Setting Up French and English Channels
- Create two favourites lists: one for French channels, one for English.
- Set the app language to the main viewer’s preference.
- Use the TV guide to see what’s on in both languages.
- Check the French channels you care about most during the trial – line-ups differ between providers.

Hockey Night in Québec
Game nights put the most pressure on your connection. Restart your router before puck drop, keep the main TV on a wired connection and choose HD if 4K stutters. Which games you can watch depends on the channels in your provider’s line-up, so test them during the trial. See our game night guide.
Winter Tips
- Plug your router and TV into a surge protector.
- After a power cut, restart the modem first, then the router, then the TV.
- Keep the IPTV app on your phone as a backup screen.
- At the chalet, lower the quality on slower internet – see our cottage guide.
