– Press *Menu* 3× quickly to trigger *Re-authenticate* in IPTV Smarters.
– If frame drops occur, reboot Apple TV 4K: *Hold Menu + Play/Pause for 8 seconds*.

## FAQ
### How do I confirm my Apple TV 4K is ready for 1080p60 F1 streaming?
Go to *Settings > Videos and Audio > Resolution* and select *Auto* or *1080p*. Then run a speed test (Settings > Network > Diagnose). You need ≥25 Mbps down and ≤20 ms latency for buffer-free Qualifying.
### Is same-day VOD included in the free trial?
Yes. Replays of all 2026 Monaco GP Qualifying and Race sessions appear by 10 PM ET on shadowstream.org’s VOD tab — no extra charge.
### What if I miss the live stream? Can I still watch after 10 PM ET?
Yes. VOD remains available for 72 hours on shadowstream.org. For longer access, upgrade to the 12-month plan — includes 30-day VOD retention.
### Can I use AirPlay or HDMI from another device?
Avoid AirPlay — it adds 12–18 seconds latency and triggers freeze. Use the native IPTV Smarters app directly on Apple TV 4K. If using HDMI, select *F1 TV* in the app first, *then* mirror — never mirror live TV directly.
