These are the published plan descriptions. Read them together with their availability wording and the specific questions below. They do not identify every included channel, guarantee a future event or describe the technical implementation of every feature.
The first practical step is to decide which benefits would change your viewing. Someone choosing Premium for an available 4K source has different checks from someone interested primarily in catch-up or player activation. A clear priority makes it easier to ask a useful question and compare the tier fairly with Standard.
What the 4K wording does and does not establish
“4K UHD available” means that 4K is part of the supplied Premium offering where available. It does not say that every channel, film or episode is delivered in 4K. A programme can have different versions, and a display’s own 4K badge does not confirm the resolution of a particular source.
Before choosing Premium for picture quality, identify the content you want and the device you intend to use. Ask whether the relevant source is available in the expected format and whether your player and display can use it. The 4K requirements guide provides a structured checklist without inventing a universal minimum speed for this service.
Do not add HDR, Dolby Vision, a particular frame rate or an audio format to the offer unless it is specifically confirmed. Those are separate technical details. A broad 4K label is not enough to settle all of them.
Read catalogue counts as broad descriptions
The published figures are 55k+ live TV channels and 240k+ movies and series. Those totals do not answer whether your particular UK channel, exact film version or requested season is currently present. Nor do they establish a particular language, subtitle track or archive of older programmes.
Create a short must-have list before asking about availability. Include exact titles and seasons where possible, and distinguish a live channel from an on-demand episode. A precise question can receive a precise answer; “does it have everything?” leaves too much undefined.
The channel availability guide and movies and series guide address those checks separately. This Premium overview does not publish an invented channel list or imply an affiliation with a broadcaster.
Keep player activation separate from the streaming term
The supplied benefit is Hot Player / IBO Lifetime Activation. The streaming term remains the duration you select: one, three, six or twelve months. The app-activation wording does not turn that term into lifetime access to live channels or on-demand content.
It also does not promise both named players together. Ask which player and activation arrangement apply to your exact device. If you expect to replace the television or streaming box, ask how that affects the activation before assuming it moves automatically.
A player is the software used to access and control playback. Device support, account access and content availability are related but separate questions. The compatibility hub helps you begin with the actual model and platform rather than choosing software by a similar-looking name.
Check sports, EPG and catch-up specifically
Premium Sports and PPV available is a general supplied benefit. If a particular match, competition or event is essential, ask about that exact event and date. The wording here does not guarantee every fixture, every broadcaster or a particular commentary feed.
Premium EPG & Catch-Up where available also includes a meaningful qualification. Programme listings and replay access are different functions. Seeing a programme listed in a guide does not, by itself, show that the programme can be replayed afterwards.
Use the EPG guide to understand listings and the catch-up guide for replay questions. Ask about the actual channels and programmes you use, including any time-window limits, rather than inferring a universal archive from the Premium name.
Understand the performance and support descriptions
Enhanced Peak Performance, Faster Content Updates and Anti-Freeze System are the supplied feature labels. This guide does not turn them into measured speed, uptime or interruption-free playback guarantees. No independent test result or service-level percentage is claimed here.
If you are trying to solve a problem, describe the problem first. An app that will not open, one unavailable title and simultaneous difficulty on every device are different observations. Choosing a tier solely from a performance phrase is less useful than checking whether the intended setup works for your needs.
Built-in VPN is also a listed benefit, but the label alone does not specify protocols, routing, logging or device-wide protection. The VPN guide explains the questions to ask. Similarly, 24/7 Support does not define a guaranteed response time; use the contact page with a clear description of your requirement.
Premium prices for every term and connection count
| Term | 1 connection | 2 connections | 3 connections | 4 connections | 5 connections |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 month | £19.99 | £29.99 | £39.99 | £49.99 | £59.99 |
| 3 months | £39.99 | £59.99 | £79.99 | £99.99 | £119.99 |
| 6 months | £49.99 | £79.99 | £99.99 | £119.99 | £139.99 |
| 12 months | £79.99 | £119.99 | £169.99 | £199.99 | £264.99 |
Tier, term and connections are independent decisions. Premium does not automatically mean five connections, and a longer term does not automatically increase the count. The connections guide explains how to count simultaneous streams.
For one connection, the monthly equivalents are £19.99 for one month, approximately £13.33 over three, £8.33 over six and £6.67 over twelve. Those figures divide the stated total by the term and round to two decimals. They do not establish monthly instalments or an automatic renewal arrangement.
Decide whether the additional benefits fit
Compare Standard and Premium with the same duration and count, then write down the specific difference you expect to use. If that is an available 4K source, confirm the source and setup. If it is catch-up, confirm the relevant programmes. If it is player activation, confirm the application and device arrangement.
If none of the additional benefits is relevant to your viewing, read the subscription comparison before deciding. The most expensive configuration is not automatically the most appropriate one. A suitable term and accurate connection count matter alongside the feature tier.
The selection information page explains the next available step. Following it does not place an order or charge a card. Use the trial information if you need to discuss an assessment of your actual device before making a commitment.
Premium questions
Does Premium make all content 4K?
No. The published wording is 4K UHD available. Check the particular source and the device, player and display path you intend to use.
Does lifetime activation mean a lifetime subscription?
No. It refers to the supplied player-activation benefit. Your content subscription still has the selected one, three, six or twelve-month term.
Are both Hot Player and IBO included together?
The supplied wording does not promise both applications together. Ask which activation arrangement applies to the intended device.
Does the annual price include five connections?
The annual price depends on the count. One connection is £79.99; five connections are £264.99. Check the selected configuration rather than treating a base price as universal.
Can I assume a specific VPN configuration?
No. The feature label does not describe its implementation. Ask about the exact protection and limitations relevant to your intended use.
