Connection type
Ethernet beats Wi-Fi every time, and 5GHz Wi-Fi beats 2.4GHz. A $15 Ethernet adapter fixes more buffering complaints than any hardware upgrade.

What to Expect on Each Type of Hardware
Honest notes rather than a marketing checklist. Some platforms genuinely work better than others.
| Device | Install method | Max quality | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fire TV Stick 4K / 4K Max | Side-load via Downloader | 4K | Our most popular device. Follow the Fire TV walkthrough. Keep some storage free. |
| Fire TV Stick (HD models) | Side-load via Downloader | 1080p | Works well; older sticks benefit from clearing cache occasionally. |
| Android TV boxes | Direct APK install | 4K | Best all-round experience. Wired Ethernet where available. |
| Android phones & tablets | Direct APK install | 1080p+ | Handy for travel. Mobile data works but eats allowance quickly. |
| LG Smart TV (WebOS) | LG Content Store | 4K | No side-loading needed. Choose the app named exactly "Ibo Player". |
| Samsung Smart TV (Tizen) | Samsung Apps panel | 4K | Same process as LG. Older pre-2018 sets may not list the app. |
| Windows 10 / 11 PC | 64-bit installer | 4K | SmartScreen warning is expected; choose More info then Run anyway. |
| macOS (Intel & Apple silicon) | DMG to Applications | 4K | Approve the first launch under Privacy & Security. |
| MAG set-top boxes | Portal configuration | 1080p | Send us the MAC address and we configure the portal from our side. |
| iPhone & iPad | App Store | 1080p+ | Playlist activation still happens through the IBO management portal. |
Every plan on the pricing page works on every device listed above — hardware never changes what you pay.
The one rule
One Authorised Device Per Subscription
FanaStream ties each subscription to a single device. That is a deliberate design decision rather than an artificial cap: a dedicated session means your allocated bandwidth is never split, your credentials never collide with a second login, and picture quality stays predictable on a Sunday evening when the network is busiest.
Households who want two televisions served simply take two subscriptions. Both run completely independently at full quality, which in practice beats splitting one connection between screens.
- Switch your registered device any time — free, usually within the hour
- Travelling? Install IBO Player on your laptop and ask us to move the account across
- Never share credentials: shared accounts get flagged and suspended under our terms of service
Getting the best picture
Three Things That Matter More Than Your Device
Available speed
15 Mbps carries HD comfortably, 25 Mbps handles 4K. It is sustained speed that matters, not the headline number on your bill — run a test in the evening, not at 9am.
Free storage
Streaming sticks ship with very little space and slow badly when full. Clearing a couple of unused apps often resolves stutter that looks like a network problem.
Ready to install? Start with the IBO Player setup guide, or jump straight to the Fire TV Stick walkthrough if that is your device. The channel lineup shows what you will find once you are in.
