Before choosing a live TV subscription
Should I choose by channel count?
No. Confirm the exact channels, competitions and languages you use. A smaller relevant catalogue can be more useful than a large unverified number.
Does installing an IPTV app include channels?
Usually not. A player app and a content service are separate products. Check what the seller provides and whether the content is authorized in your region.
What should I test during a trial?
Test your main device during peak viewing time, channel switching, one live event, support response, simultaneous streams and the written renewal terms.
