Why restarting the app matters after a change

Updated 2026-10-31 · 1 min read

When we load your account, fix a list or renew your subscription, the app on your TV may still be showing what it loaded earlier. The simplest and most important step is to close it completely and open it again.

Why it works

Apps keep a copy of your channel list in memory so they start quickly. A change made on the server only appears when the app asks again. Closing the app clears that memory, and the next start fetches the fresh list.

The right way to restart

  1. Press the button that closes the app, or open the recent-apps view and swipe the app away.
  2. Wait a few seconds.
  3. Open the app again from the home screen.

Pressing Home only moves the app to the background. It is still running, so nothing is refreshed.

When a simple restart is not enough

When to tell us

If the app still looks wrong after a full restart, send us a photo of the screen. We check your account from our side and give the next step.

FAQ

I restarted and nothing changed. What next?

Use Reload inside the app, then restart the device. If it is still wrong, message us with a photo.

Does restarting delete my account?

No. Your account is stored with us, not only in the app.
