Reading for People Who Watch in More Than One Place

These articles exist because some questions are too long for a chat. Each one takes a question that keeps arriving, answers it in the first paragraph for anyone in a hurry, and then does the work underneath for anyone who wants it. Where an answer depends on your connection, your hardware or your country, the article says so rather than pretending there is one number that fits everybody.

Nothing here is a review round-up and nothing is a scoreboard. When a piece quotes a figure, the arithmetic behind it is on the page so you can run it against your own bill, your own allowance and your own evening.

If you have never run television over the internet before, two pages settle most of it faster than any article: the setup guides, which tell you whether the screen you have will cooperate, and the pricing table, which is priced by how many streams play at once rather than by how many devices you own. A trial line answers the rest in an evening.
