One subscription for the household where three generations watch three countries
British television has never quite served a home where the news is in Polish, the drama serial is in Urdu and the football is in English. ULTRA+ puts all three in one list — for £6.29 a month on the 24-month term.
The countries readers ask about most
Not exhaustive — if yours is missing, ask. The answer is usually yes, and occasionally "yes but only on ULTRA+", which we will say before you spend anything.
The specific homesickness that only television cures
There is a very particular comfort in hearing the news in the accent you grew up with. In a cookery programme where the measurements are the ones your mother used. In the game show your grandmother watched, still running, still with the same theme tune, still hosted by somebody who has not aged in your memory.
Big UK packages do not solve that. They bundle hundreds of British channels and nothing for anyone whose family arrived from Warsaw, Lahore, Lagos or Lisbon. Meanwhile the cheap "world TV" boxes have a reputation for dying every few months — which is no help at all when the person relying on it is your father and you are at work.
That gap is where we sit: home-country channels on a connection we actually maintain, arranged in an order that makes sense to the people watching, with UK channels in the same list so nobody has to change inputs, apps or remotes. And support that answers in plain English, because the person asking is often the son or daughter doing it remotely.
Make it behave like a normal television
Favourites first
The six or eight channels that actually get watched go at the top. Nobody should scroll past 40,000 channels to reach the evening news.
One app, one remote
On a Firestick or Smart TV it works like ordinary television: channel up, channel down, guide, no logins to remember.
UK TV in the same list
BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky Sports sit beside the home-country channels, so one subscription covers the whole household.
Adult channels removable
Deleted entirely, or hidden behind a PIN, at no cost. Families should not have to negotiate that with a provider.
Setup walkthrough: IPTV on a Firestick. If the end user is a parent, the 4K Max plus an ethernet adapter will save you at least three phone calls.

World TV questions
Will you have channels from my country?
Almost certainly, on ULTRA+. The catalogue covers 120+ countries including Poland, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Romania, Turkey, Nigeria, Ghana, the Philippines, Portugal, Brazil, Italy, Spain and the Arab world. Tell support the country during the free test and we will confirm the exact list first.
Will my parents be able to use it?
Yes, if it is set up with them in mind: a Firestick, one remote, the channels they watch saved to favourites, and the guide in a sensible order. We have talked more people through this on WhatsApp than we can count, usually with the adult child relaying.
Can we keep UK channels in the same list?
That is the point. BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky Sports and the home-country channels sit in one list, so the whole household uses one subscription and one remote rather than three services.
Is the family filter optional?
Yes. Adult channels can be removed entirely at no cost, and we can also hide them behind a PIN rather than deleting them if adults want them but children should not find them.
