Premium subscribers may have extended catch-up retention on select channels. The feature is most polished in TiviMate.
For more about Stremzi catch-up TV, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.

Important guidelines:
- Within your home: Use your credentials on multiple devices freely (TVs, phones, tablets)
- Stay within device limits: Don’t exceed the simultaneous streams your plan allows
- Avoid public sharing: Sharing credentials publicly or with strangers can cause account issues
For family use, the 4-Device or 5-Device plans give the best per-device value. The 5-Device 2-year plan works out to about $1.93/month per device. See multi-device setup for adding more devices.
For more about share Stremzi account, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.

Reseller Program
Can I become a Stremzi reseller?
Yes — Stremzi has a comprehensive reseller program. As a reseller, you buy credits in bulk at wholesale prices (up to 70% off retail) and sell subscriptions to your customers at retail prices.
To become a Stremzi reseller:
- Visit the Resellers page
- Submit the reseller application form
- Wait 24-48 hours for approval
- Receive panel credentials and wholesale pricing
- Buy credits and start creating customer subscriptions
The reseller program includes a full control panel, white-label options for high-volume resellers, sub-reseller capabilities, and priority support. See how to become a reseller for full details.
For more about Stremzi reseller, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
How does the reseller pricing work?
Stremzi reseller pricing is volume-based — the more credits you buy, the lower the per-credit cost.
Typical packages:
- 10 credits: entry-level package, higher per-credit cost
- 50 credits: better per-credit pricing
- 100 credits: best standard per-credit pricing
- Custom packages: for high-volume resellers, contact support for custom rates
Each credit creates one customer subscription (1, 3, 6, or 12 months). Resellers typically aim for 50-70% gross margin on monthly subscriptions. For pricing strategy guidance, see our reseller pricing strategy guide.
For more about Stremzi reseller pricing, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
How does the reseller control panel work?
The Stremzi reseller control panel is your operations hub for managing customer subscriptions. Key features:
- Dashboard: Available credits, active customers, expiring soon, recent activity
- Create Lines: Generate customer subscriptions instantly using credits
- Manage Customers: View, renew, upgrade, reset passwords, view connection logs
- Bulk Actions: Renew multiple customers, send reminders, export to CSV
- Reports: Sales, renewal rate, active vs expired, credit usage
- Sub-Resellers: Allocate credits to sub-resellers (advanced feature)
Customer creation takes seconds — choose duration, plan type, device count, customer email, and credentials are generated instantly. See the complete reseller control panel guide.
For more about reseller control panel, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
What’s the difference between reseller and affiliate?
Stremzi offers two distinct programs to earn money:
- Reseller Program: You buy credits in bulk at wholesale prices, set your own retail prices, and manage customer accounts. Best for those running an IPTV business with their own brand.
- Affiliate Program: You promote Stremzi via referral links and earn commissions on each sale. Best for content creators, bloggers, and social media promoters.
Reseller is more hands-on (you handle customer support, billing, marketing) but offers higher margins and full control over pricing. Affiliate is simpler (just share links and track conversions) but with lower per-sale earnings. Some power users do both. See affiliate program details for affiliate sign-up.
For more about reseller vs affiliate, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
Can I create sub-resellers?
Yes — high-volume Stremzi resellers can create sub-reseller networks. Sub-resellers buy credits from you (instead of directly from Stremzi) at your wholesale rate, allowing you to scale through a distribution network.
How it works:
- You become a Stremzi master reseller and reach the volume threshold
- Contact support to enable sub-reseller features on your panel
- Create sub-reseller accounts and allocate credits at your wholesale rate
- Sub-resellers create customer subscriptions using your credits
- You earn margin between Stremzi wholesale and sub-reseller wholesale; sub-resellers earn between your wholesale and retail
This is great for franchise/distributor models. See the complete sub-reseller guide.
For more about Stremzi sub-resellers, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
Legal & Compliance
Should I use a VPN with Stremzi?
A VPN is not required to use Stremzi, but it can be beneficial in specific situations:
- ISP throttling: If your ISP slows down video streams, a VPN can bypass this
- Public Wi-Fi: VPN protects your traffic on hotel, airport, or coffee shop networks
- Privacy: Hide your streaming activity from your ISP
- Travel: Watch home content while abroad
- Network blocking: Bypass workplace or school network restrictions
If you don’t have buffering issues and aren’t concerned about privacy, a VPN may not be necessary. Choose a quality paid VPN (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark) with WireGuard support — free VPNs often slow streams. See the complete VPN with IPTV guide.
For more about VPN with Stremzi, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.

