Choosing a Server on Android TV and Firestick

Introduction

The TV app server list is built for a remote: search, Auto (fastest), Servers vs Countries, and badges for P2P and offline nodes.

How to pick

1. From the home screen, highlight the location card and press OK.
2. Start typing a city in Search servers, or switch to Countries.
3. Press the circular arrow (top right) if pings are blank or everything says offline.
4. Avoid rows with may be offline — they are not answering. Choose a live city.
5. Star a server you use every night so it is easy to find.

Badges

• P2P — torrents allowed. Fine for general streaming too.
• NO P2P — do not use for file sharing (example: Malinois 1).
• 10GB — 10 Gbit node. Best for 4K on the TV.
• Auto (fastest) — lowest ping, which may not be the country your TV app wants.

For BBC iPlayer stay on a UK server even if ping is higher than a nearby EU node. For speed-only YouTube, Auto or a green-ping 10GB city is enough.
