50 Zyminex IPTV Questions, Starting With the Program Guide

It is delivered with your login. The guide is an XMLTV file on the same server as your channels, at an address ending in xmltv.php with your username and password attached. Players signed in with the Xtream Codes login fetch it on their own; a player given only an M3U link may need that address pasted into its guide settings, and support will send it on request.

Run the guide update in the player's settings, then give it a few minutes before you judge the result. Guide data covers a rolling window of days, and how far ahead it reaches varies by channel, so a grid that goes empty after tomorrow evening usually means the automatic refresh is not running. Set the player to update the guide at least once a day and leave that switched on.

Thirty to forty is a good target. That is roughly what fits on a few screens of the guide, so tonight's choices sit in one short scroll instead of a list of 25,000+. Start with the channels you watched this week, add the news and sport you check daily, and prune after a month; a favorite earns its place by being opened, not by sounding useful.

In most full-featured players, yes. Hiding a group removes it from the channel list and the guide on that device only; nothing is taken off your account, and the group can be brought back from the same settings at any time. Hiding whole countries or genres you never watch is the quickest single way to make the guide manageable, well before any favorites are set.

Search by name instead of scrolling. Three or four letters of the channel's name usually bring it up, and some players also search the program listings, so the name of a show can lead you to the channel carrying it. Once you have found it, add it to favorites; the second time should take one press of the remote, not another search.

Yes, in players that support recording. TiViMate Premium records to storage on the device; other players vary. Catch-up needs no storage at all, but it only exists on channels that keep an archive, and only for as long as that channel keeps it. For a program on a channel without the archive icon, a recording is the dependable way to watch it later.

Either the device clock and the listings disagree, or the channel changed its schedule after the guide was downloaded. If every channel is out by the same amount, fix the time zone on the device first. If only one channel is wrong, refresh the guide; when a live event overruns, the listings usually catch up at the next update. A channel that is wrong every day is worth reporting to us by name.

Zyminex is an IPTV subscription built around a program guide: 25,000+ live channels, each with its own row of listings, and a library of 120,000+ films and series, all streamed over your own broadband. You install a player such as TiViMate or IPTV Smarters Pro, sign in with the three details that arrive in the WhatsApp chat, and the grid fills with what is on now, next and later tonight, in your local time.

One month on a single stream costs $15, and a full year costs $69, which comes to about $5.75 a month or 19 cents a day. Plans for two, three or five streams at once cost more, but the channels, the guide, catch-up and the film library are the same on every one of them. Each term is a single payment: there is no contract, and your card details are never stored.

Yes. The trial gives you 24 hours on an unrestricted account and never asks for a card. Every channel, the whole guide, catch-up and the on-demand library are open, so you can look up your own channels, check that tonight's listings match the clock and replay something from this afternoon on a channel that keeps an archive. When the time is up, the account stops by itself.

Almost anything that runs a player app. Sticks and boxes: Fire TV Stick, Nvidia Shield, Roku, Apple TV, MAG and Formuler. Televisions: Samsung and LG smart TVs from 2016 on, and Android or Google TV sets. Phones, tablets and computers: iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and Mac. The login is a standard Xtream Codes account that almost every player accepts; MAG boxes use a portal address instead. For the fullest guide grid, try TiViMate on an Android TV device.

Usually under 15 minutes. Payment and activation happen in the same WhatsApp chat, and the server address, username and password arrive there once the payment clears. Allow a few more minutes on the first sign-in: the player fetches the channel list first and the guide after it, so the grid can look half-empty until the listings finish downloading.

Channels from 60+ countries: the main American, British and Canadian networks, news, sport, film, children's channels and a long international section. The channel list groups the principal ones by country and genre. Inside the player, searching for a channel by name is quicker than scrolling to it, and if there is one channel you cannot do without, look it up during the trial before you pay.

Yes. American leagues (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL), European football from the Premier League to the Champions League, and pay-per-view boxing and UFC cards each sit on dedicated channels, with the bigger broadcasts in 4K where the broadcaster produces them. Look for a fixture in the guide, under the channel showing it. Missed the start? On a channel with an archive, catch-up plays it from the first minute.

Because the player has no listings matched to that channel yet. On a new login the guide is often still downloading, so give it a few minutes and then run the guide refresh. If you signed in with a bare M3U link, the player may have no guide source at all; the Xtream Codes login solves that. Some channels, one-off event feeds for example, carry no listings. A regular channel that stays blank is worth a message to us.

Usually because the device clock is set to the wrong time zone, not because the listings are wrong. Check the time zone and the automatic date and time setting on the TV, stick or box first; a clock set by hand that missed the change to or from daylight saving time does exactly this. If the device is right and the grid is still off, use the player's guide time offset, if it has one.

