// FAQ
Why insist on "no credit card"?
Because a card-first trial turns into a subscription by inertia - reminder emails are conveniently easy to miss. A no-card trial ends by itself; nothing to cancel, nothing to dispute.
Is a money-back guarantee the same as a trial?
No. A guarantee means you pay first and ask for money back - a real trial never charges you. We keep the two apart; entries here have actual trials without card details.
What should I test during the trial?
The exact services and catalogs you watch, on the device you will actually use (ideally the Smart TV), at your usual peak time. IP registration is part of the setup - do it first.
