Before you start
Three things every setup needs
Whatever device you use, setting up MAXCAST 1 IPTV follows the same pattern: install a player app, sign in with the details we send you, and let the channel list and TV guide load.
Your welcome email contains everything you need — an Xtream Codes login (server URL, username and password) and an M3U playlist link. Most apps accept either one; MAG boxes use a portal URL instead.
A stable connection
