Where to start
Every guide stands on its own. These four paths group them by where you are, from comparing offers to the end date.
Getting it on screen
Fire TV stick setup, Samsung, LG and Google TV sets and the M3U playlist link. Pick the one that matches the screen you will use most.
Watching every day
How the channel list is sorted, sport and match nights and two screens in two rooms. Handy once the login works and the evenings begin.
When the date comes round
Renewing a pass without a gap, and the four passes compared for the next order, perhaps a different length.
Worth remembering
Figures that come back from guide to guide
Four numbers you will meet again and again, worked out from the passes on sale and what a 4K picture needs.
25 Mb/s
The steady speed to allow for every screen showing 4K, measured on the device doing the playing. Full HD gets by on about 10.
Seven days
How far ahead the guide loaded by the Xtream login reaches, and roughly how far back catch-up goes on the channels that have it.
13p a day
The daily cost of Pass 12: £49 once, £4.08 a month.
2 minutes
The gap between payment and the message carrying your login, whatever the hour.
Method
How these guides are written
Each guide begins with a question people in Britain type into a search engine about an IPTV subscription, and sticks to it. When a point belongs to another guide, we link across instead of repeating it.
Menus are written up as they look on the devices at the time of writing. If a manufacturer moves a setting, we rewrite that paragraph and update the date shown under the guide’s title. Prices and dates are calculated from the passes on sale, never typed in by hand, so no guide can quote a figure the order button disagrees with.
We name devices and player apps because you need them to get set up, but never channels, competitions or streaming brands, and each app belongs to its maker. For the basics on any device, begin with the setup page. Seen a menu that no longer matches your screen? Let us know through the contact page and we will correct the guide.
- One question per guide
- Menus checked on real devices
- Figures calculated from the passes on sale
- UK time and pounds all the way through
