An IPTV subscription gives you access to live TV, sport, movies and series over the internet for a fixed period. But what exactly is included? How do plans work? Is a 12-month plan really better value than a monthly one? And what happens after you pay?
This article answers all those questions clearly, using our own plans as a real example, so you know exactly what you are buying.

What is an IPTV subscription?
An IPTV subscription is access to an IPTV service for a set period — for example 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. When you subscribe, you receive a personal login (a username, a password and a server URL). You add that login to an IPTV player app on your device, and your channels, TV guide and on-demand library appear.
Unlike traditional TV packages, a good IPTV service has no contract, no installation and no box to rent. You pay once for the period you choose, and you can use it on the devices you already own.
What's included in an IPTV subscription
With IPTV Ireland, every plan includes exactly the same service:
- Live TV channels — Irish, UK and international, with a TV guide (EPG).
- Live sport in 4K, Full HD and HD.
- Movies and series on demand — a full library you can watch any time.
- Catch-up on many channels.
- One active connection — install on several devices, watch on one screen at a time.
- Instant activation and 24/7 support on WhatsApp.
Good to know: the channels, quality and features are the same on every plan. Longer plans are simply cheaper per month.
How IPTV subscription plans work
You choose a period and pay once. There is no automatic renewal: when your plan ends, you decide whether to renew. Here is how our plans compare:
| Plan | Price | Price per month | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 month | 14.99 € | 14.99 € | Trying the service for a full month |
| 3 months | 29.99 € | about 10 € | A season or a few months |
| 6 months | 44.99 € | about 7.50 € | Half a year of TV at a lower price |
| 12 months | 59.99 € | about 5 € | Best value for everyday viewers |

Which IPTV subscription plan should you choose?
Start with the free trial
Before choosing any plan, test the service for free for 30 minutes on your own device. If the picture is stable and the channels you want are there, you can subscribe with confidence.
Choose 1 month if you want to test longer
The monthly plan is ideal if you want to use the service in real life for a few weeks — evenings, weekends, big matches — before committing to a longer period.
Choose 3 or 6 months for a season
If you mainly watch during a sports season or the winter months, a 3 or 6-month plan gives you a lower monthly price without a long commitment.
Choose 12 months for the best value
If you watch TV every day, the 12-month plan works out at about 5 € per month — the cheapest way to enjoy the full service all year.
What happens after you subscribe
- Message us on WhatsApp with your chosen plan and your device.
- Confirm the payment method with our team.
- Receive your login — activation is instant, you get your details within minutes.
- Install your app with our IPTV setup guides and start watching. Most customers are watching within 10 minutes.
Renewal, upgrades and extra connections
Your plan does not renew automatically. Message us before your plan ends to renew or upgrade to a longer plan — your login stays the same, so there's nothing to reinstall. Need to watch on two screens at the same time? Ask our team about extra connections.
Payment, free trial and replacement policy
Payment options are confirmed with you on WhatsApp before activation: card, PayPal, Apple Pay, bank transfer or crypto. Because you can test everything with the free trial first, payments are non-refundable — but if you ever have a problem, we fix it or replace your line instantly, free of charge. Read our Refund & Replacement Policy for details.
