UK IPTV guide
UK IPTV vs Sky TV: the real cost
In brief
A year of UK IPTVs costs £79.99 for one screen, while a typical satellite package with sport often costs £50 to £100 or more every month on an 18 to 24 month contract. IPTV wins on price and flexibility if your broadband is decent; satellite suits homes with slow or unreliable internet.

Satellite figures are typical ranges for illustration only and vary by package and offer. Sky is a trademark of its owner; UK IPTVs is not affiliated with it.
Channels and sport
UK IPTVs carries 900+ UK channels inside a 35,000+ channel line-up, with sport included rather than sold as an add-on, plus 150,000+ films and box sets on demand.
Picture and reliability
Satellite does not depend on your broadband, which is its main strength. IPTV depends on your connection: around 10 Mbps per HD screen is enough, and most UK fibre lines handle several screens comfortably.

Your questions
Can I keep my broadband and drop the TV package?
Usually yes; many providers let you keep broadband only. Check your contract end date first.
Do I need a dish for UK IPTV?
No. UK IPTV runs over your broadband on devices you already own.
