Step 2 — Complete Payment

After selecting your plan on the subscriptions page:

  1. Click the payment button
  2. Complete payment via the secure payment link
  3. Keep your WhatsApp available — your activation code is delivered there

Payment is processed securely and your subscription is activated immediately.

Step 3 — Receive Your Activation Code

Within minutes of payment confirmation, Tiger OTT sends your activation code via WhatsApp. This code is unique to your subscription and is what you enter in the Tiger OTT app to unlock your account.

Keep your activation code safe — you will need it if you reinstall the app or set up on a new device.

If you do not receive your code within 30 minutes, contact Tiger OTT support on WhatsApp and our team will resend it immediately.

  • Genre (Action, Drama, Comedy, Horror, etc.)
  • Language (Arabic, English, Hindi, French, etc.)
  • Year
  • Rating

Series

18,000+ TV series including current seasons and classic box sets. Organised by genre and language.

EPG (Electronic Programme Guide)

The EPG shows what is currently on and what is coming up on each channel. Use it to:

  • See the current programme on any channel
  • Plan your viewing schedule
  • Set reminders for upcoming shows

Step 6 — Optimise Your Settings

For the best Tiger OTT experience, adjust these settings after first launch:

Player Settings

  • Hardware decoding: Enable HW or HW+ for smoother playback
  • Buffer size: Set to Medium (or Large if you experience buffering)
  • Stream quality: Set to Auto initially, then manually select FHD or 4K if your connection supports it

EPG Settings

  • Update interval: Set to 24 hours
  • Time zone: Set to your local time zone for accurate programme times

Network Settings

  • Use Ethernet if possible — wired connections are significantly more stable than Wi-Fi
  • If using Wi-Fi, connect to 5 GHz rather than 2.4 GHz
