Setup guide

UHF is free to download. On a phone or laptop screen, HD feeds already look sharp; 4K only pays off on a 4K display. If it doesn't suit you, the 7-day money-back guarantee applies, and because plans are prepaid there's nothing to cancel later.

Prep, in four lines

  • Your login from WhatsApp: server URL (with port), username and password
  • Permission to open apps from identified developers, if the app comes from its own site
  • A 25 Mbps line handles one 4K stream comfortably; HD needs roughly 10 Mbps per screen

The setup, in order

  • Order on WhatsApp from the buy page. Your login details come back in the same chat, usually within a minute.
  • Get UHF from the Mac App Store or the developer's own site; if it arrives as a download, drag it into Applications.
  • Select Add user or Add playlist in UHF, choose Xtream Codes, and fill in the three fields from your login message: server URL with its port, username, password.
  • Wait for the first load to finish, open a channel to test it, and star the ones you watch most.

The first time you open it

Expect a short wait on first sign-in while UHF downloads the playlist and guide. Then you'll see channel groups by category and country; open one, highlight a channel, and the guide shows what's on now and next.

Troubleshooting

  • "Invalid credentials": retype the server URL with http:// and the port, and check capital letters; the username and password are case-sensitive.
  • Channels but no guide: refresh the EPG in UHF's settings, or give it a few minutes after the first sign-in.
  • Buffering on sports only: run a speed test on the iMac. Below about 25 Mbps, use the HD version of the channel.
  • Guide off by an hour or more: check the iMac's time zone first, then the EPG offset in UHF.

Tune it for the iMac

  • Keep VLC installed as a backup player for testing the stream.
  • Connect to a TV over HDMI for a bigger picture with the same app.
  • Turn on hardware acceleration in the player settings.
  • Guide refresh: set the EPG to update daily so listings never run out.

Can I use the same Ultra 8K IPTV login on the iMac and another device?

Yes. The login isn't tied to one device or one app. Up to 3 screens can play at once on one plan; on the 12-month length, two screens cost $200 in total instead of $125.

How long does it take to set up UHF on the iMac?

About five to ten minutes. WhatsApp delivers the login in about 60 seconds, the install takes a minute or two, and the first channel load another minute.

Do I have to pay for UHF on the iMac?

No. UHF is free to download. Your IPTV plan is the only cost, from $10.42 a month on the yearly option.

Can UHF play 4K on the iMac?

On a phone or laptop screen, HD feeds already look sharp; 4K only pays off on a 4K display. The channel also needs a 4K source and about 25 Mbps on your line.
