IPTV Box Reset FAQ
Will resetting delete my IPTV subscription?
No, your IPTV subscription is stored on your provider's server. After resetting, just enter your credentials again.
How often should I clear IPTV cache?
Clearing cache once a week or when you notice performance issues is a good practice.
Do I need to contact my IPTV provider after a reset?
Only if you've lost your login credentials. Your subscription remains active after any reset.
My IPTV still doesn't work after factory reset?
Contact your IPTV provider - the issue might be on their server side, not your device.