Channels that keep an archive let you play a program that has already aired, from its first minute. The player marks them with a small archive or clock icon. In a grid-style guide you scroll back to the program and select it; other players give catch-up a section of its own. How far back you can go depends on the channel, and catch-up behaves most reliably with the Xtream Codes login rather than a bare M3U link.

No, and nothing on the service depends on one. A VPN is worth having in two situations only: when your internet provider slows video traffic at peak times, and for privacy when you are watching over public Wi-Fi. If you use one for either reason, pick a server close to where you are; a distant one adds delay and can make the picture worse rather than better.

Budget about 10 Mbps for every HD channel playing at once, and 25 Mbps for every 4K one. Steadiness counts for more than the figure a speed test shows: a line that holds its speed all evening plays better than a faster one that keeps dipping. If the main TV can take an Ethernet cable, use one; it cures more stuttering than any setting inside the player.

Yes, within 7 days of activation, when Zyminex cannot be made to play on your device and support has run out of fixes. Send your username and a description of what fails in the WhatsApp chat; if it cannot be solved, the payment goes back to the original payment method. The guarantee covers a first purchase, not a change of mind once everything works. The refund policy lists exactly what qualifies.

On Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV, TiViMate: its guide is a scrolling grid of the kind cable boxes use, and it copes well with a large line-up. IPTV Smarters Pro is free and runs on more platforms, Apple TV and many smart TVs included; switch on Settings → EPG → “Enable EPG on live TV” so the listing shows while a channel plays. MAG and Formuler boxes draw a guide of their own.

Install a player, choose its Xtream Codes login option, and enter the three details from the WhatsApp message: the server URL with its port, your username and your password. The channel list loads first and the guide follows within a few minutes. The setup guides walk through each device and app, including where the guide settings sit, from a Fire TV Stick to a MAG box.

Yes. A MAG box uses a portal address instead of a username and password, and that portal is bound to the MAC address printed under the box, so send us the MAC first. Formuler boxes use the same portal method inside their MyTVOnline app. Both come with a guide button on the remote, which makes them pleasant for browsing an evening's listings. The MAG and Formuler guide has the steps.

The line-up carries 25,000+ live channels from 60+ countries, plus 120,000+ films and series on demand. A list that long only becomes usable once it is cut down to yours: favorites for the channels you actually open, hidden groups for the countries and genres you never visit, and search for everything in between. The guide then draws only what is left.

Yes. Smart IPTV is the usual route: you upload the M3U link to the TV's MAC address at siptv.app/mylist, restart the app, and the channels and guide load from the playlist. IPTV Smarters Pro, where the TV's app store offers it, takes the Xtream Codes login instead. Either way, check that the TV's own time zone is right before you judge the listings.

The term is how long the account runs, from one month to a year; the stream count is the number of screens allowed to play simultaneously. Installs are unlimited, so the player can sit on every TV, phone and laptop you own, each showing the full guide. The limit only matters when one more screen tries to play while the others are already playing.

$15 if you buy a single month on one stream. Longer terms bring the monthly figure down: three months for $29 works out at $9.67 a month, six months for $45 at $7.50, and twelve months for $69 at $5.75. The same pattern runs through the two-, three- and five-stream plans, so the longest term is always the cheapest way to hold on to the guide.

Twelve months costs $119 with two streams, $159 with three and $239 with five, against $69 with one. Spread over the year, that is about $9.92, $13.25 and $19.92 a month. Counted per screen, the five-stream year is the lowest price on the menu, around $3.98 per stream per month. Every tier carries the same channels, guide, catch-up and on-demand library.

No. Every plan opens the same 25,000+ channels, the same program guide in your own time zone, the same catch-up archive and the same 120,000+ films and series, in 4K wherever a channel is produced in it. Paying more buys one of two things: a longer term, or more screens playing at once. No tier holds back channels, listings or picture quality.

No. Each term is paid once and then simply ends, and since no card is kept on file there is nothing that could be charged again. A reminder arrives in the WhatsApp chat before the end date. If you renew there, the same login carries on, so the favorites, hidden groups and guide settings in your player stay exactly as you left them.

In the WhatsApp chat, after you pick a term and a stream count. Which payment methods are available depends on your country, so we list them when you order, and the price quoted in the chat is the full price in USD. Whatever the method, never type a full card number or a bank password into a chat window; no genuine seller needs them there.

Yes. Every price on this site is in USD, and the figure quoted in the WhatsApp chat matches the published one, with nothing added when you pay. If your bank account or card is held in another currency, your bank or payment service may apply its own exchange rate or conversion fee, which sits outside our control.

