IP TV subscription UK — the 5-filter shortlist after testing 6 providers

Spent Q3 re-evaluating the household TV stack — the goal was one app, one login, one bill. Kept landing on IP TV as the format, specifically UK-based providers so support and refunds actually mean something. If you want to skip straight to the IP TV subscription UK provider I landed on, click here.

Assumed the UK end of the market would be tiny. It's not — there are dozens of providers targeting the UK now, most of them offshore fronts pretending to be UK.

Filters I actually used:

  • Companies House registered (verifiable in seconds — anyone can search the registry)
  • ICO-registered as data controller
  • HMRC VAT registration on file
  • Real UK support channel with response SLA
  • Minimum 30-day money-back window

One provider cleared all five. Everything paid annually, no rolling 18-month contract, login works first try on Firestick / iPad / Samsung TV.

To see the IP TV subscription UK setup that cleared the checklist, click here. Anyone else vetted UK-registered providers this year? Curious what your filter list looked like.
