Once your Aloha4K subscription is ready, the next question is usually about the player. IBO Player Pro is the app we recommend for Fire TV Sticks and smart TVs, and it needs an activation for each device you install it on. We offer two options: 1 Year at $12 per device, or Lifetime at $25 per device. This guide explains what each one means, who each one suits and how to order without mixing anything up.

One point matters more than any other, so we will put it first: both options pay for the IBO Player Pro app activation only. Your IPTV subscription is a separate purchase with its own plan length and its own renewal date.

What You Are Actually Paying For

A player app is the software that turns your login details into live channels, movies and series on screen. The app does not include any channels by itself. Think of the two purchases like this:

  • The IPTV subscription gives you the content and the login details, either Xtream details or an M3U link.
  • The IBO Player Pro activation unlocks the player app on one specific TV or device.
  • Each part is paid for separately, and one does not extend or replace the other.

You can see both options side by side on our player apps page, which is always the most up-to-date place for prices.

Option 1: 1 Year for $12 per Device

The 1 Year activation covers one TV or device for one year. It is a sensible choice when you are not sure how long you will keep a particular screen, for example:

  • A Fire TV Stick you plan to swap for a newer model next season.
  • A spare TV in a guest room or college dorm that may not stay in the family.
  • A first try with IBO Player Pro before you commit to anything longer.

When the year ends, that device needs a new activation to keep using the app.

Option 2: Lifetime for $25 per Device

Lifetime is a one-time payment of $25 per device. You pay once, and the IBO Player Pro activation for that device never expires, so there is no yearly renewal for the player on that screen. It tends to suit:

  • The main living room TV where the family gathers for game day every weekend.
  • A smart TV you expect to keep for several years.
  • Anyone who would rather not keep track of another renewal date.

Keep in mind that Lifetime is tied to the device it was activated on. It is not a pass that moves around the house, and it does not include your IPTV subscription.

Quick Comparison

  • 1 Year: $12 per device, valid for one year on that device.
  • Lifetime: $25 per device, pay once and the activation for that device never expires.
  • Both: cover the IBO Player Pro app activation only, not the IPTV subscription.
  • Both: priced per device, so two TVs means two activations.

How to Choose for Each TV

You do not have to pick the same option for every screen, and many households mix them. Ask yourself three simple questions for each device:

  1. Will this device still be in use a year or two from now? If yes, Lifetime usually makes more sense.
  2. Is this a temporary or secondary screen? If yes, 1 Year keeps the cost low today.
  3. Is this device about to be replaced? If yes, consider waiting and activating the new one instead.

If you are setting up several screens, our guide to using IBO Player Pro on several TVs explains how per-device activation works in practice.

How to Order Your Activation

Ordering works the same way for both options. Exact screens and labels vary by app version and device, but the process looks like this:

  1. Install IBO Player Pro from the app store on your device and open it.
  2. Write down the device ID (MAC address) and key shown on screen when the app first opens.
  3. Message us on WhatsApp, say whether you want 1 Year or Lifetime, and send the device ID and key.
  4. Once the activation is confirmed, add your playlist with your Aloha4K Xtream details or M3U link.

Not sure where to find those two codes? Our article on the IBO Player Pro device ID and key covers it in detail.

Troubleshooting

I Paid for Lifetime but My Channels Stopped

Lifetime covers the player app, not the content. If channels stop loading, check whether your IPTV subscription has reached its end date. The player activation and the subscription run on separate schedules.

I Sent the Wrong Device ID

Codes are easy to misread on a TV screen, especially characters like O and 0. Contact us right away with a clear photo of the screen so we can check which device the activation should go to.

My Second TV Is Asking for Activation

That is expected. Each device has its own device ID and key and needs its own activation, at $12 or $25 per device.

General payment questions are covered in our refund policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Lifetime option include my IPTV subscription?

No. Lifetime is $25 per device for the IBO Player Pro activation only. Your IPTV subscription is separate and follows the plan you choose.

Is the price per account or per device?

Per device. Every TV, stick or phone you activate needs its own activation.

What happens when a 1 Year activation ends?

That device needs a new activation to keep using IBO Player Pro. Your IPTV subscription keeps its own end date.

Do I have to choose the same option for every TV?

No. You can pick 1 Year for one device and Lifetime for another.
