Reading order
Where to start
Not ordered yet? Read what IPTV 4K Ultra HD really means and how much bandwidth a 4K screen needs first. Between them they answer the two questions people ask most before paying: is it really 4K, and is my broadband up to it.
Already holding a login message? Open the guide for the device under your TV, or work through the full 4K IPTV setup page, which runs from the login message to the info panel that proves 4K.
Every guide names menus as they appear on screen today, takes its prices from the current plans, and tells you when it is quicker to message the team than to keep reading. None of them promises more than your TV, your device and your broadband can deliver.
In each guide
- The answer in two or three sentences first
- A table you can scan
- The 4K conditions spelled out
- Settings named the way your screen shows them
- Five to seven questions answered at the end
Read a guide, then choose a plan: your login follows about 2 minutes after paying
Every guide closes with a way back to the plans. When you are ready, choose a length and pay once. If every screen at home stays blank despite our help, the refund rule gives you 7 days to claim your money back.
