How much are you really spending on telly?
Sky here, Netflix there, sport on top and a couple of apps you forgot about — it adds up fast. Tick everything you pay for below and see the yearly total in black and white… then see how much of it you could keep.
The rising cost of watching TV in Britain
Ten years ago, telly was one bill. Today it’s a stack of them: a base package for the channels, one streaming app for the box sets, another for the kids, a sports add-on for the weekend, and a film service for a rainy Sunday. Individually each looks cheap — a tenner here, thirty for the sport there — but added together, many British households quietly spend £60 to £100 a month on watching television. That’s £720 to £1,200 a year, often without ever sitting down to total it up.
How consolidating saves you money
The calculator above shows the saving because IPTV UK replaces that stack rather than adding to it: live channels, the weekend football, films and box sets under one login, from £49 a year. For most households that works out cheaper than a single month of a cable-and-sports bundle. Not sure your broadband is up to it?

Cost & savings FAQs
How much does the average UK household spend on streaming?
Once you add a base TV package to two or three streaming apps and a sports add-on, many British households spend £60 to £100 a month — £720 to £1,200 a year. Sport in particular is expensive, with Sky Sports and TNT Sports each costing around £30 a month on their own.
How can I save money on TV and streaming subscriptions?
The biggest saving comes from consolidating. Instead of paying for a cable package plus several separate streaming apps and sports add-ons, one IPTV UK plan brings live channels, sport, films and box sets together under a single login from £49 a year — for most households a saving of several hundred pounds a year.
Is IPTV cheaper than Sky, Virgin or NOW?
Considerably. A single cable or sports package alone often costs more per month than an entire year of IPTV UK, which is £49 for the annual plan. Because it replaces several subscriptions at once rather than adding to them, the calculator above usually shows a saving of several hundred pounds a year.
