What IPTV actually means
Here is what IPTV means in practice in Lithuania, separated into the connection, the local network, the unit and the plan.
There are two plans. Basic includes HD and Full HD with 2 simultaneous feeds; Premium covers 4K and Full HD with priority servers and up to 5 simultaneous feeds. A 4K stream is budgeted at about 25 Mbps, which is why the Basic package carries the the majority of weight for households using a big panel in the landing. If you keep one habit from this page, take the habit of changing one option at a time — it turns a vague impression into something support can act on.
IPTV: the short version
A plan will not fix a router still on factory channel options, and no headline speed compensates for a device set to the wrong output mode. A Basic package allows 2 simultaneous feeds, and that number decides whether two people can watch distinct things at once. The majority of of the confusion around IPTV comes from treating those four as one thing, so a fault in the home office is charged to the plan. The starting point in Lithuania is normally full-fibre, and the gap between two households on the same contract is almost always the local network.
How to ask a useful question
Support is reached on WhatsApp at +33 7 56 75 79 66, and the same number handles ordering questions. If the fault turns up only at the school run hour, say so — timing is often the the majority of useful single detail. A message that says what you already tried saves a round trip, as it eliminates the obvious suggestions from the conversation.
The two plans, side by side
Premium becomes the logical choice once a sizeable display and a second or third simultaneous feed arrive together. There are two plans. Basic includes HD and Full HD with 2 simultaneous streams; Premium includes 4K and Full HD with priority servers and up to 5 simultaneous feeds.
For a household with a night-shift worker, the feed count generally settles matters before the quality tier does. Both plans include the EPG programme guide and setup help, so the choice is about streams and quality rather than about features being withheld.
| Term | Basic | Premium |
|---|---|---|
| 1 month | 13.99 EUR | 15.99 EUR |
| 3 months | 24.99 EUR | 35.99 EUR |
| 6 months | 35.99 EUR | 45.99 EUR |
| 12 months | 55.99 EUR | 69.99 EUR |
| 24 months | 99.99 EUR | 119.99 EUR |
| 36 months | 139.99 EUR | 169.99 EUR |
A working setup order
If a step fails, stay with it rather than continuing — keeping a note of what was tried and when is what keeps the diagnosis short. Set aside about twenty minutes for a first setup, and rather more if the Firestick needs a system update first. Setup moves quicker when the network is settled first, since a fault introduced at the network stage is indistinguishable from a fault in the plan.
- Connect the Android Phone in the landing to the network, using a cable if one can reach.
- Check that the screen is set to a fixed output mode rather than automatic.
- Open the player application on the Android Phone and enter the access details exactly as supplied.
- Let the programme guide finish loading before judging anything — a partial guide looks like a fault.
- Play one channel for ten full minutes without touching any options.
Getting the network right first
Test the same channel for ten minutes at a Sunday evening and again twelve hours later — the comparison separates a unit fault from network congestion. If a second screen is added for a household with a night-shift worker, add up again from 12 Mbps upward and do not assume there is room.
Each feed calls for about 12 Mbps to hold HD / Full HD steadily, and that figure is per feed and not per property. Two Full HD feeds running together come out somewhere near 16 to 24 Mbps before downloads, video calls or a games console enter the picture.
Picture quality settings that matter
The Basic package includes HD / Full HD, and the difference between quality tiers is visible chiefly on big panels at normal viewing distance. Judge picture quality on the same content twice instead of hopping between feeds, as source material varies more than the delivery does.
Set the display to a fixed output rather than automatic, then judge quality — automatic switching masks the effect. For a family of four, quality is regularly limited by the third simultaneous feed more than by one panel.
Matching the unit to the landing
A Apple TV in the living room and a Windows elsewhere is a familiar pairing, and it works as long as the plan allows 2 simultaneous feeds. Older hardware stumbles first over the menus: menus become slow long before the picture does. Where a Apple TV is already in place, adding a Windows rarely improves the picture and usually adds a step to every viewing session. For a family of four, the thing that settles it is generally how many people can begin a session unaided, which favours the unit everyone already knows.

