  • Sky Cinema: £13/month
  • UHD Pack: £6/month
  • Ad Skipping: £5/month
  • Kids: £7/month

    The IPTV UK Elite Cost

  • 12 Month Pass: £55. (Total. Not per month.)
  • That includes all the sports, all the movies, the kids channels, and 4K.

    Switching to IPTV saves you about £900 a year. That's a holiday. That's a new phone. That's a lot of money to pay just for a branded TV interface.
