Understanding Premium Plan in Malta
Here is what Premium Plan means in practice in Malta, separated into the connection, the local network, the unit and the plan.
A single viewer watching in the spare bedroom on one display rarely requires more than Basic provides. Each feed asks for around 25 Mbps to hold 4K / Full HD without stumbling, and that figure is per feed and not per property. A clear way to think about Premium Plan is as four distinct layers: the connection into the household, the local network, the device in the spare bedroom, and the plan itself.
Where to start with Premium Plan
A Premium plan permits 5 simultaneous feeds, and that number governs whether two people can view separate programmes at the same time. For two flatmates who watch separately, the everyday question is not which plan is best in the abstract, but which one fits the number of screens genuinely running at the middle of the afternoon.
A package will not fix an HDMI cable older than the television, and no amount of bandwidth makes up for a unit set to the wrong output mode. If you keep one habit from this page, take the habit of recording the exact time a issue turns up — it turns a vague impression into something support can act on.
Watching in several rooms
Total the bandwidth before adding the screen: three Full HD feeds require about 24 to 36 Mbps between them. A second screen in the living 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.
Before you contact support
Record the Firestick model, the link type, the conservatory it lives in, and the exact time the issue appeared. 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 most effective when the question carries specific details.
Picture quality, honestly
Set the screen to a fixed output rather than automatic, then judge picture quality — automatic switching masks the effect. HD asks for approximately 5 Mbps per feed, Full HD between 8 and 12, and 4K approximately 25 — those are the numbers useful planning around.
Audio follows the same logic: a soundbar in the home office requires its own pass-through option or it will quietly resample everything. A larger display in the household office makes the gap between Full HD and 4K plain; a screen under about 43 inches makes it much harder to see.
A working setup order
Set aside about twenty minutes for a first setup, and considerably longer if the Android Phone requires a system update first. Have the Android Phone in the garden room switched on and connected before you start, and note its model number. Setup goes faster when the network is settled first, as a fault introduced at the network stage seems exactly like a fault in the package.
- Connect the Smart TV in the spare bedroom to the network, using a cable if one can reach.
- Confirm that the display is set to a fixed output mode rather than automatic.
- Open the player application on the Smart TV 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.
Which plan fits
Premium becomes the sensible choice once a sizeable screen and a second or third simultaneous feed are both in play. The package does not alter the local network, so upgrading cannot resolve a television set to automatic picture mode. There are two plans. Basic includes HD and Full HD with 2 simultaneous streams; Premium covers 4K and Full HD with priority servers and up to 5 simultaneous feeds. A single viewer watching in the garden room on one screen rarely requires more than Basic provides.

What runs well on which hardware
For a couple sharing one television, the deciding factor is commonly how many people require to start watching without help, which favours the device everyone already knows. Supported hardware includes Android TV, Smart TV, Firestick, MAG, Windows, macOS, and the everyday difference between them is interface speed more than image. Older hardware tends to fail at the interface: menus become slow long before the picture does. A Firestick in the box room and a Android Phone elsewhere is a familiar pairing, and it works as long as the plan allows 5 simultaneous feeds.

Working out the real monthly figure
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 when the order is placed. Premium at 12 months is 69.99 EUR, which is 5.83 EUR for each month of the term.
| 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 |
Content and rights
Channel availability in Malta therefore differs from availability elsewhere, and it can alter between one season and the next. Ask about current availability before ordering instead of trusting an older printed set. The same principle applies to on-demand material: what is included is a licensing question, not a technical one.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the two plans?
Basic includes HD and Full HD with two simultaneous streams. Nothing about the plan changes the local network, so upgrading will not fix a router placed inside a cupboard. There are two plans. Basic includes HD and Full HD with 2 simultaneous feeds; Premium includes 4K and Full HD with priority servers and up to 5 simultaneous feeds. Both plans include the EPG programme guide and setup help, so the choice is about feeds and quality rather than about features being withheld.
What is included besides the channels?
Both plans come with the EPG programme guide and help during setup, and neither is charged separately. Premium becomes the sensible choice once a large display and a second or third simultaneous stream arrive together. Longer terms bring the per-month number down: Premium at 12 months comes to 5.83 EUR per month against 69.99 EUR for the entire term.
Can I watch on a Chromecast as well?
Yes, provided the feed count allows it. A second display in the spare bedroom and a third elsewhere is roomy on Premium and tight on Basic. For a household with two teenagers, the workable limit is normally met at a bank holiday afternoon rather than during the day.
How long does the first setup take?
Budget around twenty minutes, and rather more if the Smart TV needs a system update first. The order below is chosen on purpose: each step can be verified before the next one is attempted. Setup moves quicker when the network is settled first, since a fault introduced at the network stage seems exactly like a fault in the plan. Allow about twenty minutes for a first setup, and considerably longer if the Smart TV needs a system update first.
Which unit should I use in the spare bedroom?
The one already wired into the display is most often the right answer, since it keeps the picture path short and saves juggling two remotes. If you are due to change the box, choose the option with a wired network port — it removes a whole category of problem in one step. Where a Smart TV is already in place, adding a Chromecast rarely improves the picture and commonly adds a step to every viewing session.
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. Support is reached on WhatsApp at +33 7 56 75 79 66, and the same number handles ordering questions. Setup help is included on both plans, and it is most effective when the question carries specific details. A message that says what you already tried saves a round trip, since it eliminates the obvious suggestions from the conversation.
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 spare bedroom and a third elsewhere is roomy on Premium and close to the edge on Basic. For a household with two teenagers, the practical limit is normally met at a bank holiday afternoon instead of during the day. Add up the bandwidth before adding the screen: three Full HD streams need about 24 to 36 Mbps between them.
