Trex IPTV
Count screens, not people

Work out what your household actually needs

Most households buy IPTV in the wrong order. They find a figure, order, and then discover that two people wanted different things on different screens at eight o'clock on a Saturday. Settle the household question first and the buying part takes about four minutes.

Count screens, not people

The number that matters is how many screens could be running at the same time on your busiest evening, not how many people sleep in the house. A couple who watch together need one. A house where the kids have a bedroom TV and the football is on downstairs needs two, and a third if somebody is also propped up in the kitchen with a tablet during those same hours. Three screens at once means three lines, and three lines means three times the cost, so be realistic rather than generous with this number.

Then work out who watches what

Households split by taste far more often than they split by schedule. One person may only ever open the Arabic channels while somebody else wants the European football calendar and nothing else, and those are two different line-ups. Because that pair are usually watching in the same hours anyway, they were always going to need separate lines, which means each line can carry the line-up its viewer actually wants. Map the viewers before you map the money.

Decide how far ahead you can honestly see

Term length is the decision people rush and then regret in both directions. Longer terms bring the monthly cost down, so a settled household is simply paying less for the same television by committing further out. If you are between homes, or setting this up for a relative who might not take to it, the shortest term keeps everything reversible. A short term does not give you a smaller service, only a nearer decision.

Write down every screen before you order

Walk through the house once with the notes app open. Living room television, bedroom television, the tablet that lives on the kitchen counter, the laptop somebody uses for late films, the handset that goes on the commute. Half of those never run at the same time as the others, which is exactly why writing them all down is worth five minutes.

If you would rather see it done than read about it

Three households are counted out screen by screen on the worked examples page: a couple with one television, a family of five with split tastes and a three-screen evening, and a shared flat that empties in June. Most people recognise their own house in one of the three within a paragraph, and then the rest of this site is confirmation rather than homework.

Questions

How many lines does a family of four need?

It depends entirely on overlap, not on the number four. If the four of them watch together most evenings, one covers it. If two of them habitually disappear to separate rooms at the same time, that is two, and a teenager on a tablet during those hours makes three.

Can two people in the house share one set of details?

The same details can be installed on more than one device, but a line carries one stream at a time. So two people sharing works only while their viewing never overlaps, like an afternoon watcher and a shift worker at midnight. The moment both want a screen on a Friday evening, the second screen needs a line of its own.

Do all my lines have to use the same channel region?

No. Each one is set up with the line-up you ask for, so a household can run Europe & UK on the living room television and Arabic & MENA in the bedroom without any awkwardness.

What happens if I add a television in six months?

You buy a line for it at that point. It runs on its own dates rather than folding into the one you already have, which is worth knowing in advance if you would rather re-buy everything on a single day.

Worked out what you need?

Once you know how many screens and which line-ups, setting it up takes about a minute.
