How Many Devices Can You Use With an IPTV Subscription?

It's a common point of confusion: installing an IPTV player app on multiple devices is different from streaming on multiple devices at the same time. Here's how the two relate.

Installing vs. streaming simultaneously

You can typically install a player app and enter your login details on several devices — a phone, a Firestick, a laptop — without issue. What's limited is how many of those devices can stream at the same time.

What "connections" means

A plan's connection count refers to simultaneous streams. A single-connection plan means only one device can be actively streaming at once, even if your credentials are saved on several devices.

What happens if you exceed your limit

Attempting to stream on more devices at once than your plan allows typically results in one of the streams being interrupted or blocked until usage drops back within the limit.

Adding more connections

If your household needs to stream on multiple devices simultaneously, contact support to add extra connections to your plan. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.

Choosing the right plan

Think about how many people in your household are likely to stream at the same time, not just how many devices you own, when deciding whether you need additional connections.
