IPTV in the UAE: the questions, answered properly

Plans start at AED 80 for six months on one screen with the AED 20 newcomer credit — about AED 13.33 a month. A 12-month one-screen plan is AED 120 (AED 10 a month), and 24 months is AED 180 (AED 7.50 a month). Two- and three-screen plans are listed in the table above.

Yes. The price shown on every plan already includes AED 20 off your first subscription. There is no coupon code and no minimum spend. It applies once per household on a first order and cannot be combined with another credit.

A connection is a simultaneous stream. A one-connection plan lets one device play at a time; a three-connection plan lets three different screens play different channels at the same time. You can install the app on as many devices as you like — the limit is how many can watch at once.

Yes. Message us on WhatsApp with your order number and we will quote the difference for the remaining period. You keep the same login and playlist; only the simultaneous-stream allowance changes.

We accept UAE-issued and international debit or credit cards, bank transfer, and common digital wallets. Prices are in AED. We confirm the exact options on WhatsApp before you pay, and you receive a receipt with your activation details.

The plan simply runs to its end date. There is no auto-renewal and no card stored on file. When you are ready, you renew at the normal list price shown struck through on the plan card — still with no contract.

Yes. We offer a free 24-hour trial with no card. Message us on WhatsApp with your device type and the channels you want to test, and we will activate a temporary line.

There is nothing to cancel. The trial line expires on its own, and paid plans do not auto-renew. No card is stored, so there is no recurring charge to stop.

No. The service is configured to work on e& (Etisalat) and du home internet without a VPN. A VPN usually adds latency and makes 4K sport worse, not better. If you already use one for work, turn it off for the TV device and test again before assuming the IPTV line is at fault.

For Firestick and Android TV, TiviMate has the best guide and channel switching. IPTV Smarters Pro is the easiest to set up. On Samsung and LG, IBO Player, VU Player and HotPlayer are the usual choices. On iPhone and Apple TV, IPTV Smarters or GSE Smart IPTV work well.

Usually 5 to 30 minutes during UAE daytime, and within 24 hours at the outside. You will receive a server URL, username, password and, where relevant, a device key instruction. Activation is not instant on every TV model because some apps require us to attach the device key manually.

You can install the app on both, but only as many devices as your connection count can watch at the same time. A one-screen plan will stop one stream when the second starts. If two people watch in different rooms, choose a two- or three-screen plan.

Almost always the TV app or the TV's Wi-Fi. Test the same login on a phone using mobile data; if it works, the line is fine. Then connect the TV by Ethernet or move the router closer, clear the app cache, and update the player. Old Smart TV apps are the second most common cause.

Not necessarily. Samsung and LG TVs can run a player app natively. A Fire Stick or Android box is still worth it if your TV is older, if the app store is restricted, or if you want the fastest channel switching and 4K support.

A Fire TV Stick 4K Max is roughly AED 180–250, a basic Android TV box is roughly AED 150–350, a Formuler Z11 is roughly AED 550–750, and an NVIDIA Shield TV Pro is roughly AED 850–1,100. These are hardware prices, separate from the subscription. You may not need any of them if your Smart TV can run a player app.

No. We sell the subscription, not locked hardware. Any compatible Firestick, Android TV box, Smart TV, phone, tablet or computer works. Buying your own device means you can switch providers without losing the hardware.

Hot IPTV is the common search name for HotPlayer, a media player app. It does not provide channels by itself. You need an IPTV subscription — ours supplies the server, username, password and playlist. The app may also charge its own activation fee for the device, which is separate from the IPTV subscription and paid to the app developer.

No. HotPlayer is a player, and its own activation unlocks the app, not a channel package. The channels come from the IPTV line you load into it. If a seller bundles the two, ask for a breakdown of the app fee and the subscription period so you know what renews and what does not.

For Firestick and Android TV, TiviMate Premium is the strongest for guides and recording. On Samsung and LG, HotPlayer, IBO Player Pro and VU Player are the usual choices. IPTV Smarters Pro is the simplest for family members who just want to press play. The paid app is optional — a free player can run the same IPTV line.

No. The IPTV subscription and the player app are separate purchases. A free player such as IPTV Smarters or VLC can play the same login. Paid apps add convenience: a better guide, recording, multiple playlists or native support on a specific TV. Choose one only if you value those features.

