In many homes, one person wants the game while another wants a movie. With IPTV, how many screens you can watch at the same time depends on your plan's connections.
Installs vs connections
- Installs: you can add your login to as many devices as you like—TV, phone, tablet, laptop.
- Connections: the number of streams that can play at the same time.
If your plan has one connection and two devices try to play at once, the second will usually be refused or the first will stop.
How to get more screens
Ask us about multi-connection options when you order. Tell us how many people watch at the same time at peak—usually evenings—and we'll suggest the right setup.
Internet for multiple streams
| Simultaneous screens | Recommended speed |
|---|---|
| 2 HD | 30+ Mbps |
| 1 × 4K + 1 HD | 40+ Mbps |
| 3 mixed | 60–100 Mbps |

Set up each TV
- Choose a device for each TV—see IPTV on several TVs.
- Install the same player on all of them for a familiar experience.
- Add your login to each.
- Use Ethernet on the main TV if possible.
Common questions about sharing
Subscriptions are for your household. Sharing your login with people outside your home can trigger connection errors for you and may break the terms of service. See account security.

Frequently asked questions
Why did my TV stop when my son started watching on his phone?
Your plan likely allows one connection at a time. Ask us about adding connections.
Can I watch on my phone outside the house?
Usually yes—it still counts as one connection while it's playing.
Do all devices need the same app?
No, but using the same app everywhere makes it easier for the family.
