Getting set up in London

There is nothing local to install: no dish, no engineer and no aerial work. Ask for the trial, install the player app on your TV or stick, and sign in. If your Wi-Fi struggles in the room where the TV is, a cable or a mesh point makes the biggest difference. Our set-up guides cover every device.
