# What is BeaverTV and what do I need to use it?

BeaverTV is Eyesurf's television service. Instead of a cable box, it's a streaming app that runs over your Eyesurf internet connection — you download the BeaverTV app on a Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Firestick, or an Android or iOS phone or tablet, sign in with the login we email you, and watch. Every subscription includes a PVR with 50 hours of recording, the ability to watch shows from previous days, pause-and-rewind for live TV, and streaming on up to 4 devices at once in HD. You need Eyesurf internet to use it, and a streaming device is not included.

## What you need

- **An Eyesurf internet plan.** BeaverTV is delivered through your internet connection, so it's only available with Eyesurf internet — it can't be purchased on its own. As a rule of thumb, a **30 Mbps plan comfortably runs about three HD TVs at once** — budget roughly 5–10 Mbps per HD stream, or 15–25 Mbps per 4K stream, for each TV playing at the same time.
- **A compatible streaming device:** Roku, Apple TV (4th generation or newer), Amazon Firestick, or an Android/iOS phone or tablet. A streaming device is not included with the service — most customers already have one, and inexpensive options are widely available.

## What's included

Every BeaverTV subscription starts with the **TV Basics** package — local TV, news, and entertainment channels.

All plans include:

- **PVR recording** — 50 hours (3,000 minutes) of storage, with series recording. Details: [Does your TV service come with a PVR?](https://help.eyesurf.net/en/article/does-your-tv-service-come-with-a-pvr-rt1cm7/)
- **Go-Back** — watch shows from previous days
- **Timeshift** — pause, rewind, and fast-forward live TV
- **Up to 4 devices streaming at once**, all on the same login, at no extra charge
- **HD picture quality**
- **Self-serve channel management** — add or remove channels yourself, with changes applied in real time: [How do I add/remove channels to my TV subscription?](https://help.eyesurf.net/en/article/how-do-i-addremove-channels-to-my-tv-subscription-ceyyva/)

## Want more channels?

On top of TV Basics you can add the **Sports Pack** (includes both Sportsnet and TSN), **Crave & HBO**, or **Pick My Own** bundles where you choose your own channels in 5, 10, or 15-channel tiers. See [What channels does BeaverTV have? Packages and add-ons](https://help.eyesurf.net/en/article/what-channels-does-beavertv-have-packages-and-add-ons-vv91ew/) for the full picture, and https://beavertv.ca for the current lineup.

## How do I sign up?

See [How do I get BeaverTV?](https://help.eyesurf.net/en/article/how-do-i-get-beavertv-gnr5mk/) — in short: you need Eyesurf internet at your address, then add the TV Basics package by phone or chat. Your login arrives by email, and setup guides for [Roku](https://help.eyesurf.net/en/article/how-to-set-up-your-roku-streaming-stick-4k-8ga367/) and [Firestick](https://help.eyesurf.net/en/article/how-to-set-up-your-amazon-firestick-tv-1ep7eu5/) walk you through the rest.
