Check the service, player and device together
Use this checklist before paying for a live-TV service or a separate player licence. It helps you compare real compatibility and terms rather than promises.
- Confirm the service is authorised and available where you will watch.
- Check your TV, streaming box and app version against the service’s supported-device list.
- Ask how many simultaneous streams are permitted.
- Read renewal, cancellation and refund terms before paying.
- Test the programme guide, audio, subtitles and catch-up features you actually need.
- Use official installation instructions and avoid unfamiliar downloads or unnecessary permissions.
Keep the player purchase and subscription receipt separate: they are different products with different support teams.
