IPTV UK guides

Ten guides built from the questions UK homes send us most: getting a device ready, finding your way round the channels and the TV guide, keeping the picture smooth on match nights and working out what it all costs.

Where to start

Three ways into the guides

Each guide stands on its own. These routes help when you already know what you need.

Method

How these guides are written and checked

Each guide starts from questions the team answers every week. Menus are followed on the device itself; if a manufacturer or an app developer moves a setting, the paragraph is rewritten and the check date at the top changes.

Every guide names the menu as it appears on the screen in front of you, gives the numbers that matter (speed per screen, minutes, days of catch-up) and says plainly where a setting depends on the model or the year of your TV. Where a feature only exists in some players, the guide says which ones offer it at the time of writing instead of promising it everywhere.

The prices quoted in the guides are worked out from the four plans in pounds, so a change of price shows up on every page at the same time. Nothing in the guides depends on a lifetime offer or a monthly direct debit, because we sell neither.

For the whole route from login to picture on one page, start with IPTV UK setup, device by device; to compare lengths and screens before you order, see the IPTV UK plans.
