What IPTV costs, and what is too cheap
Last looked over: 14 October 2026 · BritCast TV team
Most British IPTV sellers charge £8 to £15 a month, with longer stretches cheaper per month. Ours: £9.99 for a single month on one set, £58.99 for twelve, so £4.92 monthly. Watch anything live and the TV licence is still owed as well.
- The twelve-month rental saves 51% against paying month by month.
- More TV sets at once cost more with almost every provider.
- A whole year for £20 or £30 is a classic sign of a service that will vanish.
Our rentals, every price

The rest of the household telly bill
- TV licence: £180 annually from April 2026, covering live television and iPlayer.
- Netflix: £7.99 with adverts, £13.99 Standard and £20.99 Premium a month, after the September 2026 rise.
- Sky and NOW: depends on bundles and offers; the sport packs are where the money goes.
A fair comparison
Divide each price by the months it covers. Add whatever you would keep anyway, such as the licence or one streaming app, and set that total against what you pay today. Then take the free day before committing to anything long.
When cheap means trouble
If a year of everything costs less than a takeaway, ask who pays for the servers in March. Pay for a month first, use a payment method you can dispute, and read spotting a scam.
