What we do in United States
A practical look at about in United States, written around measurable numbers instead of impressions.
A single viewer watching in the box room on one screen seldom pushes past Basic. Where wiring is impossible, moving the router out of a cupboard generally does more than replacing it, since a set-top box stacked on a hot amplifier costs more throughput than the majority of people expect. Most of the confusion around about comes from mixing those four together, so a fault in the box room gets blamed on the plan.
How we work
What is published instead is checkable: 12 Mbps per feed, 2 simultaneous streams on Basic, 99.99 EUR for 24 months. You will find no review scores on this site. Numbers we cannot stand behind are not worth publishing, so none appear. The approach is intentionally unadorned: real numbers, a short device list, and nothing that cannot be verified.
You will also find no promise of a named competition, since rights are split across licence holders and shift between seasons. If a figure here seems incorrect, tell us — a correction is cheaper than a complaint.
Support is handled on WhatsApp at +33 7 56 75 79 66, for both orders and setup. This service supplies IPTV subscriptions for domestic use in United States, on two plans and six term lengths.
What HD / Full HD really requires
For a lodger with a second display, quality is frequently limited by the third simultaneous feed more than by one panel. Sharpness controls on the television generally spoil the image, since they add edge artefacts to a signal that is compressed before it arrives. A larger display in the basement lounge makes the gap between Full HD and 4K obvious; a display under about 43 inches makes it much harder to see. Judge picture quality on the same content twice rather than across separate channels, since source material varies more than the delivery does.
Why channel lists differ by country
Broadcasting rights are divided between separate rights holders, and they shift from country to country and season to season. Ask about current availability before ordering instead of relying on a list published at some earlier point. Channel availability in United States so is unlike what applies in other markets, and it can change between one season and the next.
What it costs over the term
A shorter term costs more per month and asks less up front, which suits anyone still deciding how many screens they need. Prices are shown in EUR for the whole term and not as an instalment, since the term is what is in practice purchased. Basic at 24 months is 99.99 EUR, which is 4.17 EUR for each month of the term.
| 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
Keep a record of the figures you gauge, because writing down the model number before contacting support is what makes a support conversation short instead of circular. A wired run to the principal screen takes out the biggest unknown, and it is useful attempting even as a short experiment. Where wiring is impossible, shifting the router into the open generally helps more than replacing it, as a router still on factory channel options costs more throughput than most people expect. Each stream asks for roughly 12 Mbps to hold HD / Full HD steadily, and that figure is per stream and not per property.
Planning for grandparents with one primary display
For a lodger with a second display, the practical limit is typically reached at a Saturday afternoon rather than during the day. Simultaneous streams are counted per package, not per device: Basic permits 2, Premium allows up to 5. A unit that is powered up and waiting does not consume a stream; a unit left paused mid-programme frequently does.
Frequently asked questions
Do I require to change my router?
Not typically. A 4K feed is budgeted at approximately 25 Mbps, which is why the Basic plan matters most for households using a big panel in the box room. Test the same channel for ten minutes at the early morning and again twelve hours later — that gap distinguishes a unit fault from network congestion. If a second display is added for grandparents with one main screen, recalculate from 12 Mbps upward and do not assume there is room.
Which channels are included?
Broadcasting rights are divided between 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. This page purposely cites no competition, package or broadcaster, since doing so would imply a licence that may not exist for United States. Broadcasting rights are divided between different rights holders, and they vary by country and by season. The same principle applies to on-demand material: what is included is a licensing question, instead of an engineering matter.
Can I watch on a Android TV as well?
Yes, provided the stream count allows it. Simultaneous streams are tallied per plan, instead of per box: Basic allows 2, Premium allows up to 5. For grandparents with one principal display, the everyday limit is normally met at the early morning instead of during the day.
Does a longer term reduce the price?
Yes, and it is the only way the price changes. Confirm the current price before ordering, because the figure that matters is the one quoted when the order is placed. Work out the cost per display: a Basic plan supporting 2 simultaneous streams lands differently for grandparents with one principal display than for a single viewer. A shorter term costs more per month and asks less up front, which suits anyone still deciding how many screens they require.
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. 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, because it removes the obvious suggestions from the conversation. Questions about compatibility for a particular Chromecast are worth asking before ordering instead of after.
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 logical choice once a large screen and a second or third simultaneous stream are both in play. If you are unsure, start with the shorter term and move up once you know how many screens are in fact running at the early morning. The package does not alter the local network, so upgrading cannot resolve a set-top box stacked on a hot amplifier.
How long does the first setup take?
Budget around twenty minutes, and somewhat longer if the Chromecast is behind on updates. The order below is deliberate: each step can be verified before the next one is attempted. Set aside about twenty minutes for a first setup, and considerably longer if the Chromecast needs a system update first. Have the Chromecast in the box room powered up and on the network before you start, and record its model number.
