An IPTV subscription in the UK: what you get, what it costs

What is actually in the box when you pay for IPTV, how screens and terms work, and how to avoid paying for a year you never use.

Updated · By the IPTV UK editorial desk

“Subscription” makes IPTV sound like Netflix, and in one way it is: you pay, you sign in, you watch. The differences are in what you sign in to and how the plans are built.

What do you actually receive?

After payment you get three things, usually by WhatsApp or email:

  • A server address (a web address, sometimes called the portal or DNS)
  • A username and password
  • Or an M3U playlist link that carries all three in one line

You type them into a player app, TiviMate for instance, or IPTV Smarters Pro, and the app fills with channel groups, a TV guide and a library.

How do screens and terms work?

One month Three months Six months Twelve months
1 screen £14.99 £34.99 £49.99 £74.99
2 screens £21.99 £49.99 £71.99 £104.99
3 screens £28.99 £64.99 £94.99 £134.99

Longer terms cost less a month: twelve months on one screen works out at £6.25 a month, a saving of 58% against paying monthly. Every plan has the same channels and the same library.

What should you check in the terms?

  • Renewal. Does it renew by itself? Ours does not.
  • Refunds. UK law gives you 14 days to cancel most online purchases, but digital services can lose that right once you start using them. We give a full refund within 14 days anyway; see our refund policy.
  • Screens. What happens if a fourth device tries to watch on a three-screen plan? Usually the newest one is refused.
  • Upgrades. Can you add a screen halfway through? We charge only the difference for the time left.

How do you buy?

Readers also ask

What does 'connections' or 'screens' mean on an IPTV plan?
It is how many devices can stream at the same moment. A one-screen plan works on any number of devices, but only one at a time. A family watching football in the lounge and a series upstairs needs two.
Does an IPTV subscription renew automatically?
Ours never does; we send a WhatsApp reminder before the end date. Many sellers do renew automatically, so check the terms and the payment method before you pay.
Can I move my subscription to a new TV?
Yes. You type the same log-in into the app on the new device. On the six- and twelve-month plans we also help move it for you.
