What Are IPTV Packages UK Households Can Choose From?

IPTV delivers live TV and on-demand content over your broadband instead of through a satellite dish or cable. An IPTV subscription service gives you login details, and you watch through an app on a Firestick, Smart TV, phone, tablet or PC.

With Max Streaming IPTV, the packages are different plan lengths: 1 month, 3 months and 12 months. The service is the same on each one, so your choice is about how long you want to commit and how much you want to pay per month.

If you are still deciding who to trust, our guide to the best IPTV UK subscription explains how to judge any provider, not just ours.

What every plan includes

  • 18,000+ live channels
  • 130,000+ movies and series on demand
  • 4K quality streams and an electronic TV guide (EPG)
  • 24/7 support on WhatsApp
  • A free 24-hour trial and a 7-day money-back guarantee

3 Months£29.99£10.00£35.00

Which of the IPTV Packages UK Plans Is Right for You?

The best plan is the one that matches how sure you are about the service. Here is a simple way to decide.

Choose 1 month if you want flexibility

A single month suits people who want to try the service properly after the free trial, or who only need it for a short period. It costs the most per month, but there is nothing to commit to.

Choose 3 months if you want to settle in

Three months gives you time to see how the service performs through different evenings and weekends. It is a sensible middle step if you like the trial but are not ready for a full year.

Choose 12 months if you are confident

The 12-month plan is the best value by a wide margin. It makes the most sense once you have tested it on your own connection and devices.

Households with several screens

Many homes want more than one screen running at the same time. Ask about extra connections on WhatsApp before you order, and read our guide to IPTV for multiple devices and family use for what to check.

What to Check Before You Buy

A few common questions come up before almost every purchase. Answering them first avoids problems later.

Will my broadband cope? As a rough guide, aim for around 15 Mbps for HD and 25 to 50 Mbps for 4K. You can check your connection with Speedtest, and our IPTV internet speed guide explains what each quality level needs.

Will it work on my device? Max Streaming IPTV works on Firestick, Samsung and LG Smart TVs, Android, iPhone, iPad and PC. Follow our Firestick setup guide or our guide to setting up IPTV on Samsung and LG Smart TVs.

Is there a contract? No. You choose a 1, 3 or 12 month plan and there is no long lock-in.

What if something goes wrong? Support is available on WhatsApp around the clock. Most buffering problems are fixable at home, and our buffering fix guide walks through the common causes.
