How many connections do you need?
A connection is one stream playing at one moment. If two people in your household might watch different channels at the same time, you need two connections. Installing the player app on more devices than your limit is fine — the limit applies to simultaneous playback, not to how many devices are set up.
A rough guide
- One person, or a household that only ever watches together: one connection.
- A couple who sometimes watch different things: two connections.
- A family with a main television plus phones and tablets in use: three.
- Larger households, or a second property you also watch from: four or five.
Remember to check your broadband as well as the connection count. Each simultaneous HD stream needs roughly 8 Mbps and each 4K stream 25 Mbps or more, and those add together.
