Setup guide

MAC Media Player is a paid app; its fee goes to the developer, separately from your IPTV plan. Resolution depends on the screen: HD is plenty on a phone or laptop, and 4K is worth it only on a 4K monitor or TV. Ordering happens on WhatsApp, and the login usually lands in the chat within about 60 seconds.
