Understanding an IPTV package in Ukraine
A practical look at an IPTV plan in Ukraine, written around measurable numbers rather than impressions.
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. Each feed calls for around 25 Mbps to hold 4K / Full HD steadily, and that figure is per feed rather than per household. For a household with two teenagers, the question that matters is not which package is best in general, but which one fits the number of screens truly running at a weekday evening.
Understanding an IPTV plan in Ukraine
No part of an IPTV package is settled by a single number, which is why this page separates the link figures from the device settings. Picture quality rests on bandwidth: about 25 Mbps per feed for the quality Premium delivers, ahead of every other demand on the line. A clear way to think about an IPTV plan is as four independent pieces: the connection into the home, the local network, the device in the landing, and the plan itself. Nearly every misunderstanding around an IPTV package comes from treating those four as one thing, so a fault in the landing gets blamed on the plan.
The two plans, side by side
For a family that watches together, the stream count generally settles matters before the quality tier does. If you are unsure, start with the shorter term and move up once you know how many screens are really in use at a Friday night. Longer terms reduce the monthly figure: Premium at 6 months comes to 7.67 EUR per month against 45.99 EUR for the entire term. Nothing about the plan changes the local network, so upgrading will not fix a range extender halving the throughput.
| 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
Have the Android Phone in the garden room switched on and connected before you start, and note its model number. The order below is deliberate: each step can be verified before the next one is attempted. If a step fails, stop there instead of continuing — comparing a wired and a wireless run is what keeps the diagnosis short.
- Connect the Chromecast in the home office to the network, using a cable if one can reach.
- Confirm that the screen is set to a fixed output mode instead of automatic.
- Open the player application on the Chromecast 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.
- Only after both tests read the same should you alter a picture or network option.
Watching in a number of rooms
For a lodger with a second screen, the practical limit is normally met at the school run hour rather than during the day. Add up the bandwidth before adding the screen: three Full HD feeds need roughly 24 to 36 Mbps between them. Where several people watch independently, agreeing which screens matter at the school run hour avoids an upgrade that was never needed.
What support covers
If the fault turns up only at late at night, say so — timing is frequently the the majority of useful single detail. Support is reached on WhatsApp at +33 7 56 75 79 66, and the same number handles ordering questions. A message that says what you already tried saves a round trip, because it eliminates the obvious suggestions from the conversation.
Devices that suit Ukraine homes
Older hardware tends to fail at the interface: menus become slow long before the picture does. Confirm the output mode before faulting the feed: a display left on automatic can downscale 4K / Full HD without announcing it.
Storage matters less than people expect, but a device with almost no free space will behave unpredictably at a weekday evening. For two flatmates who watch separately, the thing that settles it is generally how many people can begin a session unaided, which favours the unit everyone already knows.

Total cost, by term length
There is no separate charge for the programme guide or for help during setup — both are included on either plan. Prices are shown in EUR for the whole term instead of as a monthly figure, since the term is what is in practice purchased. Premium at 6 months is 45.99 EUR, which is 7.67 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 |
Bandwidth, in real numbers
Contract speed and delivered speed are two separate matters: a mobile broadband router into the building tells you very little about what arrives at the screen in the living room. Two Full HD streams running together consequently sit somewhere near 16 to 24 Mbps before downloads, video calls or a games console enter the picture.
Congestion is time-shaped: the same house that streams 4K / Full HD without difficulty at noon can struggle at a wet Sunday when the whole street is online. A 4K stream is budgeted at about 25 Mbps, which is why the Premium package carries the most weight for households using a big panel in the living room.
What 4K / Full HD really requires
Audio obeys the same rule: a soundbar in the basement lounge requires its own pass-through option or it will quietly resample everything. The Premium package includes 4K / Full HD, and the difference between quality tiers is visible mainly on larger screens at normal viewing distance.
If the picture goes soft at the middle of the afternoon but holds at other times, the cause is bandwidth rather than the plan or the unit. Judge quality on the same content twice rather than across distinct channels, since source material varies more than the delivery does.
When something goes wrong
A problem that turns up only at a wet Sunday is a bandwidth issue until proven otherwise. A problem that shows up on one iPhone / iPad but not on a Formuler in the same box room is a device problem, rather than a network fault. Almost every fault falls into one of a small number of categories, 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 Chromecast; retest at a weekday evening |
| Everything is slow to respond, picture is fine | Unit interface, not the feed | Free storage on the Chromecast; 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 | Check whether 5 streams are already in use |
| Picture seems soft on a large screen | Output mode or quality tier | Set a fixed output; confirm the package includes 4K / Full HD |
| Sound is out of step with the picture | Audio pass-through on the soundbar | Set the home 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 |
Why channel lists differ by country
Ask about current availability before ordering instead of relying on a list published at some earlier point. Channel availability in Ukraine therefore differs from availability elsewhere, and it can change between one season and the next. This page purposely cites no competition, package or broadcaster, since doing so would imply a licence that may not exist for Ukraine.
Frequently asked questions
How much internet speed do I actually require?
Budget approximately five Mbps for each HD stream, eight to twelve for each Full HD stream, and approximately twenty-five for each 4K stream. 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 home office. Each stream asks for around 25 Mbps to hold 4K / Full HD without stumbling, and that figure is per feed and not per property. 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 unit should I use in the home office?
The one currently attached to the screen is typically the right answer, since it keeps the picture path short and avoids a second remote control. Keep the device list to what you genuinely reach for; every extra box in the home office is another thing to update and another remote to lose. A Chromecast in the household office and a Formuler elsewhere is a usual arrangement, and it works as long as the plan permits 5 simultaneous feeds. For a household with two teenagers, the deciding factor is generally how many people require to start watching without help, which favours the device everyone already knows.
The picture drops in the evening but not during the day. Why?
That pattern indicates bandwidth rather than the package or the device. Work from the symptom instead of from the guess: the table below maps what you see to what is worth checking first. A issue that appears on one Chromecast but not on a Formuler in the same household office is a device fault, instead of a network fault.
What is included besides the channels?
Both plans come with the EPG programme guide and help during setup, and neither is charged separately. Longer terms reduce the monthly figure: Premium at 6 months comes to 7.67 EUR per month against 45.99 EUR for the whole term. Premium becomes the logical choice once a large screen and a second or third simultaneous feed are both in play. Both plans include the EPG programme guide and setup help, so the choice is about feeds and quality and not about anything held back.
Does a longer term reduce the price?
Yes, and it is the only mechanism by which the price changes. Work out the cost per display: a Premium package supporting 5 simultaneous streams lands differently for a household with two teenagers than for a single viewer. Prices are shown in EUR for the entire term and not as an instalment, since the term is what is in fact purchased. Premium at 6 months is 45.99 EUR, which is 7.67 EUR for each month of the term.
Can I watch on a Formuler as well?
Yes, provided the feed count allows it. If a stream stops when another begins, the feed limit has been reached — that is the package working as described, and not a defect. Add up the bandwidth before adding the display: three Full HD streams require about 24 to 36 Mbps between them. A device that is switched on but idle does not consume a stream; a device left paused mid-programme frequently does.
