Before you start
What you need
Three things, and none of them is special hardware.
A steady connection
15 Mbps sustained for HD, 25 Mbps for 4K, 50 Mbps for 8K. Wired beats wireless whenever it is practical.
A compatible player
Any app that speaks M3U or Xtream Codes. Our guides name the ones we see work most reliably on each platform.
Your credentials
A server URL, username and password from your dashboard. Keep them private - they are the keys to your connections.
Some third-party TV player apps charge their own one-off activation fee. That fee goes to the
app developer and is separate from your Strong8K subscription - we never take a share of it.
