How many simultaneous streams are allowed? I think it’s 20, right?

How many simultaneous streams are allowed? I think it's 20, right?

When I try to watch on more than 3 devices, I get an error saying that I've exceeded the maximum number of simultaneous streams outside the home. But this isn't correct, because I haven't actually gone over the limit. I just need 5 btw

Do I have to set a new home address everytime?

Does anyone know the detailed rules for how this part works? I guess I must be doing something wrong.

Thank you for your help, everybody.

What streaming device are you using? Who is your ISP? If you are receiving that message, it sounds like your device thinks you are not located in your home area. Possibly due to your ISP having your IP address defined outside your home base location.

I am using the Osprey box, I think now known as the Gemini box. 

My ISP is Cox Communications. 

Thanks a lot

Probably COX moving your IP address on your modem.

What network are you trying to watch? Some limit the number of streams for their channels. Fox limits its network streams to three. It's not a DirecTV limit.
