However the services are free! It is important to know what to expect. Does it cover what you want to watch? Check before you buy. Maybe you just want to find out what is out there. There are so many channels to choose from all over the world, don't forget some of them may be political propaganda or commercially biased.

Technical support should be available and a guarantee. If the supplier has been around for a while they are more likely to be a solid company with a good product.
