General
10 questions
What is IPTV?
IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) delivers live TV channels and on-demand movies over your internet connection instead of a traditional cable or satellite signal. With ClarityTV you stream 25,000+ channels and 140,000+ movies and 18,000+ series directly to any device that has an internet connection.
What is ClarityTV?
ClarityTV is a premium Canadian IPTV service offering 25,000+ live channels, 140,000+ movies and 18,000+ TV series, and true 4K streaming with anti-freeze technology, Canada-optimized servers and 24/7 support.
Is ClarityTV available across all of Canada?
Yes. ClarityTV works anywhere in Canada with a stable internet connection — from Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver to Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Halifax and rural communities.
How is IPTV different from cable TV?
Cable TV sends a fixed broadcast signal through a coaxial line, while IPTV streams content over the internet on demand. IPTV offers far more channels, an on-demand library, the freedom to watch on any device and dramatically lower pricing than traditional Canadian cable providers.
How is IPTV different from satellite TV?
Satellite TV relies on a dish and is affected by weather, while ClarityTV streams over your existing internet with no hardware, no installation truck and no weather interference.
Do I need a special box to use ClarityTV?
No. ClarityTV runs on devices you likely already own — Amazon Firestick, Smart TVs, Android TV boxes, Apple TV, smartphones, tablets and computers. No proprietary hardware is required.
Is ClarityTV legal?
ClarityTV operates as a fully licensed and legally authorized streaming service. All content offered is provided under proper authorization.
How much can I save by switching from cable to IPTV?
Most Canadian households spend $80–$150 CAD per month on cable. ClarityTV plans work out to as low as $5.00 CAD/month on our 24 months + 6 free plan and $19.99 CAD for a single month if you want to try just one month, so the typical customer saves over $1,000 CAD per year while gaining far more channels and on-demand content.
Can I keep my Canadian local channels?
Yes. ClarityTV includes a comprehensive Canadian channel lineup such as CBC, CTV, Global, City, TSN, Sportsnet and regional networks alongside US, UK and international content.
Why choose ClarityTV over other IPTV providers?
ClarityTV combines Canada-optimized servers, anti-freeze technology, true 4K quality, one-time payments with no auto-renewal, a 7-day money-back guarantee and genuine 24/7 human support — a level of reliability and service most providers cannot match.

Streaming & Quality
10 questions
Will I experience buffering?
ClarityTV uses load-balanced servers and anti-freeze technology to minimize buffering. With a stable connection, playback is smooth even during peak hours.
What video quality can I expect?
Channels stream in 4K, Full HD and HD depending on the source, and adaptive bitrate automatically matches your connection for the clearest picture.
What is anti-freeze technology?
It is our combination of redundant servers, intelligent buffering and Canadian routing that prevents the freezing and stuttering common with lower-quality providers.
Why are your servers optimized for Canada?
We route traffic through Canadian data centres in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, reducing latency and giving faster channel changes for Canadian viewers.
Can I stream in 4K?
Yes, provided you have a 4K-capable device and at least 25 Mbps of bandwidth. Our 4K catalogue continues to expand.
Does ClarityTV work over Wi-Fi?
Yes. ClarityTV works on Wi-Fi, though a wired Ethernet connection or 5GHz Wi-Fi gives the most stable experience for 4K.
How much data does IPTV use?
HD streaming uses roughly 2–3 GB per hour and 4K around 7 GB per hour, so an unlimited or high-cap internet plan is recommended for heavy viewing.
What is your uptime?
ClarityTV maintains 99.9% uptime through redundant infrastructure across multiple data centres.
Can multiple people watch at the same time?
Every plan includes one connection (one simultaneous stream). If you need additional connections for another household member, contact our team on WhatsApp for options.
Does weather affect IPTV like satellite?
No. Because ClarityTV streams over the internet rather than a satellite dish, weather does not interrupt your service.
Billing & Plans

How much does ClarityTV cost?
Plans start at $19.99 CAD for 1 month and go down to as low as $5.00 CAD/month effective on our 24 months + 6 free plan ($149.99 CAD paid once for 30 months of service). Every plan is a one-time payment and includes the full channel and VOD library.

We offer 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, 12-month and 24-month plans. Each is a one-time payment — nothing renews automatically — and longer plans deliver the best monthly value.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Interac e-Transfer (very popular in Canada). All payments are one-time and processed over encrypted, PCI-compliant connections — nothing renews automatically.
Is checkout secure?
Yes. All payments are processed through encrypted, PCI-compliant payment gateways. We never store your full card details on our servers.

Do you offer discounts for longer plans?

No. Every ClarityTV plan is a one-time payment — no card is stored for future charges and nothing renews automatically. We simply send a friendly reminder before your plan ends so you can renew manually if you want to continue.
Troubleshooting
10 questions
What should I do if a channel keeps buffering?
First test your internet speed, restart your router and device, switch to a 5GHz or wired connection, and clear the app cache. If it persists, contact support and we will switch you to a faster server.
A channel is not loading — how do I fix it?
Restart the app, check other channels to confirm your connection, and refresh your playlist. Individual channels can occasionally go down at the source and are usually restored quickly.
My login is not working. What should I do?
Re-enter your credentials exactly as shown in your welcome email, watching for extra spaces. If it still fails, contact support and we will verify your account instantly.
Why is the picture quality low?
Low quality usually indicates limited bandwidth. Close other devices using the network, switch to a faster connection, and confirm your plan supports the resolution of your device.
The app crashes or freezes — what now?
Update the player app, clear its cache, restart your device, and reinstall if needed. Our support team can recommend the most stable app for your device.
How do I fix audio and video being out of sync?
Restart the stream, switch the decoder setting (hardware/software) in your player, or reboot the device. This typically resolves sync issues immediately.
The EPG / TV guide is empty. How do I fix it?
Refresh the EPG in your app settings or reload the playlist. The guide repopulates within a few minutes once refreshed.
Why does buffering happen only at night?
Evening peak hours strain local internet. Use a wired connection if possible, and ask support to move you to a less congested server during peak times.
My Firestick is slow — can I improve it?
Clear app cache, remove unused apps, restart the Firestick weekly, and use a 4K Firestick model for the smoothest performance.
What internet speed do I need to stop buffering?
Aim for at least 15 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K, with low latency. A wired connection eliminates most Wi-Fi-related buffering.