Yes, at any point. Send your username and the stream count you want in the WhatsApp chat; we move the account to the new tier and charge only the difference for the time left on your term, rather than starting a new one. The login stays the same, so the screens already set up need no changes, and the extra stream is available from then on.

No. The price you are quoted is the whole price. The 4K feeds, the program guide, catch-up and the on-demand library come with every plan, and nothing is sold as an add-on. The one thing you might choose to pay for separately is a player: TiViMate Premium, bought in the TiViMate Companion phone app, if you want recording, multi-view and multiple playlists.

One month if you are unsure, the year if the trial has already convinced you. Twelve single months would cost $180 against $69 for the annual term, so the year is far cheaper once you know you will use it. A sensible middle course: take a month, notice whether opening the guide has become part of your evenings by week three, then move to the year.

Probably not. Most smart TVs, phones and computers from the last several years can run a player. If you want dedicated hardware for the main television, a Fire TV Stick, typically $30 to $50, runs TiViMate and IPTV Smarters Pro comfortably. Formuler and MAG boxes cost more, roughly $120 to $180, and suit anyone who wants a proper guide button on the remote. Our box comparison goes further.

Extended outages are made good with extra days added to your term, as the terms of service set out. The servers are run for 99.9% uptime, but no network is immune to brief interruptions. If a single channel stops while everything else plays, send us its name exactly as the guide shows it, and the time it stopped, so that feed can be checked.

No. One account covers one household; sharing a login outside the home breaks the terms and ends the account without a refund. Within the household, install the player on as many screens as you like and choose a stream count that covers the largest number of people likely to be watching different things at the same moment.

The whole service. For 24 hours the account opens every one of the 25,000+ channels with its listings, catch-up on the channels that keep an archive, the 120,000+ films and series and the 4K feeds. It is a normal account with an end time, not a demo with parts switched off, so the guide you test is the guide you would be paying for.

No. The trial never asks for payment details of any kind, so there is nothing to cancel when it ends. You ask for it on WhatsApp or with the form on the free trial page, the login comes back in the chat, and the account switches itself off once its 24 hours have passed. It only becomes a paid plan if you ask for one.

Usually within a few minutes of your message. A member of the team creates each trial account by hand and sends the details in the WhatsApp chat, so you can ask there which player suits your screen. The 24 hours count from the moment the account is created, so ask for it on a day with a free evening ahead of you.

Five things, in order: that your own channels are in the guide with listings; that tonight's programs appear at the right local time; that one program plays back from catch-up; that search and favorites get you to a channel in seconds; and that all of it works on the screen and remote you will actually use. Anything that fails is worth a message before the time runs out.

No. Choose a plan in the same WhatsApp chat and the trial login carries on as a paid account, so the favorites, hidden groups and guide settings you made in the player stay where they are. Nothing needs to be entered again. If you would rather start fresh on another device, say so and new details are sent instead.

Normally not; it is one trial per household. The first one is there to prove that the guide, catch-up and picture work on your equipment, and a second rarely shows anything the first did not. If a problem on our side spoiled it, such as a guide that would not load, tell us in the chat and the trial is usually extended.

Usually not. IPTV Smarters Pro is free, and the free version of TiViMate already draws a full guide grid; its Premium upgrade, bought in the TiViMate Companion phone app with a 7-day trial of its own, adds recording, multi-view and multiple playlists. Smart IPTV on Samsung and LG televisions asks a small one-off fee per TV. The TiViMate guide covers the details.

Not in any way worth an evening. Permanently free playlists are copied streams with no guide behind them, shared by so many people that they tend to disappear within days, and the pages handing them out are a common source of malware. The 24-hour trial exists so you can see a working guide on your own screen before deciding whether $15 a month is worth it to you.

The technology is: IPTV simply means television carried over an internet connection, and plenty of licensed broadcasters deliver their channels that way. Whether a particular service holds the rights to everything it carries is a separate question, and the rules for viewers differ from country to country. Our article on IPTV and the law sets out what the law says, without pretending the question is simpler than it is.

It is possible, and simple to test. If channels stutter at the same hours every day but play cleanly over a phone's mobile data at those hours, the home connection is being slowed. Try a wired connection to the TV first. If that changes nothing, a VPN with a nearby server is the usual remedy for throttling. If mobile data stutters too, send us the channel name and the time.

Yes. The reseller panel lets you open and manage accounts for your own customers from credits bought at wholesale rates, and the service goes out under your name rather than ours while we keep running the servers and the guide feed. The reseller page explains the credit packs; to start, send the word reseller in the WhatsApp chat.

Yes. Accounts opened from the panel are ordinary Zyminex logins with the full 25,000+ line-up, the same program guide, catch-up on the archive channels and the 120,000+ on-demand titles. They sign in with the same players and follow the same setup guides, so everything on this site applies to them as well.
