One channel = one connection
Each unique channel your server pulls at the same time uses one Restream Connection.

IPTV Restream Connections Guide
A Restream Connection is one channel your server pulls from us at the same time — not one viewer. Use this guide to work out how many connections you need.
The rules in brief
Viewers share a pull
Your server pulls a channel once and serves it to its own viewers. More viewers on the same channel do not use more connections from us.
Extra pulls count
Pulling the same channel more than once — for example to separate servers or as a backup — uses one connection per pull.
Limits per package
Your package sets the maximum number of simultaneous connections. There are no unlimited packages.
Restream connections ≠ end viewers
50 Restream Connections Does Not Mean 50 Viewers
A restream connection is one simultaneous upstream channel stream your server pulls from us. Your server can then redistribute that stream to many of its own viewers.

40% of example plan capacity
Viewer capacity is not unlimited — it depends on your server bandwidth, hardware, configuration and lawful distribution rights. See our service terms.
200 viewers on 20 unique channels use 20 restream connections when your server pulls each channel once — 30 remain on a 50-connection example plan.

How many viewers your server can serve depends on your bandwidth, hardware, configuration and the distribution rights you hold — not on your connection count. Connections limit what you pull from us, not what your server delivers.
