The Live TV (EZTube App) guide for certain channels is updated every day; once in the morning between 8am and 10am and lastly between 11am and 1pm.

***IF you don’t see the guide data in the middle of the quick menu. Two things, one make sure you are on a channel which is supposed to have the data, i.e. Bravo, as opposed to any channel in the special events category. ANY special/ticket/+ channel will NEVER have have guide data. Secondly, you must let the guide do its scan, if the tv seems a little sticky give the app a minute or two to get going. As the guide scans up in the right hand corner bring up the quick menu and surf left and right through the categories and guide data will appear.***

There will not be any instructions for the mobile app. We recommend that you just play around with it, like any other app on your phone.
You will always be subject to your mobile network connection or wifi connection. It’s an easy app to use. Just click around and you will figure it out.

If you are looking for help finding a sporting event click on this link to our website EZTUBE Sports Channel Guide and you will see options to choose a sport at the top, just scroll through to alternate channels.

*Sometimes the best way to fix a channel that just starts buffering after watching something, like a sports event, for a long period of time. Quickly change the channel to the next channel and quickly switch back.

Reconnecting HDMI
Pull the hdmi cord out of the shield and the tv, also pull the power cord on the shield and the tv. Do this in order, plug in the HDMI into the tv then the shield. Then plug in the power cord of the tv and then the shield. You should see the home screen now. ALWAYS take note of which HDMI port you put the shield into to make sure you put the correct input/source on the tv.

SECTION 2
When in doubt REBOOT EVERYTHING! (That includes your modem/router and the device that is being used by EZtube) That is rule #1 to resolve any problem. Unplug your stream device(s) from the power outlet. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Unplug your modem/router from the power outlet. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes.

After rebooting your modem/router be patient.

SECTION 6
CHECK THE BATTERIES IN YOUR REMOTE

You should always count to 45 before plugging any device or modem/router back in.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE INTERNET SPEED THAT YOU PAY FOR…
If we haven’t sent a message out that there is a service issue. The issue you are having is on your end. WE will do our best to help you after you have done these steps.

Most of the time when a channel is out IT IS REBOOTING ON THE PROVIDERS END. BE PATIENT THE CHANNEL WILL RETURN.

MOST, IF NOT ALL OF YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW TO CLEAR THE CACHE. YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW HOW TO GET INTO SETTINGS to ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK!

THE TEAM WILL ASK YOU IF YOU HAVE DONE ANY OF THESE BEFORE HELPING YOU.

SECTION 7
IF YOU HAVE LOST SOUND BUT STILL HAVE VIDEO, MOST LIKELY THE PROBLEM IS THE HDMI CORD. REMOVE THE POWER CORD FROM THE DEVICE AND THE TV, THEN THE HDMI CORDS, AND COUNT TO 45.

IN THIS ORDER PUT THE CORDS BACK IN… HDMI TO TV, HDMI TO DEVICE, POWER CORD TO DEVICE. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO DO THIS A COUPLE TIMES.