We can guide you through installation and connect the IPTV line. The app activation itself is tied to your device or MAC address and is controlled by the app developer, so we cannot activate or refund their fee. We will tell you clearly which payment is for the app and which is for the IPTV subscription.

Yes. Dubai TV, Abu Dhabi TV, Al Emarat, Sama Dubai, Dubai Sports, Abu Dhabi Sports, MBC and Rotana are part of the standard lineup. Arabic channels are not a paid add-on, and you can switch between Arabic, English and South Asian groups inside the same player.

Yes — Colors TV, Star Plus, Zee TV, Sony, SAB and a wide set of regional-language channels are included. That includes the feeds used for Bigg Boss and the major Hindi serials. Availability of a specific regional feed can change, so message us with the channel name before ordering if it is essential.

Yes. Geo TV, ARY Digital, Hum TV, PTV, Express and the main Urdu news channels are in the Pakistani group, along with cricket coverage. If you want a specific PSL or international match feed, ask us on WhatsApp and we will confirm it before you pay.

Yes. TFC, GMA Pinoy TV, GMA Life TV, Kapamilya Channel, Cinema One and ANC are part of the Filipino group. These are among the most requested channels by UAE subscribers, so they are checked as part of our regular lineup review.

The service carries more than 20,000 live channels and over 100,000 movies and series. The honest answer is that nobody watches 20,000 channels. What matters is whether your five or six favourites are stable at 9pm — which is why we send a trial first and ask you to test the channels you actually watch.

Often, yes. Send the channel name and country to our WhatsApp team. If it is available on the upstream feed we can usually add it, and if it is not we will tell you rather than promise something we cannot deliver.

Yes, on e& fibre and 5G home internet. No VPN is required. The eLife TV box and a third-party IPTV app can coexist on the same line, but each stream uses bandwidth, so a house watching two 4K streams needs more headroom.

Yes. du fibre works well for IPTV, and no VPN is needed. In buildings where many apartments share the same infrastructure, peak-hour congestion can affect stability; Ethernet and the 5GHz Wi-Fi band usually solve it.

No. The service is configured to work directly on e& and du. A VPN adds latency, reduces throughput and can make 4K worse. Turn it off on the TV device and test again before assuming the IPTV line is faulty.

Plan on 25–35 Mbps of stable throughput at the TV for one 4K stream. That is not the same as the headline speed at the router. Test on the TV itself, ideally over Ethernet, at 9pm.

It can, especially if your building has good 5G coverage. Latency is less consistent than fibre, so peak-hour sport may stutter. If you are on 5G, test during a live match before committing to a long plan.

Ethernet is better for the main TV, especially for 4K sport. If drilling is not possible, a powerline adapter or a mesh node near the TV is the next best option. A speed test beside the router does not prove the TV is getting that speed.

You buy a pack of credits at a wholesale rate. One credit activates one month on one line, so a 12-month subscription uses 12 credits. Your profit is the difference between your retail price and your credit cost. Larger packs lower the per-credit price.

Selling subscriptions is a commercial activity, and reselling television content can raise licensing questions that vary by country and by content. We provide a technical panel and wholesale activation, not a content licence or legal advice. Check the UAE requirements that apply to your business before you trade, and do not claim rights you do not hold.

Yes. You set your retail prices and communicate with your own customers. The panel is unbranded. We do not contact your customers or market to them.

No. You buy a credit pack when you need one. There is no monthly panel fee and no automatic top-up. If you stop selling, you stop buying credits.

You handle first-line support, which is usually device setup and playlist questions. If the issue is on the line or the upstream feed, escalate it to us on WhatsApp with the username and a short description. We will check the line and fix or replace it.

Yes. You can buy a larger pack at any time, and we will move your existing lines and balance to the higher tier. There is no penalty for starting small.

IPTV as a technology is legal and is used by telecom operators in the UAE. Whether a specific channel or service is licensed for distribution is a separate question, and UAE content and telecom rules are strict. Choose a provider that is transparent about what it sells, use the service lawfully, and do not use a VPN to hide activity that would break local law.

No. Payments are handled through the method agreed on WhatsApp; we do not store card numbers on this website. We keep your order details and support conversation only as long as needed to run the subscription and resolve issues.
