Counting connections without guessing
The honest test: picture 8pm on a Sunday in your own home. How many different screens are showing different things? That number is your plan.
| Household | Typical peak | Sensible plan |
|---|---|---|
| One person, one TV | 1 stream | 1 connection |
| Couple, one TV plus occasional bedroom viewing | 2 streams | 2 connections |
| Family, living room plus two bedrooms | 3 streams | 3 connections |
| Family with a sports Sunday habit and separate rooms | 4 streams | 4 connections |
| Large household or a shared property | 5 streams | 5 connections |

What running out of connections looks like
A stream that was closed by force-quitting an app can hold its slot briefly. Exit the player properly rather than pulling the plug on the device, and give it a minute before concluding the plan is too small.
- A second device shows an authorisation or "maximum connections" error while the first plays normally.
- One device drops to a black screen the moment another starts a channel.
- Playback works in the morning and fails only in the evening, when the rest of the household is watching.
- Restarting the router "fixes" it — because it interrupted the other stream, not because the network was the problem.
Questions people ask
What does 3 connections mean on an IPTV plan?
Three devices can stream at the same moment. You may set the account up on more devices than that; the limit is on simultaneous playback, not on installations.
Do two people watching one TV use two connections?
No. One screen playing one stream is one connection, however many people are in the room.
Can I upgrade the connection count mid-term?
Ask support before buying anything additional — the answer depends on how your current term was issued. Sizing correctly at purchase is cheaper than any upgrade path.
