IPTV Customer FAQ
How do I get started with my subscription?
Once your payment is confirmed, we will deliver your credentials via email or WhatsApp. Simply download a recommended IPTV player app and enter your provided details to start streaming.
What devices are supported by IPTV Mercury?
We support a vast range of hardware including Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Sony), Amazon Fire TV Stick, Android Boxes, iOS/Android smartphones, Mag Boxes, and PC/Mac. Check our installation guide for details.
Which app should I use for streaming?
While many players work, we recommend testing a few to see which UI you prefer. Check our list of the top 5 IPTV apps for 2025 to find the best fit for your device.
Why is my service buffering or lagging?
Buffering is usually caused by internet speed fluctuations, Wi-Fi interference, or app cache. We recommend a minimum of 25 Mbps and using an Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi for 4K stability.
Can I use one subscription on multiple devices?
You can install the credentials on multiple devices, but simultaneous streaming depends on your chosen plan. Most standard plans support 1 connection at a time.
Do you offer a refund if I'm not happy?
Yes, under specific conditions. Requests must be made within 24 hours of purchase if our support team cannot fix a technical issue. Please review our full Refund Policy.
How do I refresh my channel list or EPG?
In most apps, you can find a "Refresh" or "Update" button in the settings. This force-syncs your playlist with our latest server updates.
Is a VPN required to use IPTV Mercury?
A VPN is not required but can be helpful if your ISP throttles high-bandwidth streaming or if you are traveling and want to maintain a consistent connection to our servers.
What should I do if I see a "Black Screen"?
Try switching the video player engine in your app settings (e.g., from Native to ExoPlayer or VLC). Also, ensure your subscription hasn't expired.
How long does activation take?
Activations are typically processed within 30 minutes to 2 hours during business hours. You will receive a confirmation message once your line is live.
Can I use the service while traveling?
Yes, our global infrastructure allows you to stream from anywhere in the world as long as you have a stable internet connection.
Do you provide Electronic Program Guide (EPG)?
Yes, we provide an automated EPG link with our subscriptions. Most modern apps will load this automatically to show current and upcoming show schedules.
How do I setup IPTV on my Firestick?
You'll need to allow "Apps from Unknown Sources" and use an app like 'Downloader' to install your chosen player. See our step-by-step Firestick guide.
Is the $9.99 1-month plan refundable?
Due to the low cost and administrative overhead, the 1-month plan is non-refundable once activated. We suggest testing our free trial first.
How can I renew my subscription?
Simply visit our products page and purchase the same plan. Our system will automatically extend your existing line if you provide your current username.
What is 'Catch-up' and how does it work?
Catch-up allows you to watch shows that aired in the past (usually 2-7 days). Look for a clock icon next to the channel name in your player app.
Does IPTV Mercury support 4K streaming?
Yes, we offer 4K, FHD, and HD versions of many channels. Note that 4K requires a very stable high-speed internet connection.
How do I change my password?
For security reasons, password changes must be requested through our support team via email or WhatsApp.
My EPG is not showing data. How to fix?
Clear the app cache, delete the EPG source in your app, and then re-add it. Sometimes a simple app restart is enough to trigger a sync.
Do you have a trial before I buy?
Absolutely. We offer a free limited trial so you can verify the quality and compatibility of our service with your setup.
What if a specific channel is down?
Our servers monitor channel status automatically. If a channel is down, our team is likely already working on a fix. You can report it to support for a status update.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. You only pay the subscription price shown on our website. There are no automatic rebilling or hidden charges.
How do I use parental controls?
Most IPTV apps have a built-in parental control section in their settings where you can set a PIN and lock specific categories or channels.
Can I use the service on my iPhone or iPad?
Yes. Install a compatible IPTV player from the App Store and use the credentials we provide to log in.
What is the best internet speed for IPTV?
We recommend at least 15 Mbps for HD and 30-50 Mbps for consistent 4K streaming without buffering issues.
Reseller Program FAQ
How does the IPTV Mercury Reseller program work?
As a reseller, you purchase "credits" from us at a wholesale price. You then use these credits to create and manage subscriptions for your own customers through a private dashboard.
Do I get a management panel?
Yes. All resellers receive access to an intuitive dashboard where they can create, extend, delete, and troubleshoot user accounts independently.
Can I offer free trials to my clients?
Yes, our reseller panel allows you to generate short-term trial accounts for your potential customers to test the service.
How are credits calculated?
Our credit system is straightforward. Usually, 1 credit equals a 1-month subscription, but longer durations or multi-device options may consume more credits accordingly.
Is there a minimum purchase to start?
Yes, we have a minimum initial credit purchase to join the program. This ensures we can provide high-level support and priority infrastructure to professional partners.
Who handles support for my customers?
As a reseller, you are the first point of contact for your clients. If you encounter a server-side issue you can't solve, our dedicated reseller support team is here to help you.
Can I brand the service as my own?
We offer white-label options. You can use your own brand name and logos. Contact our sales team for custom app branding services.
What happens if a customer wants a refund?
Refunds for your clients are handled by you. We do not refund credits once they have been used to activate a line, so we advise having a clear trial policy for your users.
How do I receive my reseller panel details?
After your first wholesale purchase, our team will manually set up your panel and send the login details and a training guide to your email within 24 hours.
Are there any territory restrictions?
No. You can sell our connectivity lines to customers globally. Our infrastructure is optimized for international performance.
How can I pay for more credits?
We accept various payment methods for credit top-ups, including Crypto and major credit cards. Contact support for the latest payment links.
What are my compliance responsibilities?
Resellers must ensure they operate in compliance with their local laws and protect their customers' privacy data. IPTV Mercury only provides the technical platform.
Can I upgrade from a basic to a premium reseller?
Yes. As your volume increases, you can move to higher tiers with lower cost-per-credit and advanced management features.
Do reseller credits expire?
Typically, credits stay in your account until you use them. We do not expire unused credits for active reseller accounts.
How do I get marketing materials?
Contact your account manager on Telegram or WhatsApp. We can provide generic logos and banners to help you get started.
Still have questions?
Our global support team is available 24/7 to help you with setup, billing, or reseller inquiries.
