The 5-filter checklist I used to pick an IP TV subscription in the UK

Spent the last quarter re-evaluating the household TV setup. Ended up settling on an IP TV subscription over the traditional route — cheaper, more flexible, works on every device we already own. If you want to skip the research and see the UK IP TV subscription I landed on, click here.

Only one cleared all five. WhatsApp support answered in under 10 min, first-try login on Firestick / mobile / Smart TV, 60-day guarantee, single annual payment.

The temptation is to go with whoever's cheapest on the first Reddit thread. Worth £5-10 more per year for a provider that's actually a registered business — someone to email when something breaks.

To see the IP TV subscription that cleared all 5 filters, click here. Anyone tried a UK option that would clear the same list? Would love a second on file.
