Usually three fields: server URL, username and password. A playlist name, if requested, is simply a label you choose.
Option B
M3U playlist link
One long link in the player’s playlist or network-stream field. It can contain your account details, so keep the entire link private.
Before you settle in
Give your first stream a proper test.
Check the actual device, app and connection you plan to use. A short test at your usual viewing time tells you more than a list of compatibility badges.
Play live TV. Try a few channels, then an on-demand title.
Open the EPG. Check the player’s time zone if guide times look shifted. Listings vary by feed.
Try your screens together. If selecting more than one connection, test the number you need at the same time.
Platform sources & compatibility notes
Platform instructions reviewed October 16, 2026. These are general setup notes, not hands-on tests of every model or a promise that a particular player is available. App stores differ by country, device and software version; this applies in the US, UK and Canada.
Nova Star TV supplies subscription information; independent developers supply player apps. Player fees are separate. HD, UHD and 4K depend on the source and your setup; EPG and catch-up depend on the feed and compatible player.
A little help from a human
Not sure about your model?
Send the brand, exact model, player name and country. Support can check the right route before you choose a plan. Keep passwords and playlist links private.
