1. A real free trial
A provider that trusts its service lets you test it first. Look for a trial of at least 24 hours that needs no card, so you can test in the evening, when the internet is busiest, and during a live match.
2. Support you can actually reach
Send a question before you buy and see how long the answer takes. A working email address and quick, clear replies matter more than any promise on the home page.
3. Works on your devices
Check that the provider supports what you own: Smart TV, Firestick, MAG box, Android, Apple. Good providers have written setup guides for each one.
4. The right number of connections
One connection means one screen at a time. If the kids watch cartoons while you watch the news, you need two. Compare the price for the number of screens you really use, not just the cheapest single-screen plan.
5. A clear refund policy
Look for a written guarantee for technical problems. If a provider has no refund terms at all, be careful with long plans.
6. Transparent prices
The price you see should be the price you pay: no activation fee, no surprise renewal. Longer plans are cheaper per month, but start shorter until you trust the service.
7. The channels you care about
A "20,000 channels" headline means little. Make a list of the five channels your family watches most, and check them during the trial.
8. Rights and transparency
Prefer a provider that tells you who it is, has a real website and contact details, and is authorized to offer its channels. Services that only sell through anonymous chat accounts tend to vanish without notice.

Common questions
How long should an IPTV free trial be?
At least 24 hours, so you can test in the evening and during a live event. SilyaTV's trial is 36 hours.
Should I buy a 12-month IPTV plan straight away?
Only once you trust the service. Start with a trial, then a short plan, then move to a longer, cheaper-per-month plan.
How many connections do I need?
One for each screen that watches at the same time.
