Four people, four different programmes, one house. That is the real requirement nobody puts on a pricing page. Most IPTV service plans quietly allow one stream, and you only discover it when the second telly kills the first. I tested 5 of them with the whole family watching at once.

WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES A GOOD IPTV service
After 14 months and 8 providers, this is what I no longer compromise on.
It holds at peak times, not just on quiet afternoons.
The channels you genuinely watch, live and in HD — not twenty thousand dead entries.
Two or three simultaneous streams, so the household is not fighting over one.
A programme guide that matches reality. Check it against three channels; if the guide is wrong, the provider does not control the feed it is selling you.
Support that answers a real technical question within the hour.
THE WEEKEND I ACTUALLY TESTED THIS
I picked a full fixture list and ran four services side by side on four devices, same room, same connection.
By half time the pattern was obvious. Two held a clean 60fps picture all afternoon. One dropped to a soft, smeared image every time a match went to the break and everyone flipped channels at once. The fourth simply stopped and needed restarting.
That afternoon told me more than three months of reading comparison tables.
MY VERDICT AFTER 6 MONTHS WITH A FULL HOUSE
Three screens at once, every evening, no arguments. That is the benchmark here and it is the one most services quietly fail.
What made the difference: simultaneous streams, and a guide the kids can navigate without asking me.
What made none: the channel count. We use about a dozen.
With three screens running most evenings, Crownstream is the only one that never made us choose. Details, simultaneous-stream limits and pricing are at https://crownstream.co.uk, and there is a trial before you commit.
