One of the most practical advantages of IPTV over traditional satellite TV is the ability to watch on multiple devices simultaneously — all from a single subscription. Here is exactly how it works and which PROTVHUB plan is right for your household.

For the best experience, use a trusted IPTV Subscription UK provider like PROTVHUB.

How IPTV Simultaneous Connections Work

An IPTV subscription includes a set number of "connections" — the number of simultaneous streams you can open at one time. This is different from the number of devices you can install the app on. You can install your IPTV app on ten devices, but only use connections up to your plan limit simultaneously.

Think of it like a streaming service: Netflix allows 2–4 simultaneous streams depending on plan. IPTV works the same way.

Setting Up IPTV on Multiple Devices

  1. Install your IPTV app on each device (TiviMate for Android TV, IPTV Smarters for phones and Smart TVs)
  2. Open the app on each device and enter your PROTVHUB credentials (same username and password on all devices)
  3. Each device will load the same channel list
  4. Stream simultaneously on up to your connection limit

Tip: If you travel frequently, install the app on your phone or tablet for watching IPTV away from home. Your mobile connection counts as one of your plan's connections, so factor this into your plan choice.

Which Plan Is Right for Your Household?

  • Single viewer: Monthly or quarterly plan (1–2 connections)
  • Couple / 2 TVs: 3-month or 6-month plan (2 connections)
  • Family with 2–3 TVs: Annual plan (3 connections) — best value per connection
  • Large family or multiple rooms: 24-month or Lifetime plan (5 connections)

All plans include access to all 26,000+ channels and 150,000+ VOD titles on every connected device. View all plans or start your free trial to test multi-device streaming before subscribing.