- Refresh the playlist: In your IPTV app, force-update the playlist (TiviMate: Settings → Playlists → Update; IPTV Smarters: Refresh User Info)
- Restart the app: Force-close and reopen
- Check categories: Some categories may be hidden in app settings
- Verify subscription: Confirm your subscription hasn’t expired
- Test internet: Run a speed test to confirm connectivity
- Re-add the playlist: Remove and re-add with your credentials
- Try backup server: Premium subscribers can request backup credentials from support
For specific channel issues (only some channels failing), see channels missing fix.

Why does my login fail?
“Invalid credentials” or “Authentication failed” is usually due to typos. Common fixes:
- Re-enter carefully: Copy and paste credentials directly from your activation email — watch for hidden trailing spaces
- Check Caps Lock: Username and password are case-sensitive
- Server URL format: Include http:// and port number (e.g., http://server.example.com:8080)
- Subscription status: Verify your subscription is active
- Connection limit: Force-close apps on other devices if you’ve exceeded max connections
- Try alternate login: If Xtream Codes fails, try M3U URL (or vice versa)
- Different network: Test on mobile data to rule out ISP blocking
If none of these work, contact Stremzi support for fresh credentials. See the complete login fix guide.

Why is my IPTV freezing?
IPTV freezing is typically caused by network or device issues:
- Internet too slow: Test your speed; needs 5+ Mbps for HD, 25+ Mbps for 4K
- Wi-Fi unstable: Switch to Ethernet or 5GHz Wi-Fi
- Router needs restart: Unplug router and modem 60 seconds, plug back
- ISP throttling: Test with a VPN — if VPN fixes it, your ISP is throttling
- Overheated device: Fire TV Stick can throttle when hot — ensure ventilation
- Background apps: Close other apps using bandwidth (cloud sync, downloads)
- App buffer too small: Increase buffer size in app settings to 30-60 seconds
For comprehensive diagnostics, see buffering & freezing fix guide.

Why is the EPG not showing?
If your EPG (TV Guide) is missing, try these fixes:
- Force EPG update: In TiviMate: Settings → EPG → Update Now. In IPTV Smarters: Refresh User Info & EPG
- Wait for initial load: First EPG download can take 5-10 minutes on slow connections
- Check time zone: Wrong time zone makes EPG times look incorrect
- Use Xtream Codes login: EPG often works better via Xtream Codes than M3U URL
- Restart app: Force-close and reopen
- Request EPG URL: Contact Stremzi support for a fresh EPG XMLTV URL
Note: Not every channel has EPG — niche or international channels often lack it. See the complete EPG fix guide.
For more about EPG not showing, see our complete help center guides or contact our 24/7 support team.
Why does my IPTV app keep crashing?
If your IPTV app keeps crashing, try these fixes:
- Restart the app: Force-close (don’t just minimize) and reopen
- Restart the device: Power off completely, wait 30 seconds, power on
- Clear app cache: Settings → Apps → IPTV Smarters/TiviMate → Storage → Clear Cache
- Update the app: Latest versions fix bugs and improve stability
- Update OS: iOS, tvOS, Android, Fire OS — newer versions often fix issues
- Free up storage: Low storage causes crashes
- Reinstall: Uninstall, restart device, reinstall, re-enter credentials
- Try a different app: Switch from IPTV Smarters to TiviMate or vice versa
See the complete app crashing fix guide.

Why is my stream not playing in 4K?
If 4K isn’t working on Stremzi, check these:
- Premium plan required: Standard caps at Full HD; only Premium offers 4K
- Choose 4K channel variant: Look for [4K] or [UHD] tags in the channel list
- 4K device: You need Fire TV Stick 4K/4K Max, Apple TV 4K, NVIDIA Shield, or 4K Smart TV
- HDMI 2.0 cable: Older HDMI cables don’t support 4K
- Internet speed: 25+ Mbps required, 50+ recommended
- TV settings: Enable HDMI Ultra HD Color/Deep Color in TV display settings
- Hardware acceleration: Enable in IPTV app settings
- Use Ethernet: 4K is unstable on weak Wi-Fi
For complete 4K diagnostics, see the 4K fix guide.
