Where to start with Premium Plan
A everyday look at Premium Plan in Serbia, written around measurable numbers instead of impressions.
Both plans include the EPG programme guide and setup help, so the choice is about screen count and sharpness instead of about features being withheld. Contract speed and delivered speed are two separate matters: a rural fixed link into the building says almost nothing about what arrives at the display in the household office. The useful way to think about Premium Package is as four separate parts: the connection into the home, the local network, the unit in the home office, and the plan itself.
Understanding Premium Package in Serbia
If you keep one habit from this page, take the habit of running the same ten-minute test twice — it turns a vague impression into something support can act on. The starting point in Serbia is normally a shared building link, and the difference between two households on the same contract nearly always begins indoors.
No part of Premium Plan is settled by a single number, which is why this page keeps apart the link figures from the device options. A Premium plan permits 5 simultaneous feeds, and that number determines whether two people can watch different things at once.
Getting the network right first
A 4K stream is budgeted at approximately 25 Mbps, which is why the Premium plan matters the majority of for households watching on a sizeable screen in the box room. Congestion is time-shaped: the same house that feeds 4K / Full HD effortlessly at noon can struggle at a Sunday evening when the entire street is online.
Each stream asks for around 25 Mbps to hold 4K / Full HD steadily, and that figure is per stream and not per property. Where wiring is impossible, moving the router out of a cupboard generally helps more than replacing it, since an HDMI cable older than the television costs more throughput than the majority of people expect.
Total cost, by term length
Prices are shown in EUR for the whole term instead of as a monthly figure, because the term is what is in practice purchased. For a couple sharing one television, contrast the total for the term against what the same period costs on the alternative package instead of the advertised monthly numbers. Calculate the cost per display: a Premium plan supporting 5 simultaneous streams divides differently for a couple sharing one television than for a single viewer.
| 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 |
Matching the device to the household office
A iPhone / iPad in the conservatory and a Apple TV elsewhere is a usual arrangement, and it works as long as the plan permits 5 simultaneous feeds. Keep the unit list to what you really reach for; every extra box in the conservatory is one more item to maintain and another remote to lose.
If you are replacing hardware anyway, choose the option with a wired network port — it removes a whole category of fault in one step. For a family that watches together, the thing that settles it is generally how many people need to start watching without help, which favours the device everyone already knows.

A working setup order
If a step fails, stop there rather than continuing — keeping a record of what was tried and when is what keeps the diagnosis short. Have the macOS in the box room switched on and connected before you start, and record its model number. The order below is deliberate: each step can be verified before the next one is attempted.
- Connect the Enigma2 in the household office to the network, using a cable if one can reach.
- Confirm that the screen is set to a fixed output mode rather than automatic.
- Open the player application on the Enigma2 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.
- Note the time and the result, then repeat the same test at a weekday evening.
- Only after both tests read the same should you change a picture or network setting.
Basic and Premium compared
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 package does not alter the local network, so upgrading will not fix a range extender halving the throughput.
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. 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 streams.
| 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 |
Picture quality, honestly
HD asks for around 5 Mbps per feed, Full HD between 8 and 12, and 4K around 25 — those are the numbers the arithmetic rests on. Set the screen to a fixed output instead of automatic, then judge quality — automatic switching hides the very fault you are trying to measure.
If the picture softens at the early morning but holds at other times, the cause is bandwidth rather than the package or the device. A larger display in the living room makes the gap between Full HD and 4K obvious; a display under about 43 inches makes it much harder to see.
A decision table for usual faults
A fault that turns up only at a Saturday afternoon is a bandwidth problem until proven otherwise. Work from the symptom instead of the hunch: the table below maps what you see to what is worth checking first. A problem that shows up on one Formuler but not on a Android Phone in the same living room is a device problem, not a network 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 Enigma2; retest at a weekday evening |
| Everything is slow to respond, picture is fine | Device interface, not the stream | Free storage on the Enigma2; restart it fully |
| Works during the day, struggles in the evening | Shared connection congestion | Compare the same channel twelve hours apart |
| One screen works, another does not | Unit or feed limit | Verify whether 5 feeds are already in use |
| Picture looks soft on a big display | Output mode or picture quality tier | Set a fixed output; confirm the package covers 4K / Full HD |
| Sound is out of step with the picture | Audio pass-through on the soundbar | Set the household office 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 device time zone |
Rights, explained plainly
A licensed service carries only the content it is licensed to carry, which is why no honest page can pledge a named event. Broadcasting rights are split across distinct rights holders, and they shift from country to country and season to season. Ask about current availability before ordering instead of trusting an older printed set.
Frequently asked questions
How many people can watch at the same time?
The answer comes from the plan and not the number of devices you own. If a stream stops when another begins, the stream limit has been reached — that is the package working as described, and not a defect. Simultaneous streams are tallied per package, rather than per box: Basic permits 2, Premium permits up to 5. For two flatmates who watch separately, the everyday limit is normally met at a weekday evening instead of during the day.
Do I need to change my router?
Seldom. Where wiring is impossible, shifting the router into the open generally helps more than replacing it, because a router placed inside a cupboard costs more throughput than most people expect. Contract speed and delivered speed are two separate matters: a rural fixed link into the building tells you very little about what arrives at the screen in the home office.
Does a longer term reduce the price?
Yes, and it is the only way the price changes. Premium at 24 months is 119.99 EUR, which is 5.00 EUR for each month of the term. There is no surcharge for the programme guide or for help during setup — both are included on either plan. Prices are shown in EUR for the entire term and not as an instalment, since the term is what is in practice purchased.
What is included besides the channels?
Both plans come with the EPG programme guide and help during setup, and neither is charged separately. The plans differ in quality ceiling and stream count. They do not differ in the guide, the device list, or the help available during setup. Ask before ordering rather than after: the current unit compatibility details are useful confirming for the exact Enigma2 in the home office. Longer terms reduce the monthly figure: Premium at 24 months comes to 5.00 EUR per month against 119.99 EUR for the whole term.
Can I watch on a Apple TV as well?
Yes, provided the stream count allows it. A unit that is powered up and waiting does not consume a stream; a unit left paused mid-programme frequently does. For two flatmates who watch separately, the everyday limit is commonly reached at a weekday evening rather than during the day.
Which channels are included?
Broadcasting rights are split across separate rights holders and vary by country and by season, so a licensed service carries only what it is licensed to carry. Channel availability in Serbia so is unlike what applies in other markets, and it can alter between one season and the next. Ask about current availability before ordering instead of trusting an older printed set.
