IPTV pricing: four plans, one catalogue, no hidden extras

How our IPTV pricing works

Most television providers build pricing around tiers: a cheap base package, then add-ons for sport, films and extra rooms until the bill has tripled. We do not do that. There is one catalogue, it is included on every plan, and the price you see is the price for all of it.

What you are choosing between is length. A shorter plan costs less upfront and carries less risk if you are new to the service. A longer plan costs more upfront and considerably less per month. That is the entire decision.

What every plan includes

Identical across all four, with no tier holding anything back:

• More than 20,000 live channels — sport, news, entertainment, documentaries, children's programming and international broadcasts
• Over 100,000 films and full series on demand, with new titles added weekly
• HD, Full HD and 4K streams wherever the source supports it
• A seven-day programme guide built into the app
• Setup help for your specific device, included
• Support seven days a week from a person, not a ticket queue

IPTV pricing worked out per month

The headline prices are easier to compare once broken down, which is where the longer plans make their case:

The jump from three months to twelve halves the monthly cost. That is why the twelve-month plan is the one most households settle on once they have tested the service and know it works on their line.

Which plan suits which household

Start with 3 months if you are new to this

It is the low-risk way to confirm the service performs on your own broadband over several weeks rather than a single evening. If it works well, moving up to a longer plan later loses you nothing at all.

6 months for a second room

The middle option mostly earns its place on connections rather than price — three simultaneous streams covers a household where the living room, a bedroom and a phone are all in use at once.

12 months for most families

Four connections and the lowest monthly figure of any renewable plan. For a family with several screens running on a weekend afternoon, this is usually the sensible landing point.

Lifetime if you already know it works

One payment of £349 with no renewal date to track and no yearly bill. It suits people who have already run the service for a while and know it fits. If you have never tried IPTV before, start shorter — there is no rush.

How this compares to cable and satellite

Across a full year the difference is stark, because traditional packages accumulate add-ons and rental charges that never appear in the advertised headline price:

The gap is rarely under £600 a year. Our UK IPTV page goes through those figures in more detail, British IPTV covers the same plans for anyone watching from abroad, and United Kingdom IPTV covers coverage across all four nations.

What our IPTV pricing does not cover

Being straight about the boundaries, since this is where surprises usually live elsewhere:

• Your broadband. You need your own connection — roughly 15 Mbps for HD, 25 Mbps or more for 4K.
• Hardware, if you have none. Almost everyone already owns a suitable device, but an older TV with no apps needs a streaming stick, which is an inexpensive one-off purchase from any high street shop.
• Extra connections. Beyond what your plan includes, these are priced separately. Ask when you message rather than discovering it later.

Payment and renewal

Payment is taken once, for the period you chose. Nothing renews automatically, no card is stored on file, and there is no subscription running quietly in the background. When a plan reaches its end date it simply stops, and you decide separately each time whether to continue.

That also means there is nothing to cancel partway through. If you want to carry on, message us a few days before your plan runs out and access continues without a gap. Refunds are covered separately on the refund policy page.

Test before you choose a plan

None of these prices mean much until you have seen the service running on your own line. The free trial costs nothing and takes no card details, and it answers the only question that actually matters — whether it works in your house, at the time you watch.
