Which IPTV Problems Do We Fix Most Often?

Most of our day is spent helping people get IPTV working on their own screens. The same few faults come up again and again, and most take minutes to fix once you know where to look.
The server address starts with HTTPS instead of HTTP. This usually happens when the URL is pasted and autocorrect changes it.
The channel list looks out of date after setup. Reloading the playlist inside the app normally brings it back in line.
Streams fail on your home connection only. Switching to a mobile hotspot for a minute shows whether the fault sits with your network.
