The first question

Proof to request
Check the current time zone and whether the player successfully refreshed its guide. Ask for a current source page or written order summary, including the currency and any player activation fee.
The decision
Assuming an empty guide means the video stream is down. If the answer is unclear, use a trial or a shorter period before making a larger commitment.
What to do next
Open the relevant brand page and check the original supplier information before ordering. For a technical issue, write down the device, player, connection and one reproducible example. For a price question, ask for the full charge in the currency you will pay.

US device and account check
Check one programme against the local US time zone before changing the player guide offset. Make the test on the home connection and player that will be used after purchase. Write down the actual result, local time and plan period; the supplier can then answer a precise question instead of guessing from a screenshot.
Before paying, verify the present price, licensed content availability, number of simultaneous streams and support channel. If the answer depends on a feature of the app, distinguish the app licence from the subscription providing the stream. A short, documented trial is more useful than a large unverified channel count.
