The Premium Play offer
Before getting to the heart of this tutorial and seeing, together, how to activate Premium Play, I would say to thoroughly analyze the Premium Play offer and find out what content it includes in its versions for home and mobile devices.
- Premium Play On-Demand - it is included in all Mediaset Premium subscriptions and has no monthly cost. It gives access to a catalog of 10.000 titles including films, TV series, documentaries, cartoons and TV shows. It also supports HD content playback and offers the ability to watch original language content with subtitles. It is accessible from computers, enabled decoders with internet access, Smart TV, Xbox, Chromecast and Smart Cam.
- Premium Play Mobility - it is an option available for all Mediaset Premium subscriptions and costs 3 euros / month. It includes all the contents of Premium Play On-Demand, plus 20 Mediaset Premium channels to watch in live streaming. It can be used from smartphones, tablets, computers, enabled decoders, Smart TVs, Xbox, Chromecast and Smart Cams, but live channels are only available on PCs, smartphones and tablets. To underline the presence of the “Download & Play” function which, only on smartphones and tablets, allows you to download content locally to view them offline.
The contents that can be viewed in Premium Play are linked to the contents included in the Mediaset Premium subscription. This means that if, for example, you do not have the TV series in your Mediaset Premium subscription, you cannot access the TV series on Premium Play.
If you are not yet a Mediaset Premium subscriber and want to find out what the Offers more interesting for this well-known pay TV service, see my article on Premium offers or visit the Premium website directly.

You bought one Premium Smart Cam but were you unable to activate it correctly? No problem. This is an extremely simple operation. All you have to do is insert the Smart Cam into the CI + slot of your TV (you can check the compatibility of your TV with Premium Smart Cam by connecting to this web page), insert your Premium card into the CAM and tune into a Mediaset Premium channel. .

Manage devices connected to Premium Play
Have you regularly activated Premium Play but, when you try to start watching content from your smartphone or tablet, you get an error message telling you that you have exceeded the limit of devices enabled on your account? Don't panic.
Premium Play allows you to have a maximum number of 5 devices associated with your account (up to a maximum of 10 devices per year) and allows viewing from only one device at a time. If you see an error message when you try to log in from a new device, it means that you have exceeded the maximum number of devices that can be associated with your account.
To solve the problem and activate Premium Play on your new device, you need to access your account management panel and remove the devices you no longer use (in order to make room for the new device). To manage the devices connected to your Premium Play account, log in to the Premium Play customer area, log in and go to Device management (down).
On the page that opens, find a device you no longer use and click on the button Delete related to the latter (in order to dissociate it from your account). When the operation is complete, connect to Premium Play from the new device you intend to use and this, by finding a free slot in your account, will finally allow you to access all your favorite content.
