Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I find IPTV apps in Sony's Play Store?

Google restricts many IPTV apps in the Play Store due to policy reasons. That's why we use the Downloader app to sideload them.

Is using Downloader safe?

Yes, Downloader from the Play Store is safe. Only download APKs from trusted sources like the official IPTV Smarters website.

Can I use a VPN with IPTV on Sony TV?

Absolutely! Many VPNs have Android TV apps. We recommend using one for privacy and to bypass geo-restrictions.

Why is my EPG not loading?

Common reasons include incorrect URL format, expired subscription, or server issues. Verify your EPG URL with your provider.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

App not installing: Double-check that you enabled Unknown Sources for Downloader
Buffering issues: Ensure you have at least 15Mbps internet connection for HD streaming
Login failed: Verify your credentials with your IPTV provider
