00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.120
A television, a tablet, a computer.

00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:04.620
Three devices at home: do you need to pay

00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:05.440
for three connections?

00:00:06.180 --> 00:00:08.020
To find out, look at what plays at the

00:00:08.020 --> 00:00:09.740
same time, on the same service.

00:00:10.220 --> 00:00:11.640
Imagine a fictional evening.

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:14.100
The television plays from seven until
eight.

00:00:14.440 --> 00:00:16.900
The tablet starts at seven thirty and
stops at

00:00:16.900 --> 00:00:20.200
eight thirty. For thirty minutes, two
programmes play together.

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.600
The computer starts at nine, after both
earlier streams

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:27.240
have stopped. The peak is two simultaneous
streams, even

00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:28.820
though three devices were used.

00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:30.740
Count each service separately.

00:00:31.220 --> 00:00:34.540
Two different subscriptions do not
automatically share one allowance.

00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:36.900
A profile organizes preferences.

00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.480
A licence activates an application under
its terms.

00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:42.680
Neither guarantees an extra stream.

00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:45.160
Check what your actual subscription
permits.

00:00:45.860 --> 00:00:49.060
Watch out for multiview too: several
channels on one

00:00:49.060 --> 00:00:51.000
screen may open several streams.

00:00:51.340 --> 00:00:54.100
Casting to a television and recording have
their own

00:00:54.100 --> 00:00:57.380
rules. Ask how your application and
provider count them.

00:00:57.380 --> 00:01:00.860
There is another distinction: two
permitted streams do not

00:01:00.860 --> 00:01:02.960
necessarily mean two permitted homes.

00:01:03.340 --> 00:01:05.640
Before watching at home and at the cottage
at

00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.760
the same time, confirm the location and
sharing rules.

00:01:09.300 --> 00:01:10.640
Does the second screen fail?

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:12.940
First, record the exact message.

00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:16.100
A stream-limit warning and a loading
screen call for

00:01:16.100 --> 00:01:19.560
different checks. Deliberately stop the
first stream, then test

00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.440
the second device using the service's
support instructions.

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.680
There is no universal delay for releasing
a session.

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:29.560
Finally, separate the account allowance
from network capacity.

00:01:29.940 --> 00:01:32.220
A faster router does not add a stream to

00:01:32.220 --> 00:01:35.280
your subscription. And permission for two
streams does not

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.660
guarantee good Wi-Fi in every room.

00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.520
Find the calculator and checks in the
OfficialOTT guide.

00:01:41.860 --> 00:01:45.200
Prepare four answers: how many streams at
once, which

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.060
devices, which locations, and which
features.

00:01:48.520 --> 00:01:51.120
Then test your everyday scenario before
paying.
