06 — FAQ

Good questions

Is IPTV legal in the UK?

Yes — IPTV is simply TV delivered over the internet, and many mainstream UK services use it. What matters is whether the provider holds the rights to the channels it streams. We only list services that do.

How do you choose which providers to compare?

Each provider must be a registered UK business with a trading address and must hold the rights to its content. We then test it hands-on for 30 days.

Do providers pay to be ranked?

No. Some listings are sponsored or earn us a commission, and these are clearly labelled "Sponsored". Scores come only from our published method.

What internet speed do I need?

Around 10 Mbps for Full HD and 25 Mbps for 4K per screen is a sensible minimum. Wired or strong Wi-Fi connections give the best results.

Can I cancel anytime?

It depends on the provider. Check the plans, contract and money-back details in each review before you sign up.
