A home-grown on-demand streaming rival to the Netflix behemoth, Stan packs a punch by offering a wide array of movies and TV shows for a wallet-friendly $10. That is, if you’re OK with SD. For HD, Stan costs $12/month. Or, you can spend $15 on their premium plan, which enables you to watch your favourite shows in 4K Ultra HD.
If you are one of the many people who simply cannot wait to watch Stan on their TVs, here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
1: Find a Compatible Device
First of all, you will need a compatible device. If you have a compatible Hisense, Sony, Samsung or LG Smart TV, you can stream Stan directly from your television. However, if you don’t, you can only stream Stan from a media streaming device to your TV. Stan can also be streamed from a variety of tablets, phones and computers via web browsers.
2: Get a Media Streaming Device
For a seamless experience, we suggest investing in a media streaming device, such as Apple TV, the new Telstra TV or Google Chromecast. Stan now has apps for Playstation and Xbox game consoles, as well. Or, you can get the Foxtel Now box, which allows you to watch Stan in style. These devices will allow you to stream Stan directly from your computer, phone or tablet to your television screen in HD.
3: Download the Stan App on Your Device
Obviously, to stream Stan from your compatible device, you will have to download the app first. If you are streaming from your computer (web browser), there is no need to download an app. However, if you are going to use an android or iOS device, follow these steps:
- Create your Stan account.
- Download the Stan app from the Apple Store for iOS devices and Google Store for Android devices.
- Initiate the Stan app.
- Log in to your Stan account using the appropriate details.
- Select from a wide selection of movies, TV shows and channels and play. As soon as you play a video, Stan instantly registers that particular device for you. Up to 6 devices can be registered per account, and you can use any 3 at the same time with the standard plan (great for families!)
Registering a device is standard across many viewing platforms, including the NRL Live Pass, Netflix, and Foxtel Now.
