Plans start at $24.99 for 1 month, and drop to $12.49/month if you purchase the 12-month package ($149.99 total). We also offer 3-month and 6-month tiers.

We do not issue credentials prior to payment, but we offer a strict 7-day money-back guarantee. If you aren't satisfied within the first week, we will issue a full refund.
13. Does my subscription automatically renew?
No. All plans are a one-time payment. We will email you reminders before expiration, but nothing is charged automatically.
14. What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Bitcoin, Litecoin, USDT, Cash App, Venmo, and major Credit/Debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay) processed securely via MoonPay.
15. Can I pay with a credit card?

16. Do you accept cryptocurrency directly?
Yes, paying with Bitcoin (On-chain or Lightning), Litecoin, or stablecoins is the fastest and most private way to activate your account.

Yes, all new subscriptions are backed by a 7-day no-questions-asked refund policy.

19. Are there any hidden fees or contracts?
No. There are no activation fees, cancellation fees, or long-term contracts. You only pay the flat rate of the package you choose.
20. Why does my credit card statement say "MoonPay"?
MoonPay is the authorized third-party exchange that processes your fiat (credit card) payment into crypto to pay for the IPTV service. Your statement will reflect MoonPay, not Apollo Group TV.
3. Compatible Devices & App Setup
21. What devices are compatible?
Apollo Group TV works on Amazon Firestick, Android TV, Apple TV, iOS (iPhone/iPad), Windows PCs, Macs, and most Android-based Smart TVs.
22. Is there an official Apollo Group TV app?
We provide a dedicated APK for Android/Fire OS devices. For Apple and other platforms, we provide login credentials that work seamlessly with popular third-party IPTV players.
23. How do I install it on an Amazon Firestick?
You must enable "Apps from Unknown Sources" in your Firestick settings, install the 'Downloader' app, and enter our specific shortcode to download the APK.
24. What is the Downloader code?
The official Downloader code for sideloading the Apollo Group TV APK on Firestick is 299336. You can also type apollogroup.tv directly.
25. Does it work on Android TV?
Yes, Android TV boxes (like Nvidia Shield or Google TV) are highly recommended. You can use the Downloader app to install our APK exactly as you would on a Firestick.
26. Can I watch on Apple TV or iOS?
Yes. Download an app like Startup Show, IPTVX, or Smarters Player from the Apple App Store, and input your Xtream Codes API login.
27. Does Apollo TV work on Roku?
Natively, no. Roku's closed ecosystem blocks IPTV applications. You must use screen mirroring from a phone, or preferably, purchase an inexpensive Amazon Firestick for your Roku TV.
28. Can I watch on a Windows PC or Mac?
Yes, you can watch via our web player portal directly in your browser, or use desktop software like VLC Media Player by importing your M3U link.
29. Does it work on Samsung or LG Smart TVs?
Yes. Download IBO Player or Smart IPTV from the TV's built-in app store, then upload your Apollo M3U link to the app's website portal.
30. Which 3rd party apps work best?
For live TV interface customization, many users prefer Tivimate Premium. For easy setup on Apple devices, Startup Show is highly recommended.
4. Login & Account Portal
31. How do I log in to the client portal?
Visit apollogrouptvtv.com/login and enter the email and password you created during checkout to access your billing and account dashboard.
32. What is the difference between Portal and App login?
The Portal login uses your email to manage your subscription. The App login uses system-generated Xtream Codes (Username/Password) to stream the content on your TV.
33. Where are my Xtream Codes API credentials?
Log into your Client Portal. Under your active subscription details, you will see your API Username, API Password, and Server URL.
34. What if I lose my portal password?
Click the "Forgot Password" link on the portal login screen. Enter your registered email to receive a secure reset link.
35. How many devices can watch at the same time?
Standard plans include up to 5 simultaneous device connections per account, allowing your whole household to watch different channels at once.
36. Can I use my account at a different house?
Yes. Your subscription is not IP-locked. You can use your account while traveling or at a second home, provided you do not exceed your simultaneous connection limit.
37. Where do I find my M3U playlist URL?
Your M3U URL is located in the Client Portal alongside your Xtream API credentials. It is used for apps like VLC or Smart IPTV that don't support API logins.
38. How do I change my streaming password?
For security reasons, Xtream API passwords are auto-generated. If you suspect your account is compromised, open a support ticket in the portal to have your streaming credentials rotated.
39. When will I receive my login details after paying?
Crypto and MoonPay payments usually process within 5 to 15 minutes. Once confirmed on the blockchain, your credentials are instantly emailed and visible in the portal.
40. Why does the app say "Invalid Login"?
Check for typos—passwords are case-sensitive. Ensure you are using the Xtream Codes username/password, NOT your billing email. If it still fails, your subscription may have expired.
5. Troubleshooting & Network
41. Why is my stream buffering?
Buffering is usually caused by home network congestion or ISP routing. Restart your router, use a hardwired Ethernet connection if possible, or try a different channel to rule out a source issue.
42. How fast does my internet need to be?
We recommend a stable connection of at least 15 Mbps for standard HD streaming, and 25 Mbps or higher for uninterrupted 4K streaming.
43. Do I need to use a VPN?
A VPN is not strictly required by us, but it is highly recommended if your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is throttling IPTV traffic or blocking specific servers.
44. What does "stream unavailable" mean?
This means the specific source for that channel is temporarily offline. Simply switch to a different channel; our systems usually detect and repair offline sources automatically.
45. Why is my TV guide (EPG) empty?
Guide data must be downloaded. Go to your app's settings and click "Update EPG" or "Refresh Guide". It may take a few minutes to populate the grid.
46. How do I clear the cache on my Firestick?
Go to Firestick Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications > Apollo TV > Force Stop, then click Clear Cache. Restart the app.
47. What does Playback Error 403 mean?
Error 403 indicates authentication failed. This means your subscription has expired, you reached your max device limit, or there is a typo in your server URL.
48. How do I update the Apollo TV app?
If prompted to update, follow the on-screen instructions. Alternatively, uninstall the old app and use the Downloader code 299336 to pull the latest version.
49. Is Apollo Group TV currently down?
Global outages are incredibly rare. If nothing is loading, test your internet connection, clear your app cache, or check your client portal for subscription status. If issues persist, check our support announcements.
50. How do I contact customer support?
Log into your Client Portal and navigate to the "Support Tickets" section to open a request. Our tech team typically responds in writing within a few hours.
6. Legal, Privacy & Security
51. Is Apollo Group TV legal to use?
Streaming media over the internet is lawful. However, users are responsible for ensuring they comply with their local broadcast regulations. Our policy is to only authorize properly licensed content and respond to valid DMCA requests.
52. Is it safe to enter my payment details?
Absolutely. We never process or store your credit card data on our servers. All fiat transactions are securely handled by MoonPay, a globally licensed financial entity.
53. Does Apollo collect my personal viewing data?
No. We respect your privacy. We only collect basic error logs for troubleshooting and session timestamps for billing purposes. We do not sell data to third-party advertisers.
54. Can my internet provider block the service?
Some major ISPs implement aggressive firewalls during large sporting events that can block IPTV servers. Changing your router's DNS to Google (8.8.8.8) or using a VPN easily bypasses this.
55. Do I need to provide ID to sign up?
No. We require only a valid email address to send your login credentials. If you pay via crypto, the transaction is entirely anonymous. (Note: MoonPay may require standard KYC for credit card processing).
