Televo vs Flickhaven 2026 — Which UK IPTV Service Actually Wins?
Televo vs Flickhaven depends on the plan length. On 30 October 2026 Televo was cheaper for one month (£12.99) and for 24 months (£3.33 a month), the two were level at 3 and 6 months, and Flickhaven was cheaper at 12 months because its plan runs 14. The bigger difference is order: Televo has no free trial, so you pay first, while Flickhaven offers a free 24-hour trial. We run Flickhaven.
Competing-operator disclosure
Flickhaven operates a competing IPTV service, so this page about Televo is a stated position, not an independent review. For a neutral view, seek out reviewers with no commercial relationship to either service.
Televo and Flickhaven are both UK-focused IPTV services selling prepaid access with no auto-renewal, and at two 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. Where the two sit against six other UK-focused services is covered in the eight-service UK comparison.
We publish Flickhaven, so read this as a comparison written by an interested party. Every Televo figure below was taken from televo.co.uk (televo.uk now redirects there) on 30 October 2026 and is checkable against their site; every Flickhaven figure comes from our pricing configuration and appears identically across this site, including the page on what a Flickhaven subscription includes.
Short answer
Televo is cheaper for one month (£12.99 against £15.00) and if you commit 24 months up front (£79.99, £3.33/mo; 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), and is the only one of the two 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 | £12.99 (listed separately) | £15.00 | Televo |
| 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 |
Three 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 and we have no equivalent. Third, Televo's £12.99 month, added since our September check, undercuts our £15.00 month.
What the table cannot show is risk. Every Televo plan, including the £12.99 month, is paid before you have watched a single stream. Our trial is free, so you can be wrong by nothing before you buy.
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, Televo says you can 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+ on-demand 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. On televo.co.uk its plan comparison table lists 25,000+ channels on Standard and 57,000+ on Premium; its hero and features blocks say 34,000+ channels and 195,000+ on-demand titles; another section says over 35,000. 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 checks to run before paying any IPTV provider 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.

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 at least a £12.99 decision with Televo.

Televo vs Flickhaven — Frequently Asked Questions
Is Flickhaven cheaper than Televo?+
It depends on the term. For one month Televo is cheaper: £12.99 against Flickhaven's £15.00. At 3 and 6 months the two are within a penny (£25.00 vs £24.99, £35.00 vs £34.99). At 12 months Flickhaven is cheaper in real terms: £55.00 buys 14 months, an effective £3.93/mo, against Televo's £49.99 for 12 months at £4.17/mo. At 24 months Televo is cheaper 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+ on-demand titles as a single figure used site-wide. Televo's number depends where you look on televo.co.uk: 25,000+ on Standard and 57,000+ on Premium in its plan table, 34,000+ in its hero and features, and over 35,000 in another section. On Premium Televo's claimed count is nominally higher; on Standard it is under half. Because the figures conflict, the reliable comparison is testing the channels you watch.
Can I get a monthly plan with Televo?+
Yes, now. On 30 October 2026 televo.co.uk listed a one-month plan at £12.99 in a separate section, with no quality tier stated, cheaper than Flickhaven's £15.00. The difference is the order: Televo's month is paid before you can test, while Flickhaven's free 24-hour trial comes first.
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 list UK sports coverage, 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. 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 means paying first.
Which should I choose?+
If the lowest monthly rate over two years is your priority and you will pay up front without testing, Televo's 24-month plan at £3.33/mo is the cheapest option here, and its £12.99 month is the cheapest short plan. If you want to verify the service on your channels, device and connection before any money changes hands, or want the lowest effective 12-month rate (£3.93/mo), Flickhaven is the better fit.
