# Overview 

A single JubileeTV Membership supports multiple Consoles for one TV End User. This allows you to bring the JubileeTV experience to multiple rooms in the same home.

:::BlockQuote
**Important:** JubileeTV is designed as a single-residence system. If you install Consoles in multiple residence, some features may not work as expected.

# How It Works

Each Console operates its own TV "station," but they all belong to the same Membership.

## What you need for each room

Each TV requires its own dedicated setup. You cannot "share" these items between Consoles:

- A JubileeTV Console and Voice Remote
- A TV
- Source devices (Cable/satellite set-top box, Roku, etc.)
- Power supply and Smart Plug

## What stays "In Sync"

When you have multiple Consoles, they work together as a single system. The following items are **system-wide**, meaning a change or notification on one will affect all Consoles in the home.

### System Settings & Preferences

- **[JubileeTV Usage Modes](docId\:vc_Oz1fVLHxIwevdS3ilq):** Changing the Usage Mode (e.g., from Interactive Mode to Passive Mode) updates all Consoles simultaneously.
- **[TV Interface Settings](docId\:RZv16uA-EOknMRqVLozmL):** If you enable or disable specific features, such as the Messaging, those changes apply to every TV.
- **Contacts:** Any family member or friend connected to the JubileeTV account has access to all Consoles within that Membership.

### Communication & Content

- **[Video Calling](docId\:phUbTEB2jacCvewoAHYXt):** All connected TVs will ring at once. As soon as the call is answered on one TV, the others will stop ringing automatically.
- **Messages & Reminders:** Any message or Reminder sent to the TV User appears on every screen. Once it is acknowledged or dismissed on one TV, the pop-up is cleared from the others.
- **Photos & Videos:** Any media shared by the family is accessible across all Consoles, allowing the TV User to view their gallery from any room.

## What is NOT synced across consoles

While your account is unified, some features are specific to the hardware in each room. The following items must be configured for **each individual Console**:

### [Favorites](docId:05hmDMogl4tjCsRkUK9-x)

Because each room might have different equipment (for example, a cable/satellite set-top box in the living room but a Roku in the bedroom), **Favorites** are managed separately.

- **Action Required:** You will need to set up your favorite channels and apps for each Console individually.

### [Activity Feed](docId\:Qn3Xy1rb3RC7Bcs_kzHEt)

Each Console maintains its own history of what has been watched or accessed in that specific room.

- **Activity History:** The Activity Feed will only show events that occurred in a specific room and on a specific TV.
- **Settings:** Notifications and preferences for the Activity Feed must be adjusted for each Console independently.

# How to Add an Additional Console 

Only the **Primary Admin** of a JubileeTV Membership can add an additional Console to an account. The process depends on whether you are currently renting your equipment or if you purchased it from a third-party retailer.

## If you purchased via [GetJubileeTV.com](https://getjubileetv.com/)

If you purchased directly from our website, you are **renting** your equipment. To add a console:

1. Log in to [serviceplan.getjubileetv.com](https://serviceplan.getjubileetv.com/) 
2. Select **Manage Service Plan** to access the Service Plan Management portal. 
3. On the **Additional Console **card, select **Add**.
4. Once your new Console arrives, follow the included instructions to complete the setup.

## If You Purchased via a Third Party (e.g., Amazon)

If you purchased from a third party, you **own **your hardware. To add a console:

1. Go to the original store you ordered JubileeTV** (e.g., [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C67QWP3W?th=1))** and tap the **Account Menu** in the top-right corner.
2. **Purchase** the new JubileeTV hardware.
3. **Set up the Console** once it arrives.

**Important:** When prompted for an email address during setup, **use the same email address** associated with your existing JubileeTV account to ensure the devices are linked correctly.

# Pricing

The price of adding JubileeTV to another TV in the TV End User's residence depends on where you purchased you initially purchased JubileeTV.

## If you purchased from [GetJubileeTV.com](https://getjubileetv.com/)

This means you are **renting** your hardware directly. You can add extra Consoles to the same household at a discounted rate.

| Plan Type   | Cost (per additional Console) |
| ----------- | ----------------------------- |
| **Monthly** | $19 / month                   |
| **Annual**  | $149 / year                   |
| **All-In**  | $249 (one-time charge)        |

## If you purchased from a 3rd Party (e.g., [Amazon](https://links.getjubileetv.com/TNa1KB))

Because you own the hardware, there are **no additional subscription fees** for adding extra Consoles to the same household. The only cost is that of the hardware itself, which you can pick up at your preferred 3rd-party retailer.
