Hidden costs of cable TV vs IPTV
Sports add-ons
Cable and satellite packages typically charge extra for sports tiers. Sky Sports costs £20–25/month on top of the base Sky package in the UK. ESPN+ is separate from cable in the USA. IPTV includes all sports channels in the base price.
PPV charges
Sky Box Office charges £24.95 per boxing or wrestling PPV event in the UK. UFC PPV events cost $79.99 each in the USA. IPTV carries the broadcast channels that air these events — no per-event charge on top of the subscription.
Equipment and installation
Sky requires a satellite dish and iQ box installation at additional cost. Foxtel requires a satellite or cable connection. IPTV works on devices you already own — Firestick, Smart TV, Android box, phone, tablet, or laptop.
Early termination fees
Cable and satellite providers charge early cancellation fees of $200–400 in the USA and £200+ in the UK if you leave before the minimum contract term. IPTV has no minimum contract — cancel any time.
