Getting started
IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) delivers live TV channels and on-demand movies and series over your broadband connection instead of a satellite dish, aerial or cable box. You watch it through a player app on a compatible device.
You subscribe to a service, install a compatible player app on your Firestick, Smart TV, phone or computer, and add the access details you receive. The app then shows live channels, a TV guide and an on-demand library, all streamed over your internet connection.
Message us on WhatsApp to request the 24-hour free trial or choose a plan. Our team sends your access details and guides you through setting up your device step by step.
Yes. Every new customer can request a 24-hour free trial on WhatsApp. No card is needed and there is nothing to cancel afterwards.
Devices and setup
Yes. Amazon Firestick and Fire TV are among the most popular devices for IPTV. You install a compatible player app such as IBO Pro Player from the Amazon Appstore and add your access details.
Android TV boxes, Nvidia Shield, Samsung and LG Smart TVs, Android phones and tablets, iPhone and iPad, and Windows or Mac computers all work with a suitable player app.
Some third-party player apps charge for their own licence after a trial period. That is separate from your PHEONIX 4K subscription, so check the app's terms before installing it.
Streaming quality and buffering
Yes, 4K streams are available where the source allows it, alongside Full HD and HD. Your subscription lists 23,000+ live channels and 150,000+ movies & series. Picture quality depends on the original broadcast, your device and your internet speed.
HD streams need less bandwidth. For a steady 4K picture, aim for a stable connection of around 25 Mbps or more, ideally with a wired connection or strong Wi-Fi near your device.
Restart your router and device, move your device closer to the router or use an Ethernet cable, close apps running in the background and clear the player app's cache. If buffering continues, message our support team with your device and app name.
Plans and payments
We offer 4K and 8K plans in 3, 6 and 12-month lengths. 4K plans include one connection and 8K plans include two. Longer plans lower the monthly cost.
Choose your plan and message us on WhatsApp. Our team confirms the payment details with you and then sends your access details and setup steps.
There are no long-term contracts or cancellation fees. Plus, every plan is covered by our 14-day money-back guarantee — not happy, full refund, no questions asked.

Our support team is available 24/7 on WhatsApp. Tell us which device and player app you use and describe your question or problem.
