What a free trial actually tells you (and what it doesn't)

Published June 2026

A 3-day trial is the best test you'll get - if you use it right. Here's how to get real signal out of it, and the limits worth knowing up front.

Our trial is free, runs for 3 days, and doesn’t need a card. It’s the most honest test you can run - but only if you treat it like a real test instead of a quick glance. Here’s how to get the most out of it.

Test on the box you’ll actually use

A trial on your real receiver, your real network, and your real channels tells you far more than a demo on someone else’s setup. If it works here, a paid line on the same setup works the same way. Follow the setup guide for your box and get it running for real.

Watch what you actually watch

Don’t just confirm one channel decrypts. Flick through the channels you care about, at the times you’d normally watch - including the busy evening hours. That’s when a weak service shows its cracks.

Pay attention to zap speed

The thing you’ll live with daily is how fast channels respond when you switch. A trial is your chance to feel that before you commit. Slow, laggy zaps during the trial won’t get better after you pay.

The limits worth knowing

• It’s 3 days, and it expires hard. No extension, no exceptions. Plan to actually use it in that window.
• It’s capped at three trials per email. It’s there to prove the service to you, not to run indefinitely for free.

You keep the line you tested

Here’s the part that matters after the trial: when you buy, you renew the very same line you just tested - same credentials, same dedicated servers. We don’t move you to a different line after you pay, so what you tested is exactly what you keep.

What the trial can’t tell you

It can’t prove long-term stability - no three-day window can. What it can prove is the stuff that actually breaks most services: does it connect on your hardware, does it decrypt your channels, does it respond fast, and does support answer. If all four check out in 3 days, you’ve tested the things that matter.
