Quick answer: StreamHub TV combines live channel groups with a VOD-focused library of movies and series. Live content follows a schedule; VOD starts when you choose. Both use the same internet connection and compatible player, but their controls, buffering behavior and discovery experience are different.
Live TV and VOD at a glance
| Question | Live TV | Video on demand |
|---|---|---|
| When does it play? | At the current broadcast point | When you select a stored title |
| How do you browse? | Channel groups and EPG where available | Categories, search and title metadata |
| Best suited to | Sports, news and scheduled events | Movies, series and flexible household viewing |
| Pause and rewind | Depends on source and player features | Common, but still player-dependent |
| Sensitivity to short network changes | Often higher because the buffer is shorter | Often lower because more video can be buffered ahead |
Avoid assuming that every player supports the same controls. Test pause, resume, subtitles and episode order during the trial if those features matter to you.
Live channel organization
The advertised catalog contains 64,000+ live channels across packages. A useful player groups them so you do not have to scroll through one enormous list.
Typical groups include:
- Sports and live events
- Movies and general entertainment
- News and factual programming
- Family and children’s categories
- Music
- Country, region and language groups
- HD and 4K variants where available
Catalog counts include multiple regions and quality versions and should not be read as a promise that every viewer receives every channel. Availability varies by package, location and licensing.
What the EPG does
An electronic programme guide can show what is playing now, what comes next and scheduled information for supported channels. Guide data depends on the source and on how the player imports it.
If the EPG is empty:
- Check that the device date, time and time zone are correct.
- Let the initial channel and guide import finish.
- Refresh the EPG in the player.
- Restart the player after a large update.
- Ask support whether guide data is available for that channel group.
A VOD-first library
StreamHub TV advertises 150,000+ movies and series across its packages. A large number is useful only when search, categories, metadata and playback work well on your device.
During a trial, check:
- Whether the language and genre groups you want are easy to find
- Whether series episodes appear in the correct order
- Whether subtitles and audio choices work in your player
- Whether a title resumes after closing the app
- Whether search recognizes alternate or original-language titles
- Whether a stable HD version is available when 4K is unnecessary
Our large VOD library guide offers a complete evaluation checklist.
Quality and internet speed
| Target | Recommended available speed per stream | Good choice when |
|---|---|---|
| SD | 8 Mbps or more | Data or connection quality is limited |
| HD | 15 Mbps or more | You want the best balance of clarity and stability |
| 4K | Around 30 Mbps or more | The source, screen, player and network all support it |
Do not select quality based only on screen resolution. A consistent HD stream is better than a 4K stream your connection or device cannot sustain.
Watch on more than one screen
Plans are available for one to four simultaneous connections. One connection means one stream playing at that moment. You may keep player details on several compatible devices while staying within the purchased simultaneous limit.
For example, live sports on the television and a VOD series on a tablet use two connections at the same time. Check the full StreamHub TV price list before choosing.

Frequently asked questions
Does StreamHub TV include movies and series?
Yes. The service is VOD-focused and advertises a large movie and series catalog across packages. Specific availability varies by package, region and licensing.
Can I pause and rewind live channels?
That depends on the channel source and player features. Do not assume it is available everywhere; test it if it is important to you.
Why does VOD play smoothly when one live channel does not?
VOD can often buffer farther ahead, and a problem may affect only one live source. Compare another channel and another device before drawing a conclusion.
Can I search by language or region?
Most compatible players organize imported groups and provide search, but exact filters depend on the player. Ask support about the regional catalog you need.