Reading the symptoms
Work from the symptom instead of the hunch: the table below maps what you see to what is useful checking first. A fault that appears only at the early morning is a bandwidth fault until proven otherwise. Adjust one thing at a time, and record what you changed — a fault fixed by three simultaneous changes will return unexplained.
| What you see | Likely cause | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Picture freezes for a second, then continues | Short bandwidth dips | Try a wired run to the Android Phone; retest at a Sunday evening |
| Everything is slow to respond, picture is fine | Device interface, not the feed | Free storage on the Android Phone; restart it fully |
| Works during the day, struggles in the evening | Shared connection congestion | Contrast the same channel twelve hours apart |
| One screen works, another does not | Device or stream limit | Verify whether 2 feeds are already in use |
| Picture looks soft on a big screen | Output mode or quality tier | Set a fixed output; confirm the package covers HD / Full HD |
| Sound is out of step with the picture | Audio pass-through on the soundbar | Set the landing soundbar to pass-through instead of auto |
| Guide is empty or partly filled | Guide still loading, or wrong time zone | Wait for it to complete; confirm the unit time zone |
Prices for Lithuania
Basic at 6 months is 35.99 EUR, which is 6.00 EUR for each month of the term. A shorter term costs more per month and asks less up front, which suits anyone still deciding how many screens they need. There is no surcharge for the programme guide or for help during setup — both are included on either plan.
| Term | Total for the term | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| 1 month | 13.99 EUR | 13.99 EUR |
| 3 months | 24.99 EUR | 8.33 EUR |
| 6 months | 35.99 EUR | 6.00 EUR |
| 12 months | 55.99 EUR | 4.67 EUR |
| 24 months | 99.99 EUR | 4.17 EUR |
| 36 months | 139.99 EUR | 3.89 EUR |
Content and rights
Broadcasting rights are split across distinct rights holders, and they vary by country and by season. The same principle applies to on-demand material: what is included is a licensing question, rather than an engineering matter. This page purposely cites no competition, package or broadcaster, as doing so would imply a licence that may not exist for Lithuania.
Frequently asked questions
Does a longer term reduce the price?
Yes, and it is the only mechanism by which the price changes. Basic at 6 months is 35.99 EUR, which is 6.00 EUR for each month of the term. For grandparents with one main display, contrast the total for the term against what the same period costs on the alternative package instead of the advertised monthly numbers.
Which unit should I use in the landing?
The one already connected to the screen is generally the right answer, since it keeps the picture path short and avoids a second remote control. For grandparents with one main screen, the thing that settles it is generally how many people can begin a session unaided, which favours the unit everyone already knows. A Android Phone in the landing and a Other elsewhere is a familiar pairing, and it works as long as the plan allows 2 simultaneous streams.
What is included besides the channels?
Both plans include the EPG programme guide and help during setup, and neither is charged separately. Both plans include the EPG programme guide and setup help, so the choice is about screen count and sharpness and not about anything held back. The plans differ in quality ceiling and stream count. They do not differ in the guide, the unit list, or the help available during setup.
How much internet speed do I in practice need?
Allow for about five Mbps for each HD stream, eight to twelve for each Full HD feed, and about twenty-five for each 4K stream. Keep a record of the figures you measure, since changing one setting at a time is what makes a support conversation brief instead of endless. A wired run to the primary display removes the single largest variable, and it is worth attempting even temporarily.
How long does the first setup take?
Set aside around twenty minutes, and a good deal more if the Android Phone has to update itself first. Have the Android Phone in the landing powered up and on the network before you start, and record its model number. Setup moves quicker when the network is settled first, since a fault introduced at the network stage is indistinguishable from a fault in the plan.
What is the difference between the two plans?
Basic covers HD and Full HD with two simultaneous streams. Premium becomes the logical choice once a large display and a second or third simultaneous feed are both in play. If you are unsure, start with the shorter term and move up once you know how many screens are truly in use at a Sunday evening. Longer terms bring the per-month number down: Basic at 6 months comes to 6.00 EUR per month against 35.99 EUR for the entire term.
Can I watch on a Other as well?
Yes, provided the feed count allows it. Total the bandwidth before adding the screen: three Full HD feeds require around 24 to 36 Mbps between them. A second display in the landing and a third elsewhere is comfortable on Premium and close to the edge on Basic. If a feed stops when another begins, the feed limit has been reached — that is the package working as described, not a fault.
