IPTV frequently asked questions

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) delivers live TV channels and on-demand video over your internet connection instead of cable, satellite or an antenna. You watch through a player app on a Smart TV, streaming stick, phone, tablet or computer. Our guide What is IPTV and how does it work? explains it in more detail.

Every plan includes live TV channels, an on-demand library of movies and series, and an electronic program guide for live channels. Streams play in 4K where the source is available in 4K, and in Full HD or HD otherwise. Line-ups change over time, so if a specific channel matters to you, ask us before you subscribe.

No. You need an internet connection and a device that can run an IPTV player app. Most people use a Smart TV, an Amazon Firestick, an Android device or an iPhone they already own. See the full list on our supported devices page.

The trade-off is that picture stability depends on your internet connection and home network. We compare them side by side in IPTV vs cable TV.

IPTV is a legitimate technology used by many broadcasters and internet providers. Whether a particular service is lawful depends on the rights it holds for the content it distributes and on the laws where you live, so check the rules that apply to you.

As a general guide, HD streaming works well from about 10 Mbps, Full HD from about 15–25 Mbps and 4K from about 25 Mbps or more, per device watching at the same time.
