Tips for Best 4K

• For true 4K, we recommend a wired internet connection.
• Stripes in the image during sports (e.g., DAZN)? Turn on “Deinterlacing” in the player – some channels come as 1080i.

Your List, Your Countries

After setup, you can use the configurator to choose which countries are in your list, separated by channels and by movies and series. How it works.
