It might be annoying to receive the message “Authorization failed for above host” when using the Smarters Pro IPTV app on your smart TV. This problem typically arises when the app is unable to connect to the IPTV service provider’s server or confirm your login credentials.
Here’s how to fix this frequent issue:
