Question about "Connections"

by -Trippy

When providers advertise "1 connection" or "2 connections" are they referring to the ability to watch simultaneously from different IP addresses? E.g two different locations? Or are they referring to two different devices from the same IP?

Also, if I want to watch on multiple devices but not at the same time e.g my stb is downstairs but when it gets late I want to watch on my TV upstairs, would this require more than 1 connection?

Thanks for any help.

One connection should be fine for different devices at different times. A few mac-based services are device locked so can only use on one device but relatively unusual.

What about access on mobile? Many support perfect player on android, so you might access that from anywhere in the world. I'd say the thing to do, is to check with your supplier, before trying on all devices.

2 connections means 2 concurrent streams. Whether that is over 1 IP address or more is provider specific

what they mean by two connections is that you can use their subscription on two different devices with unique MAC address, as long as you provide them a second MAC address.

usually, 2 devices 1 ip address
