What has gone wrong?

Most of it is answered below, and the triage table is the fastest route if something is misbehaving right now. If none of it fits, message us. A person reads every one.

Fast triage

Match the pattern, find the cause

Before changing anything, work out which of these five describes what you are seeing. The pattern points straight at the cause and saves a long conversation.

What you seeWhat it usually means
Every channel, every deviceThe problem is your connection or your line. Test the same credentials on a phone using mobile data, which separates the two in under a minute.
One channel, everything else fineThat source is having a bad night. Try the same fixture from another group, then tell us which channel it was.
One device, others fineThe device is the problem. Power cycle it at the wall, clear the player cache, and check it is not out of storage.
Only in the eveningThat pattern points at either home network congestion or peak-hour shaping by your provider. Run a VPN through one match to tell them apart.
Started when someone else began watchingYou are sharing one device slot across two screens. Each simultaneous stream needs its own set of credentials.
Questions

Everything people ask us

If I order an hour before kick-off, will it be working in time?

Yes, with room to spare. Activation is fully automated and runs the moment the payment gateway confirms the transaction, which normally takes seconds rather than minutes. Your credentials appear on the confirmation screen and arrive by email at the same time. The only realistic delay is a bank holding a card payment for extra verification, and even then the line goes live automatically as soon as that clears. If you want to be certain, ordering the morning of a big event leaves you time to install the app and test a channel calmly.

Which devices can I watch live sport on?

If it handles Xtream Codes, an M3U playlist or a MAG portal, it will handle us, and that description fits very nearly every streaming device on sale. In practice: Fire TV sticks, Android handsets, tablets and TV boxes, the Nvidia Shield, televisions running Tizen or webOS, MAG and Formuler receivers, laptops on Windows or macOS, and iPhones or iPads through an App Store player. For the main television with a room full of people in front of it, a Fire Stick or Android box on a cable is the pairing that generates the fewest support messages.

Can two matches run at the same time in one house?

Only where you have paid for a device slot per simultaneous stream. Every slot carries credentials of its own, which is what lets a downstairs television and an upstairs one run different fixtures with neither being kicked off. Sharing one set of details across two screens does not work. The second connection gets refused, and the visible result is both televisions dropping out in turn, invariably at the worst possible moment.

Why is my stream a few seconds behind my neighbours?

All internet delivery carries some delay, because the picture is packaged into short segments before it travels and the player holds a small buffer so a hiccup does not stop playback. Satellite and cable carry a delay too, they simply carry a different one. A gap of a handful of seconds between your screen and a phone alert or a shout from next door is completely normal. If the gap runs to a minute or more, the player is buffering far too aggressively and lowering the buffer setting in the app usually pulls it back.

What happens if a feed fails in the middle of a match?

Open the same fixture from another group in your list. Major events carry more than one source deliberately, listed in different quality tiers, so there is somewhere to go without waiting for anybody. If every option for that one event is struggling, message support during the match with the fixture name and the time, because that tells us the problem is at the source rather than on your line and we can switch the feed while the game is still on.

What connection do I need for live sport?

About 15 Mbps is comfortable for a single HD stream and 25 Mbps or more per stream for 4K, but consistency matters far more than the headline figure. Fast-moving sport is harder to encode than a film, so a wobbly line shows it up much sooner. A steady 20 Mbps over Ethernet will out-perform an unstable 200 Mbps over Wi-Fi every single time. If you can run a cable to the television that carries the football, do it once and stop thinking about it.

Do I need a VPN?

Most people do not. It becomes worth trying when the picture is fine in the afternoon and unwatchable at eight in the evening while speed tests still look healthy, which is the classic signature of an internet provider shaping sustained video traffic during peak hours. Testing this costs you one evening: run a VPN through a match and see whether the stutter disappears. If it does, you have found your cause.

What does the region choice at checkout change?

The order of your channel list, not its contents. Every plan carries the same full line-up. Choosing the European option lifts the English, Spanish, Italian and German groups to the top, choosing USA raises the American networks, and choosing Arabic raises the MENA groups. It exists so you are not scrolling through several thousand entries with fifteen minutes to kick-off. If you decide later that a different grouping suits you better, send us your order number and we will rearrange it for nothing.

What happens when my subscription runs out mid-season?

The line stops on its expiry date and the app quietly stops loading channels. A renewal placed from your account pushes the existing line further out instead of creating a fresh one, which is why your credentials stay exactly as they were and no device needs touching. A reminder goes out ahead of the date so it does not ambush you on the night of a fixture you care about. Renewing a day or two early is tidiest, since the extension then lands on a line that is still live.

Is the payment secure?

Yes. Card payments go through a 3-D Secure gateway where your own bank verifies the transaction before it completes, and card details are never transmitted to or stored on our servers. What we keep is your name, your email address and your order history, because we need those to support you and renew you. Nothing else is collected and nothing is sold on.

Message a person

Send your order number, the device you are on, and the fixture and time if it is a live event problem. Those three details turn a four-message conversation into a one-message fix, because the answer for a Fire Stick is rarely the answer for a MAG box.
