Televo and Flickhaven are both UK-focused IPTV services selling prepaid access with no auto-renewal, and at two of the four plan lengths their prices are within a single penny of each other. That makes this a genuinely close comparison rather than a walkover — so this page sets out where each one wins, including where Televo wins, and leaves the choice to you.
We publish Flickhaven, so read this as a comparison written by an interested party. Every Televo figure below was taken from televo.uk on 5 September 2026 and is checkable against their site; every Flickhaven figure comes from our pricing configuration and appears identically across this site.
Short answer
Televo is cheaper if you commit 24 months up front — £79.99 is £3.33/mo and we do not sell a two-year plan. Flickhaven is cheaper at 12 months in real terms (£3.93/mo effective vs £4.17/mo), is the only one of the two with a monthly plan, and is the only one that lets you test the streams before paying anything. If you want certainty before you spend, that last difference is the one that matters.
Price at Every Plan Length
| Term | Televo | Flickhaven | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 month | Not offered | £15.00 (£15.00/mo) | Flickhaven |
| 3 months | £24.99 (£8.33/mo) | £25.00 (£8.33/mo) | Level |
| 6 months | £34.99 (£5.83/mo) | £35.00 (£5.83/mo) | Level |
| 12 months | £49.99 (£4.17/mo) | £55.00 → 14 months (£3.93/mo) | Flickhaven |
| 24 months | £79.99 (£3.33/mo) | Not offered | Televo |
Two things are worth spelling out. First, the 12-month row looks like a Televo win on the sticker price and is not: our £55.00 plan bills for twelve months and runs for fourteen, so the rate you actually pay is £3.93/mo against Televo's £4.17/mo. Second, the 24-month row is a real Televo advantage. £3.33/mo is the lowest rate on this page, we have no equivalent, and no amount of framing changes that.
What the table cannot show is risk. Televo's two-year plan is £79.99 committed before you have watched a single stream. Our monthly plan is £15.00 and our trial is free, so the most you can be wrong by is one month.
The Trial Difference
This is the clearest structural difference between the two services and the one most likely to decide your outcome.
Televo — pay, then test
No free trial is advertised. You buy a plan, receive credentials by email, and if the service does not suit you, you request your money back inside a seven-day window. Confirm the current terms on Televo's own refund page before buying — third-party pages describing Televo's refund terms do not agree with each other or with the site.
Flickhaven — test, then pay
A free 24-hour trial, activated over WhatsApp, with no credit card taken. You load your channels into your own app on your own device and connection, watch what you would normally watch, and decide afterwards. Nothing is charged and there is nothing to reclaim.
Both routes can end with you not paying. The difference is what has to go right for that to happen: one depends on a refund process working as described, the other depends on nothing at all. Start the free trial here if you want to test both and decide on evidence.
Channels and VOD — Read the Numbers Carefully
Flickhaven publishes 55,000+ live channels and 180,000+ VOD titles. That figure is stored in one place and rendered identically on every page of this site, so you can hold us to it.
Televo's figure is not a single figure. Its plan comparison table lists 25,000+ channels on Standard and 57,000+ on Premium; a features block on the same homepage says 34,000+ channels and 195,000+ VOD; the page's meta description says 160,000+. Reviews of Televo elsewhere on the web add 15,000+, 20,000+ and 22,000+ to the range.
Taken at face value, Televo's Premium tier claims marginally more channels than Flickhaven and its Standard tier claims well under half. Taken carefully, the spread between Televo's own published numbers is wide enough that no comparison against it can be precise — which is itself the finding.
Our IPTV buyer's checklist sets out how to test a channel lineup yourself rather than adjudicating between marketing numbers. The short version: list the ten to fifteen channels you genuinely watch and confirm each one at peak time. Every count above five figures is noise relative to that test.

- ✓Up to 5 simultaneous connections added at checkout
- ✓Lifetime Hot Player / IBO Player activation on Premium
- ✓A bundled in-app VPN, if that is how you want to route streams
Flickhaven wins on

- ✓A £15.00 monthly plan; Televo's minimum is £24.99 for 3 months
- ✓Lower effective 12-month rate — £3.93/mo vs £4.17/mo
- ✓One published channel figure rather than four conflicting ones

The Verdict
If you already know IPTV works well on your connection, you have used a service like this before, and you want the cheapest possible two-year rate, Televo's 24-month plan is the better financial deal and we do not have an answer to it.
For everyone else — and particularly if this is your first IPTV subscription — the sequence matters more than the sticker price. Test on your own device, your own connection and your own channels at peak time, then buy the term that suits you. That is a free decision with Flickhaven and a £24.99 decision with Televo.

Televo vs Flickhaven — Frequently Asked Questions
Is Flickhaven cheaper than Televo?+
It depends on the term. At 3 and 6 months the two are within a penny of each other (£25.00 vs £24.99, £35.00 vs £34.99). At 12 months Flickhaven is cheaper in real terms: £55.00 buys 14 months of access, an effective £3.93/mo, against Televo's £49.99 for 12 months at £4.17/mo. At 24 months Televo is cheaper — £79.99 works out at £3.33/mo and Flickhaven does not sell a 24-month plan.
Does Televo or Flickhaven have a free trial?+
Flickhaven does — a free 24-hour trial with no credit card, activated over WhatsApp. Televo does not advertise a free trial; it offers a seven-day money-back window on paid plans instead, so you pay first and reclaim afterwards if it does not work.
Which has more channels, Televo or Flickhaven?+
Flickhaven publishes 55,000+ live channels and 180,000+ VOD titles as a single figure used site-wide. Televo's number depends where you look: its plan table says 25,000+ on Standard and 57,000+ on Premium, a feature block on the same page says 34,000+, and the page's meta description says 160,000+. On the Premium tier Televo's claimed count is nominally higher than Flickhaven's; on Standard it is under half. Because the figures conflict, the only reliable comparison is testing the specific channels you watch.
Can I get a monthly plan with Televo?+
No. Televo's shortest plan is 3 months at £24.99. Flickhaven sells a 1-month plan at £15.00, which is the lower-risk way to try a service for a full billing period without a quarterly commitment.
Do either auto-renew?+
Neither does. Both sell prepaid passes for a fixed term with no automatic card charge at the end. This is a genuine shared strength against services that renew silently.
Which is better for live sport?+
Both carry UK sports coverage including TNT Sports and PPV events, and both advertise 4K on their top tiers. The differentiator is not the channel list but peak-time stability, which neither provider's marketing can prove to you. Test a Saturday 15:00 kick-off or a weekday evening match before committing — Flickhaven's free trial lets you do that at no cost, whereas testing Televo requires paying first.
Which should I choose?+
If the lowest possible monthly rate over two years is your priority and you are willing to pay up front without testing, Televo's 24-month plan at £3.33/mo is the cheapest option here. If you want to verify the service works on your channels, your device and your connection before any money changes hands — or you want a monthly plan, or the lowest effective 12-month rate — Flickhaven is the better fit.
