Press OK to confirm.
Step 6: Load Your IPTV Channels
Navigate to Kodi’s homepage and select TV.
Restart your device occasionally, as channels may not populate immediately!
Allow time for channels to load—duration depends on playlist size. (Large playlists may stall; ask your provider to optimize.)
That’s all there is to it!
