Understanding Basic Plan in North Macedonia
This guide includes Basic Plan for viewers in North Macedonia, using the figures that actually determine whether a stream holds steady.
Both plans include the EPG programme guide and setup help, so the choice is about streams and quality instead of about features being withheld. A wired run to the main screen removes the single largest variable, and it is useful trying even temporarily. A Basic package permits 2 simultaneous streams, and that number governs whether two people can watch different things at once.
Understanding Basic Package in North Macedonia
Picture quality follows bandwidth: around 12 Mbps per feed for the picture quality Basic delivers, ahead of every other demand on the line. Basic Plan covers how a television signal reaches a screen in North Macedonia over an internet link rather than an aerial or a dish. Nothing about Basic Package is settled by a single number, which is why this page keeps apart the connection figures and the options on the box. A package cannot repair a mesh node placed too far from the screen, and no headline speed compensates for a unit set to the wrong output mode.
Total cost, by term length
Work out the cost per screen: a Basic package supporting 2 simultaneous feeds divides differently for a family that watches together than for a single viewer. Basic at 3 months is 24.99 EUR, which is 8.33 EUR for each month of the term. Confirm the current price before ordering, as the figure that matters is the one quoted at the time of the order.
| 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 |
Getting the network right first
Contract speed and delivered speed are separate things: a shared building connection into the building says almost nothing about what arrives at the screen in the kitchen. If a second display is added for grandparents with one primary screen, recalculate from 12 Mbps upward and do not assume there is room.
Where wiring is impossible, shifting the router into the open generally helps more than replacing it, since a set-top box stacked on a hot amplifier costs more throughput than anyone anticipates. Each feed calls for around 12 Mbps to hold HD / Full HD without stumbling, and that figure is per stream rather than per household.
More than one screen
Add up the bandwidth before adding the display: three Full HD streams need about 24 to 36 Mbps between them. For a single viewer, the workable limit is typically reached at a Friday night instead of during the day. A device that is switched on but idle does not consume a stream; a device left paused mid-programme frequently takes one.
Getting the first feed running
Set aside about twenty minutes for a first setup, and considerably longer if the macOS needs a system update first. The order below is chosen on purpose: each step can be verified before the next one is attempted. Have the macOS in the games room switched on and connected before you start, and record its model number.
- Connect the Android TV in the games room to the network, using a cable if one can reach.
- Check that the display is set to a fixed output mode rather than automatic.
- Open the player application on the Android TV and enter the access details exactly as supplied.
- Let the programme guide finish loading before judging anything — a partial guide seems like a fault.
- Play one channel for ten full minutes without touching any options.
- Note the time and the result, then repeat the same test at a weekday evening.
Matching the unit to the games room
A Firestick is the straightforward choice for the home office, because it keeps the picture path short and avoids a second remote control. If you are replacing hardware anyway, choose the option with a wired network port — it removes a whole category of problem in one step.
Keep the device list to what you truly reach for; every extra box in the home office is one more item to maintain and another remote to lose. Older hardware tends to fail at the interface: menus become slow well before the image suffers.

Troubleshooting, by symptom
Work from the symptom instead of the hunch: the table below maps what you see to what is worth checking first. Change one thing at a time, and note what you changed — a fault fixed by three simultaneous changes will return unexplained. Almost every fault falls into one of a limited set of groups, and the symptom commonly points at which one.
| 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 TV; retest at a weekday evening |
| Everything is slow to respond, picture is fine | Unit interface, not the stream | Free storage on the Android TV; restart it fully |
| Works during the day, struggles in the evening | Shared connection congestion | Contrast the same channel twelve hours apart |
| One display works, another does not | Device or feed limit | Check whether 2 streams are already in use |
| Picture looks soft on a big display | Output mode or picture quality tier | Set a fixed output; confirm the plan covers HD / Full HD |
| Sound is out of step with the picture | Audio pass-through on the soundbar | Set the games room soundbar to pass-through rather than auto |
| Guide is empty or partly filled | Guide still loading, or wrong time zone | Wait for it to complete; confirm the device time zone |
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. Questions about compatibility for a particular Android TV are useful asking before ordering instead of after. Setup help is included on both plans, and it is most effective when the question carries specific details.
The two plans, side by side
A single viewer watching in the spare bedroom on one display rarely requires more than Basic provides. Raise the question in advance instead of after: the current device compatibility details are useful confirming for the exact Android Phone in the spare bedroom.
Longer terms reduce the monthly figure: Basic at 3 months comes to 8.33 EUR per month against 24.99 EUR for the entire term. For a shared flat with three tenants, the stream count generally settles matters before the picture quality tier does.
| 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 a licensed service can carry
Ask about current availability before ordering instead of relying on a list published at some earlier point. A licensed service carries only the content it is licensed to carry, which is why no honest page can promise a specific competition or channel. The same principle applies to on-demand material: what is included is a licensing question, not a technical one.
Frequently asked questions
The picture drops in the evening but not during the day. Why?
That pattern points at bandwidth instead of the plan or the device. A fault that appears only at a weekday evening is a bandwidth problem until proven otherwise. Almost every fault falls into one of a small number of categories, and the symptom commonly points at which one.
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. Questions about compatibility for a particular Android TV are useful asking before ordering instead of after. Record the Android TV model, the link type, the games room it sits in, and the exact time the fault appeared. A message that says what you already tried saves a round trip, as it eliminates the obvious suggestions from the conversation.
How much internet speed do I in practice need?
Allow for roughly five Mbps for each HD stream, eight to twelve for each Full HD stream, and approximately twenty-five for each 4K stream. A 4K feed is budgeted at approximately 25 Mbps, which is why the Basic plan carries the the majority of weight for households watching on a big screen in the games room. Test the same channel for ten minutes at a weekday evening and again twelve hours later — that gap distinguishes a device fault from network congestion.
Which device should I use in the games room?
The one already connected to the display is commonly the right answer, since it keeps the picture path short and eliminates an extra remote. If you are due to adjust the box, choose the option with a wired network port — it removes a whole category of fault in one step. Older hardware stumbles first over the menus: menus become slow well before the image suffers.
What is the difference between the two plans?
Basic covers HD and Full HD with two simultaneous streams. Raise the question in advance instead of after: the current unit compatibility details are useful confirming for the exact Android TV in the games room. A single viewer watching in the games room on one screen seldom pushes past Basic.
How long does the first setup take?
Allow approximately twenty minutes, and a good deal more if the Android TV has to update itself first. If a step fails, stop there rather than continuing — changing one option at a time is what keeps the diagnosis short. Setup moves quicker when the network is settled first, because a fault introduced at the network stage looks exactly like a fault in the plan.
What is included besides the channels?
Both plans come with the EPG programme guide and help during setup, and neither is charged separately. A single viewer watching in the games room on one screen seldom pushes past Basic. The plans differ in maximum sharpness and concurrent screens. They do not differ in the guide, the unit list, or the help available during setup.
Which channels are included?
Broadcasting rights are split across separate rights holders and differ from country to country and season to season, so a licensed service carries only what it is licensed to carry. A licensed service carries only the content it is licensed to carry, which is why no honest page can promise a specific competition or channel. The same principle applies to on-demand material: what is included is a licensing question, not a technical one. Ask about current availability before ordering rather than relying on a list published at some earlier point.
