Do I Need a Separate Box for Each TV in My House?

This is a very common question. You have a TV in the living room, the bedroom, and the basement. Do you need to buy three separate subscriptions?

The short answer: You need one streaming device for each TV, but you only need one subscription with a "multi-connection" plan.

The 'One Box, One TV' Rule

An IPTV subscription doesn't magically appear on your TV. It needs to be loaded into a player app, which runs on a streaming device (like a Firestick, Apple TV, or Android Box).

Each TV needs its own streaming device to "tune in" to the service. You cannot stream to two TVs from one Firestick.

What is a 'Connection'?

A standard IPTV plan comes with one connection. This means you can be actively streaming on one device at a time.

You can install your login details on ten different devices, but you can only watch on one at a time. If you start streaming on your Firestick and then someone else starts watching on your smartphone, the Firestick stream will be "kicked off" or will stop working.

How to Watch on Multiple TVs (The 'Multi-Connection' Plan)

The solution is a "multi-connection" (or "multi-room") plan.

When you sign up, you can choose how many connections you need. A "2-connection" plan lets you watch on two devices at once. A "4-connection" plan lets you watch on four devices at once.

This is the perfect, cost-effective solution for a household. You pay a small extra fee to add more connections to your single account, which is much cheaper than buying multiple, separate subscriptions. You can see the options on our pricing page.

What Happens If I Use Too Many Connections?

If you have a 1-connection plan and try to log in on a second device, the server will refuse the connection. The most common result is that the first stream stops, and both devices get a connection error or buffering. Some providers may also temporarily lock your account for security.
