Installing is not watching at the same time
Many households want the living-room TV, a second screen upstairs, and sometimes a phone while travelling. Those are devices. A device is where the player is installed.
A screen, in a Service IPTV package, means a simultaneous stream — a connection in use at the same time — unless configuration says otherwise. Two TVs showing two different programmes need two screens.
How to choose
If only one person watches at a time, one screen can be enough even if the player is also installed on a tablet. If two rooms watch in parallel, move to several screens.
This rule avoids surprises when a second stream is refused. It says nothing about picture quality or channel count.
