TVING's temporary benefits of streaming on up to four devices simultaneously and downloading up to 400 items per month will remain available through January 31, 2027. Starting February 1, the Ad-Supported Standard, Basic, and Standard subscription plans will return to their regular specifications. In particular, Basic will revert from four simultaneous devices to one, with video quality returning to standard definition, while Standard will return to two simultaneous devices.
If you currently share TVING with family members or friends, you should check how many people will still be able to watch simultaneously after these temporary benefits end. Monthly download limits will also vary by subscription plan, meaning you may not be able to maintain your current viewing habits without changing plans.
How Long Will TVING's Premium Viewing Benefits Last?
TVING's temporary premium viewing benefits apply from October 6, 2026, through January 31, 2027. They are available to subscribers of the Ad-Supported Standard, Basic, and Standard plans.
During this period, subscribers receive the following features regardless of their existing subscription tier:
Simultaneous streaming on up to 4 devices
Video quality of up to 4K
Up to 400 downloads per month
However, advertisements will continue to appear on the Ad-Supported Standard plan even while the temporary premium viewing benefits are active. Apple TV content is also excluded from these temporary benefits.
An important distinction is that TVING is not providing the Premium subscription itself for free. Instead, it is temporarily adding premium viewing features to existing subscription plans.
What Changes for Each Subscription Plan on February 1, 2027?
The biggest changes involve the number of devices that can stream simultaneously and the monthly download allowance. Once the temporary benefits end, each subscription plan will return to its standard specifications.
| Subscription plan | Current temporary benefits | From February 1, 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Ad-Supported Standard | 4 devices · 4K · 400 downloads | 2 devices · High Definition · 15 downloads |
| Basic | 4 devices · 4K · 400 downloads | 1 device · Standard Definition · 200 downloads |
| Standard | 4 devices · 4K · 400 downloads | 2 devices · High Definition · 300 downloads |
Download allowances are calculated monthly.

Ad-Supported Standard: Simultaneous Streaming Drops from 4 Devices to 2
When the temporary benefits end, the Ad-Supported Standard plan will allow simultaneous streaming on only two devices. Its monthly download allowance will also decrease from 400 to 15.
Subscribers who regularly download a large amount of content are likely to notice one of the biggest differences with this plan.
The standard plan specifications continue to include high-definition video quality, but advertisements will remain part of the viewing experience. Therefore, you should not assume that this plan is equivalent to other subscription tiers simply because of its simultaneous streaming limit.
Basic: Returns to 1 Device and Standard Definition
The Basic plan requires particular attention because of these changes.
Although Basic currently supports simultaneous streaming on up to four devices, it will return to its standard limit of one device starting February 1, 2027. Video quality will also revert to standard definition, and the monthly download allowance will decrease from 400 to 200.
For people who watch TVING alone, the simultaneous streaming restriction may not be particularly inconvenient. However, households in which family members or other residents watch different content at the same time will experience a change in how they can use the service.
Standard: 2 Simultaneous Devices and 300 Monthly Downloads
After the temporary benefits expire, the Standard plan will support simultaneous streaming on two devices and high-definition video quality. Its standard monthly download allowance will be 300.
The regular specifications may be sufficient if two people want to watch different programs simultaneously. However, if three or more people want to watch separate content at the same time, the standard Standard plan will not be sufficient.
Which Subscription Plan Should Families Choose for Shared Viewing?
The main considerations are the actual number of simultaneous viewers and whether you are willing to watch advertisements.
If you watch alone and frequently download content, Basic may be worth considering. If you want to watch simultaneously on two devices without advertisements, Standard is a basic option.
If keeping subscription costs down is your priority, you may consider Ad-Supported Standard, but you will need to accept advertisements and a limit of 15 downloads per month.
On the other hand, if three or more people regularly watch simultaneously, you should compare these plans with the Premium subscription, which supports simultaneous streaming on four devices as a standard feature.
Keeping a lower-tier subscription simply because it currently allows four simultaneous streams during the temporary benefit period could lead to significant differences in how you use TVING starting in February.
Will Your Subscription Be Automatically Canceled on February 1?
No. Only the temporary premium viewing benefits will end. This is separate from your subscription itself.
Once the temporary benefit period expires, your subscription will revert to the standard features associated with your existing plan. Therefore, changes to simultaneous streaming or video quality do not mean that you need to sign up for a new subscription.
If you intend to continue your subscription, it is worth checking the following:
1. Open the MY menu in TVING and check your current subscription plan.
2. Confirm your payment method and subscription tier.
3. Check how many devices your family members or friends actually use for simultaneous streaming.
4. Review your monthly download usage.
5. Determine whether your current plan will continue to provide the features you need after February 2027.
In particular, if you subscribed through a telecommunications company partnership or another payment channel, it is advisable to check the plan name and applicable changes displayed in your actual account.
Are Additional Accounts the Same as Four-Device Simultaneous Streaming?
No. TVING's additional account feature is a separate way of using the service. Each additional account provides simultaneous streaming on one device and one profile.
You should not assume that the four-device simultaneous streaming benefit under the temporary premium viewing feature is equivalent to the permissions provided by the additional account product.
The availability of advertisements on Ad-Supported Standard is also a separate matter. Improvements to video quality and simultaneous streaming capabilities do not automatically remove advertisements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Will TVING continue to support simultaneous streaming on four devices on February 1, 2027?
No. The temporary premium viewing benefits end on January 31, 2027. Starting February 1, Ad-Supported Standard will return to two devices, Basic to one device, and Standard to two devices.
Q. Will Basic also be reduced to 15 downloads per month starting in February?
No. Basic's standard download allowance is 200 per month. The 15-download limit applies to Ad-Supported Standard.
Q. How many downloads will Standard allow?
After the temporary benefits end, the standard monthly allowance will be 300 downloads.
Q. Will Ad-Supported Standard show more advertisements starting in February?
The expiration of these benefits does not introduce additional advertisements. Ad-Supported Standard continues to include advertisements even during the temporary premium viewing period, and its standard ad-supported conditions will remain in effect afterward.
Q. What should I do if I want to continue streaming on four devices simultaneously?
You should consider the Premium subscription, which supports simultaneous streaming on four devices as part of its standard specifications. However, you should check the actual subscription price and whether your existing partner-bundled subscription can be changed, as these details depend on how you originally subscribed.
The most important point about TVING's upcoming changes is that simultaneous streaming on four devices is not a permanent standard feature of every subscription plan. Basic subscribers, in particular, should remember that their plan will return to one simultaneous device and standard-definition video quality. Check your current subscription name and the number of people who actually watch simultaneously to determine whether your plan will continue to provide the features you need after February 2027.
