- Enter the app link supplied by your provider, install the IPTV player and open it.

Live sport in Michigan
Sport is the main reason people in Michigan look at IPTV: fans follow Detroit Lions, Michigan Wolverines and Detroit Tigers, and a wide sports line-up means you can watch them without juggling several subscriptions.

Streaming quality on Xfinity and Spectrum
If your Xfinity service slows down in the evening, try a different DNS server and a wired connection first. If buffering continues only on live sport, tell support which channel and time it happened.
