How many Kemo IPTV connections do you need?
You need one connection for every screen that will play Kemo IPTV at the same time. A single TV needs one. A couple who sometimes watch different things in different rooms needs two. A family with a living-room TV, a bedroom TV and a teenager on a phone needs three. Kemo SAT plans cover 1 to 5 devices.
Connections are about simultaneous playback, not about how many devices you own. This guide explains the difference, gives examples for different households, shows the internet speed each extra screen needs, and lists the real price of every option.
What counts as a connection?
A connection is one stream playing at a given moment. That's all.
- You can install the app and enter your login on as many devices as you like — the Firestick, the smart TV, two phones and a laptop.
- If your plan has two connections, any two of those can play at once. When a third starts, it shows "max connections reached" until one of the others stops.
- Pausing doesn't always free a connection; closing the stream or the app does.
- MAG boxes are the exception. Each MAG or portal-based Formuler box is registered by its MAC address and counts as a device on its own.
How do you choose the right number?
Think about the busiest moment of a typical week — Sunday afternoon, a big match, a weekday evening — and count the screens playing then.
| Household | Typical busiest moment | Connections |
|---|---|---|
| One person, one TV | One screen | 1 |
| Single viewer, TV + phone on the go | Rarely both at once | 1 |
| Couple, one main TV + occasional bedroom TV | Two screens on some evenings | 2 |
| Family, two TVs | Kids' channel + sport at the same time | 2–3 |
| Family, two TVs + teenager on phone/tablet | Three screens most evenings | 3 |
| Large household or shared house | Three to five screens | 4–5 |
| Two homes (e.g. holiday flat) | One screen in each | 2 |
If you're between two numbers, the cheaper choice is usually right: you can upgrade later, and the price difference between plans is visible on the pricing page.
How much does each extra connection cost?
Each additional connection costs less than the first. Here's the full price list in US dollars:
| Plan | 1 device | 2 devices | 3 devices | 4 devices | 5 devices |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 month | $13 | $20 | $27 | $34 | $41 |
| 3 months | $29 | $45 | $59 | $73 | $87 |
| 6 months | $49 | $74 | $99 | $119 | $139 |
| 12 months | $69 | $109 | $139 | $169 | $199 |
For example, on the 12-month plan, going from one to two devices adds $40 for the whole year, and three devices cost $70 more than one.
Is it cheaper to buy two single plans or one two-device plan?
One two-device plan is cheaper. Two separate one-month plans cost $26, while one month with two devices costs $20. Over twelve months the gap grows: two single 12-month plans would be $138, against $109 for one 12-month plan with two devices. One plan also means one login, one expiry date and one renewal.
What internet speed does each extra screen need?
Each screen needs its own bandwidth, measured on the device, at the same time:
| Quality | Per screen | 2 screens | 3 screens | 5 screens |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HD | 10 Mbps | 20 Mbps | 30 Mbps | 50 Mbps |
| Full HD | 20 Mbps | 40 Mbps | 60 Mbps | 100 Mbps |
| 4K | 25–30 Mbps | 55 Mbps | 85 Mbps | 140 Mbps |
Remember other household traffic — video calls, game downloads, phone backups — uses the same line. If you plan three or more Full HD screens, a fibre or cable connection of 100 Mbps or more is sensible. Our buffering guide covers Wi-Fi improvements that matter more than raw speed.
Can you change the number of connections later?
Yes. Message us with your order ID or username. We can add connections to your existing line — you pay the difference for the remaining time — or apply the new device count when you renew. Your login stays the same, so you don't need to set up your apps again.
What happens if you go over your connection limit?
The extra screen shows an error such as "max connections reached" and won't play until another stream stops. Nothing is charged automatically and your account isn't suspended for it.
Sharing your login with people outside your household so that more people watch than you've paid for is a different matter: it breaks the terms and can lead to the line being suspended. If friends or family want their own access, a separate plan or a higher device count is the right route.
Which plan length goes best with more devices?
Longer plans save more as you add devices, because the saving is calculated on a bigger monthly amount. With three devices, three months cost $59 instead of $81 month by month, and twelve months cost $139 instead of $324. The pricing page shows the exact percentage saved for every combination.
Summary
- One connection = one screen playing at the same moment.
- Install on as many devices as you like; the limit is simultaneous playback.
- Count the screens playing at your busiest moment: usually 1–3 for most homes.
- Extra connections cost less than the first; one multi-device plan beats several single plans.
- Budget 10–20 Mbps per screen and use Ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
