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 10 of them with the whole family watching at once.

WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES A GOOD IPTV service
After 6 months and 12 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.
WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY REPLACING
Write down what you pay now — not what you think you pay, what leaves your account.
For most households I speak to it is a Sky or Virgin bill somewhere north of £90, a sports add-on, a streaming service that has raised its price twice, and one forgotten subscription.
Then write down what you genuinely watched last month. Almost nobody needs twenty thousand channels. The honest answer is usually eight to fifteen, and that gap between what you pay for and what you watch is the whole argument.
MY VERDICT AFTER 15 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, Subscribeip is the only one that never made us choose. Details, simultaneous-stream limits and pricing are at https://subscribeip.com, and there is a trial before you commit.
