First launch

Getting started

Sign in to your provider, let Velo build its library, and learn the two buttons that drive everything on a remote.

Sign in

Velo is a player. It shows the channels, movies and series from an IPTV service you already subscribe to, so the first thing it needs is that service's login.

  1. 1
    Open Velo. The sign-in screen offers three ways in: type your provider's URL, username and password; paste an M3U playlist URL; or scan the QR code with your phone and fill the details in there with a real keyboard.

  2. 2
    Scanning the QR is the easiest on a TV. It opens a page on your phone, served by the TV itself over your Wi-Fi. Nothing leaves your network.

  3. 3
    Tap Send to TV. Velo verifies the details and signs in.

Getting things ready

On first sign-in Velo downloads your provider's full catalogue and program guide before letting you in, so nothing is missing later.

  1. 1
    The setup screen shows each content type filling in, with a countdown. Large providers take a few minutes. If something fails it offers Retry rather than dropping you into a half-built library.

Finding your way around

  1. 1
    Home shows your Continue Watching, Fresh Arrivals, New Episodes and favourites. The sidebar on the left holds Live TV, Movies, Series, Library, Favourites and Settings.

  2. 2
    Press Back to open the sidebar. Pressing left at the edge of a grid does not open it — Back does. This is the single most useful thing to know on a remote.

  3. 3
    Long-press OK on any tile for its menu: add to favourites, save for later, download, follow, and more. Almost every action in Velo lives behind a long-press.
