Yes, one connection at a time means you can use it on upstairs device OR downstairs device OR smartphone but not on any two simultaneously.

You can put the app/player on as many android devices as you like but only ONE will be able to connect at once

Yes this applies to Iptv subscriptions as well. A lot of providers will say you need to pay per device but unless they are enforcing via MAC address you can use that on multiple devices as well. You will need multiple connections if you want to stream on multiple devices simultaneously though. Any one device will work with one connection.

Cheers I've been buying double connections past few years as provider kept telling me I needed a double but I never watch both devices simultaneously, Thank you

In that case, he's a thief, one connection/line will work on a dozen or two dozen devices provided they are only connecting one at a time

You live and you learn and at least you know moving forward and can inform others as well. Another thing some scummy providers do is restrict via user agent or ISP so it won't work unless you always watch at home for example. Not allowing VPNs is another red flag.

Yeah they started that thus year banning people if using it on different ISP when at that start that was a selling point like Netflix have done

You gotta start looking for a different one, some don't want you sharing accounts with others but there shouldn't be an issue if you are the one using it from home, work or on holidays. Shame more providers are doing this but they won't stop cause the alternative with Sky/TNT is much worse and expensive.
 
If supplier locks the Ip to one location then multiple devices is not an option.
You could bypass this with a dedicated ip on a vpn so it always shows the same IP. Not sure why suppliers are being so greedy if the user wants to watch it from a different device just let them!

Wrong again as usual 😏

Do you think a vpn only uses 1 Ip location for a certain country.

Simple question, did you get a good service from your last provider it sounds like you did. Not sure what cost you paid but it varies.

You're wrong, maybe you should read about dedicated STATIC IPs and other ways to bypass IP restrictions set by greedy providers still in the heydays of controlling and limiting access to each device or IP in the hopes of forcing people to buy a connection for every device. Plenty of other ways to get a Static IP but I'll let you look that up. 😏

I don't need to worry about this cat and mouse game anyway, plenty of excellent suppliers out there that aren't miserly and desperate to extract money from their customers.
 
So five firesticks and five smartphones in one house is ten locations?
Nah, they will have different internal IPs but the external IP will be the same and allow you to use any of the 10 devices in your house. Similarly you could VPN to your house to bypass this draconian restriction but then your connection would be limited by the upload speed of your home internet when trying to access it from work or a different location entirely. Why I suggested a dedicated static VPN IP if you must stick a supplier that enforces such unnecessary restrictions but it's better to just find a different one altogether that doesn't care.

You also have the option to have a Real Debrid account and use a VOD app with it.
Stremio is free and there is also Syncler and Weyd but they require a sub.
RD account is €32 a year and can be used on multiple devices and multiple locations but only one connection at a time no VPN required.
@HonestPrick is correct about Static IPs and they do work as mentioned.
I know plenty who use Static IPs and have many different uses.
If you ever decide to go the RD route then there is plenty of info on here and you will also get help if you ask.
