    What to Check Before Activation

    Before using the Activate App page, open IPTV ChannelMate and find the app-generated MAC address.

    Activation is tied to that MAC address, so enter it exactly as shown. If you are unsure where to find it, read our guide on finding your ChannelMate MAC address.

    What to Check Before Uploading a Playlist

    Before using the Upload Playlist page, make sure you have your own legally obtained M3U playlist URL or authorised Xtream Codes credentials.
