IPTV vs Cable: Why UK Households Are Switching

Cable and satellite dominated UK living rooms for decades. IPTV has quietly overtaken both — cheaper, more channels, no contract, no engineer visits. Here's a straight comparison against Sky, Virgin Media and BT.

Price

A full Sky package with Sports and Cinema comfortably clears £90/month. IGIPTV's equivalent (every UK channel, every Sky Sports feed, every movie in 4K) is under £5/month on the annual plan. That's not a typo.

Channels and content

Sky Q gives you around 300 channels. IGIPTV serves 25,000+ channels plus 80,000+ on-demand titles including full Netflix, Disney+ and HBO catalogues in 4K.

Flexibility

No 18-month contract. No engineer visit. No dish on the wall. Change device, pause, or cancel — IGIPTV IPTV UK is built for how people actually watch TV in 2026.

Frequently asked questions
