Common Issues & Fixes

Channels not loading?

Check your internet connection. Restart the app and re-enter your credentials. Make sure the Server URL includes the full address (e.g., http://server.boxlinktv.com:8080).

Buffering or freezing?

Try switching from 4K to FHD or HD quality in the player settings. A wired ethernet connection is recommended for 4K streaming.

Wrong credentials error?

Double-check username and password from your welcome email. Note that credentials are case-sensitive. Contact support if the problem persists.

EPG or Catch-Up not showing?

EPG data can take 10–15 minutes to fully populate on first load. Catch-Up also depends on channel and app support. Force-close and reopen the app after 15 minutes.
