Thank you for your response. Since I need the IPTV applications, those are the ones I installed, but unfortunately, they won’t open. First, I restarted the device, but nothing changed. Then, I reset the device to factory settings and reinstalled the applications, but still nothing.

Did your stick recently update to software version 14?  There appears to be a bug in the app that makes it incompatible with that version.
