Circle FTP - 15.1.1.1, also reachable as new.circleftp.net - is the largest BDIX movie server by catalog, operated by Circle Network. Its live TV section is quieter than its movie wall, but it is there: a working set of Bangladeshi channels (plus international feeds when rights allow) that plays in a browser more often than on any other major server. This guide covers both routes.

Route 1: Browser (Circle’s specialty)
Most BDIX servers push live TV through IPTV players; Circle’s web interface often plays channels directly:
- Open
15.1.1.1in Chrome, Edge or Firefox on any BDIX-peering connection. - From the welcome page, open the Live TV section.
- Click a channel. Many play right in the browser tab; some open a raw stream link.
- For raw links: copy the URL, open VLC → Media → Open Network Stream → paste → Play. VLC handles every codec Circle throws.
No app, no playlist, no portal - this is the fastest channel-surfing path on BDIX, and the reason Circle’s TV keeps a following despite the smaller lineup.
Route 2: IPTV Player (where published)
When Circle publishes an M3U or XTREAM, the standard player flow applies:
- Get the playlist/portal details from the Circle FTP server page in the directory.
- Add them in TiviMate (Android TV), IPTV Smarters Pro (phones) or VLC (PC test) - exact steps per platform in the BDIX live TV guide.
- Save and open the Live TV category. The player’s list is the current truth.
What Is on Circle’s TV
Expect the Bangladeshi staples - news, sports, entertainment - with international feeds appearing and vanishing as rights shuffle. It is a smaller lineup than ICC’s, and this is worth internalising before troubleshooting: a channel that is simply not listed is not a failure of your setup. Check the ICC guide if breadth is what you are after; check Carnival if TV is your primary use.
Getting Set Up for the Long Run
Circle’s TV needs almost no maintenance, but three habits keep it trouble-free:
- Bookmark both addresses.
15.1.1.1andnew.circleftp.net- if the numeric address is mid-restructure, the name usually resolves, and vice versa. - Keep VLC installed on at least one device. It is the universal decoder ring: any channel that misbehaves in a browser or player usually plays clean in VLC from the same stream URL.
- Re-check the section after big sporting events. Lineups reshuffle most right after rights windows close - the server page tracks status so you are never guessing whether it is you or them.
And when you want the fuller TV experience - programme guides, favourites, channel groups - that is the moment to graduate from the browser to an IPTV player. The complete live TV guide and the player shortlist cover the upgrade path.
Troubleshooting Circle TV
The site opens, TV section is empty or channels error
Circle reshuffles its TV section regularly. Hard-refresh the page (Ctrl+F5) to bust the cached listing, try siblings of the dead channel, and re-check in an hour - section rebuilds are frequent and short.
A channel plays video but no audio (or vice versa)
Codec, not network. The browser player misses some audio codecs; VLC on the same stream URL plays both. If VLC also fails, the feed itself is half-down - again, try siblings.
15.1.1.1 will not open at all
Connection territory: VPNs off? On your own BDIX-peering line? Run the BDIX tester, confirm the address (the 15.l.1.1 letter-L typo is the most common), then check the server status. The full checklist covers the rest.
Everything stutters during a big match
Sports feeds concentrate hundreds of simultaneous viewers; brief congestion on the feed is normal at match time. Your line is innocent if the BDIX speed test is healthy at the same hour.
