Four three-month terms at the current $24.99 USD amount total $99.96. A twelve-month term is listed at $54.99, a difference of $44.97. This is a comparison of current published prices over twelve nominal months, not a quoted guarantee of four future renewals or a monthly billing contract.
Write down the complete calculation
Four multiplied by $24.99 is $99.96. Subtract the twelve-month total of $54.99 to get $44.97. Keeping the multiplication and subtraction visible makes the comparison easy to check. It also avoids confusing the difference between two totals with an extra fee, a cash refund or a separate promotional credit.
A lower equivalent is still a full-term purchase
Dividing $54.99 by twelve gives $4.5825, displayed as about $4.58 per month. The term total remains $54.99. It is not twelve payments of $4.58. Likewise, the three-month equivalent is a comparison aid. Use the actual totals in an order enquiry and retain the agreed term in the private purchase record.
Choose a duration after trying the setup
A long term is a stronger commitment than a single three-month period. First establish which player fits your device and request the one-day trial after installation. Consider whether you expect to keep using that setup. The arithmetic cannot establish future programme availability, a universal device allowance or native 4K delivery for every source.
Keep future decisions separate
Buying a three-month term now leaves a later renewal decision open. Buying twelve months sets a longer initial term. Neither choice should be described as automatic renewal without confirmed terms. If you are already a customer, identify the existing account privately and agree whether the order extends it or starts another activation before making a payment.

An example to work through
A comparison sheet can show $99.96 in the repeated three-month column, $54.99 in the twelve-month column and $44.97 as the difference. Label the repeated column “at current listed prices” so it is not mistaken for a future price promise.
Questions about this topic
Does a twelve-month term include more simultaneous streams?
Duration alone does not establish that. Ask for the connection allowance attached to your order.
Is the difference a refund if I change plans?
No. It is arithmetic between published totals. Any change to an existing purchase needs its own agreed handling.
