Advertising watchdog amends price rise guidanceTV packages are available from providers including Sky, Virgin Media, BT and NOW, as well as options from TalkTalk and Vodafone.
What each provider offers in their TV plan differs, with Sky and Virgin Media offering the biggest channel selections.
It's possible to choose premium channels such as Sky Sports, Sky Cinema and TNT Sports packs. It's also become increasingly common to be able to bundle on-demand streaming services into pay TV packages too.
Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Paramount+, and Discovery+, are all available from at least one TV provider and can become part of a larger TV and broadband bundle.
The TV comparison service at Choose allows you to filter the deals by specific channels so you can be sure you find a package with the shows you want to watch.
Choose offers a TV-only search, and a TV & broadband bundle comparison search - depending on whether you're looking for just a TV package or to save money by bundling home broadband as well.
We've made it easy to compare TV and broadband packages - simply enter your postcode to see the deals available in your specific area. Then filter the results by must have channels, broadband requirements and any phone calls.
Part of the Choose Promise means we only order our tables by price or by fact - so it's straightforward to sort your results by lowest price, highest value offer or fastest broadband speed, so you can quickly see the packages right for you.
People who take home broadband with a pay TV package will often find they can save money - but only if they'd be taking those services anyway.
Some TV providers including Virgin Media, BT and TalkTalk only allow customers to take their TV service with a broadband deal anyway. But people considering providers such as Sky or NOW will find there are often discounts for bundling.
Due to the popularity of Netflix as the biggest streaming service in the UK, pay TV providers are now including Netflix in their TV packages, giving customers the ability to combine their bills and often receive a discount in the process.
Netflix is available in TV bundles from Sky, Virgin Media, BT and TalkTalk.
By comparing Netflix TV plans with Choose, you can see which bundles offer Netflix the cheapest and if there are any special offers for new customers.
We research providers by looking into how they perform on metrics such as price, channel coverage, set top box performance and customer service records.
Choose offers expert guides into how each provider performs in the market, as well as in-depth reviews of individual services to help you decide which is the best pay TV provider for your needs.
