BuzzTV box IPTV: Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| “Login failed” | Check the server URL (with http:// and port) and re-type the password. |
| Channels load slowly | Let the first load finish; later starts are much faster. |
| EPG empty | Refresh the guide from the server settings menu. |
| Buffering | Use the Ethernet port on the box. |
Still stuck? Check your speed with Speedtest (about 15–20 Mbps for HD), read IPTV internet speed, or message our UK support on WhatsApp.
