HOW MANY PLAYBACK DEVICES ARE ALLOWED?
A playback device is any paired mobile or tablet on which you can play Optus TV content.
You can only have up to 3 registered playback devices at any time for watching live
Subscription TV channels and Movie Box.
Optus TV will register your mobile or tablet the first time you play Subscription TV
or Movie Box on it. You can then register 2 more mobiles or tablets to have a total
of 3 playback devices for this type of content.

OPTUS TV REMOTE APP USER GUIDE > TROUBLESHOOTING
SWITCHING PLAYBACK DEVICES
You can switch playback devices if you already have 3 playback devices registered
and need to add a new device. If you try to watch Subscription TV or Movie Box on the
unregistered mobile or tablet, the app will prompt you to switch out an existing device.
There is a limit of 2 switches per calendar month and 10 switches per calendar year.
Figure 41: Playback Unavailable (maximum number of registered devices)
