FAQ

Common Questions

What is IPTV?

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) is a way to watch live TV channels and on-demand movies over your internet connection instead of a cable or satellite line. With IP IPTV, you get 54,000+ Canadian and international channels streamed in up to 4K to any device — no dish, no cable box, no contract.

Is IPTV legal in Canada?

Yes — IPTV itself is completely legal in Canada. IPTV is simply a delivery technology, the same protocol used by Bell, Rogers and Telus for their own TV apps. IP IPTV provides the service and software; what you stream is your responsibility, and we recommend a VPN for privacy like any streaming user.

How do I pay for my IPTV subscription?

We accept Interac e-Transfer — the secure payment method trusted by every major Canadian bank. After you place your order we send simple e-Transfer instructions; once received, your subscription is activated and your login is emailed to you.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If your service can't be made to work on your setup, our refund policy covers you within the stated window. Because we offer a free trial first, the vast majority of customers know it works before they pay.
