If you’re living abroad and want to keep up with British TV, chances are someone has offered you an IPTV box or subscription. At first glance, it can look like the perfect fix: hundreds of channels, cheap monthly fees, and access to live UK TV.
But there’s a catch.
In fact, several catches.
IPTV is often unreliable, legally questionable, and can stop working overnight — leaving you frustrated and without access to your favourite shows.
The good news? There’s a much better, legal alternative that gives you access to all the UK TV you love, in HD, without the risks.
While IPTV promises “all channels in one box,” the reality for many expats and holiday home owners is disappointing:
You end up paying for something that doesn’t deliver — and always carries the risk of being shut down.
Instead of relying on grey-market IPTV, you can watch UK TV abroad directly from the official apps — BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, My5, Sky Go, Discovery+, Now TV and more.
The only challenge is that these services are geo-blocked outside the UK. They check your location using your IP address, and if you’re abroad, they block you.
That’s where our solution comes in.
We provide pre-configured VPN routers that connect through a UK residential broadband IP address.
This means:
No complicated software. No dodgy services. Just plug it in and use your devices as normal.
Our routers come with 1, 3, 6 or 12-month subscription options. Each term runs continuously, but you can let it lapse when you’re not abroad and renew later — no penalties.
This makes it perfect for:
IPTV might seem like a quick fix for British TV abroad — but it’s unreliable, legally risky, and frustrating in the long run.
The smarter choice is to use a VPN router with a UK residential IP. You get legal, high-quality streams from official apps, on all your devices, without buffering or uncertainty.
