What Premium Package in practice means
Here is what Premium Plan means in practice in Lithuania, separated into the link, the local network, the device and the plan.
Longer terms bring the per-month number down: Premium at 3 months comes to 12.00 EUR per month against 35.99 EUR for the entire term. Contract speed and delivered speed are distinct things: full-fibre into the building tells you very little about what reaches the display in the landing. Picture quality rests on bandwidth: about 25 Mbps per feed for the quality Premium delivers, ahead of every other demand on the line.
What Premium Package actually means
The useful way to think about Premium Package is as four separate parts: the link into the household, the local network, the device in the living room, and the package itself. Picture picture quality follows bandwidth: about 25 Mbps per stream for the quality Premium delivers, ahead of every other demand on the line. A Premium package permits 5 simultaneous streams, and that number determines whether two people can watch distinct things at once. Premium Package describes how a television signal reaches a display in Lithuania over an internet connection rather than an aerial or a dish.
Before you contact support
Note the Other model, the connection type, the conservatory it lives in, and the exact time the fault appeared. A message that says what you already tried saves a round trip, because it eliminates the obvious suggestions from the conversation. Questions about compatibility for a particular Other are useful asking before ordering instead of after.
Planning for grandparents with one main display
A second display in the dining room and a third elsewhere is roomy on Premium and close to the edge on Basic. A device that is powered up and waiting does not consume a feed; a unit left paused mid-programme frequently does. Simultaneous streams are counted per package, not per unit: Basic allows 2, Premium permits up to 5.
Getting the network right first
Contract speed and delivered speed are separate things: a copper line into the building tells you very little about what arrives at the screen in the attic room. A wired run to the primary screen eliminates the single largest variable, and it is useful attempting even as a short experiment. A 4K stream is calculated at about 25 Mbps, which is why the Premium plan carries the most weight for households watching on a big screen in the attic room. Test the same channel for ten minutes at the middle of the afternoon and again twelve hours later — the comparison separates a device fault from network congestion.
Basic and Premium compared
If you are unsure, take the brief option first and move up once you know how many screens are in practice running at a Friday night. The plans differ in maximum sharpness and concurrent screens. They do not differ in the guide, the device list, or the help available during setup.
Both plans include the EPG programme guide and setup help, so the choice is about streams and picture quality and not about anything held back. There are two plans. Basic covers HD and Full HD with 2 simultaneous streams; Premium covers 4K and Full HD with priority servers and up to 5 simultaneous feeds.
| 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 |
What it costs over the term
There is no separate charge for the programme guide or for help during setup — both are included on either plan. Confirm the current price before ordering, since the figure that matters is the one quoted at the time of the order. The per-month figure falls as the term lengthens, and that is the sole route by which the price changes.
| Term | Total for the term | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| 1 month | 15.99 EUR | 15.99 EUR |
| 3 months | 35.99 EUR | 12.00 EUR |
| 6 months | 45.99 EUR | 7.67 EUR |
| 12 months | 69.99 EUR | 5.83 EUR |
| 24 months | 119.99 EUR | 5.00 EUR |
| 36 months | 169.99 EUR | 4.72 EUR |
Choosing the unit
If you are due to alter the box, choose the option with a wired network port — that clears a family of faults in one step. Where a iPhone / iPad is already in place, adding a Firestick rarely improves the picture and generally adds a step to every viewing session. A iPhone / iPad in the attic room and a Firestick elsewhere is a familiar pairing, and it works as long as the package allows 5 simultaneous streams. Older hardware stumbles first over the menus: menus become slow well before the image suffers.

What a licensed service can carry
Broadcasting rights are split across separate rights holders, and they vary by country and by season. Ask about current availability before ordering instead of trusting an older printed set. Channel availability in Lithuania therefore differs from availability elsewhere, and it can adjust between one season and the next.
Frequently asked questions
Which device should I use in the landing?
The one already wired into the display is generally the right answer, since it keeps the picture path short and saves juggling two remotes. 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. Storage weighs lighter than assumed, but a unit with almost no free space turns erratic at a Friday night. Keep the device list to what you actually use; every extra box in the landing is one more item to maintain and another remote to lose.
Which channels are included?
Broadcasting rights are shared among distinct rights holders and vary by country and by season, so a licensed service carries only what it is licensed to carry. Channel availability in Lithuania consequently is unlike what applies in other markets, and it can change between one season and the next. The same principle applies to on-demand material: what is included is a licensing question, not a technical one. This page deliberately names no competition, package or broadcaster, because doing so would imply a licence that may not exist for Lithuania.
How many people can watch at the same time?
This is decided by the package and not the number of devices you own. A second screen in the landing and a third elsewhere is roomy on Premium and tight on Basic. Simultaneous streams are counted per package, not per unit: Basic allows 2, Premium allows up to 5. Add up the bandwidth before adding the display: three Full HD streams need around 24 to 36 Mbps between them.
What is included besides the channels?
Both plans include the EPG programme guide and help during setup, and neither is charged separately. Premium becomes the logical choice once a large display and a second or third simultaneous feed arrive together. Ask before ordering rather than after: the current unit compatibility details are useful confirming for the exact Android Phone in the landing.
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. Setup moves quicker when the network is settled first, as a fault introduced at the network stage is indistinguishable from a fault in the plan. Have the Android Phone in the landing switched on and connected before you start, and note its model number.
Does a longer term reduce the price?
Yes, and it is the only way the price changes. Work out the cost per display: a Premium plan supporting 5 simultaneous streams lands differently for grandparents with one main display than for a single viewer. Premium at 3 months is 35.99 EUR, which is 12.00 EUR for each month of the term. A shorter term costs more per month and commits less, which suits anyone still deciding how many screens they need.
How do I get help if setup does not go smoothly?
Setup help is included on both plans and is reached on WhatsApp at +33 7 56 75 79 66. A message that says what you already tried saves a round trip, as it eliminates the obvious suggestions from the conversation. Setup help is included on both plans, and it is the majority of effective when the question carries specific details.
How much internet speed do I actually require?
Allow for about five Mbps for each HD stream, eight to twelve for each Full HD stream, and close to twenty-five for each 4K stream. Contract speed and delivered speed are distinct things: full-fibre into the building says almost nothing about what arrives at the screen in the landing. Each feed needs around 25 Mbps to hold 4K / Full HD without stumbling, and that figure is per stream instead of per household.
