Quick answer

Start with these three.

  1. Restart the stick: hold Select and Play/Pause for about five seconds, or go to Settings → My Fire TV → Restart.
  2. Check the internet: open another streaming app. If that fails too, restart the router.
  3. Clear the player’s cache: Settings → Applications → Manage Installed Applications, choose the player, then Clear cache.

Firestick questions

Firestick problems, answered.

Why did IPTV stop working on my Firestick?

The most common causes are an ended plan or demo, a Wi-Fi drop, a full cache or a Fire TV update. Work through the steps above.

How do I restart a Firestick?

Hold Select and Play/Pause together for about five seconds, or use Settings → My Fire TV → Restart.

Will clearing the cache delete my login?

Clearing cache usually keeps it. Clearing data removes it, so you would log in again.

Does an Ethernet adapter help?

Yes, if your router is close. A cable is steadier than Wi-Fi.
