Cable TV alternatives include aerial television, satellite reception, broadcaster apps and other internet-delivered services. The best fit depends on local availability, the programmes you need and the connection you already have.

- Aerial: check reception and suitable receiving equipment.
- Satellite: check dish access, installation requirements and package details.

- Mobile broadband: check indoor coverage, sustained performance and data allowance.
Check your own address and devices
Use the prospective provider’s availability checker for your location. A general article cannot confirm coverage at a particular property. Confirm that your exact TV or external device supports the required app.
Compare total cost
Include installation, hardware, player charges, service duration and renewal price. Keep existing service cancellation dates in mind to avoid overlapping payments or a gap in access.
Build a short list around actual viewing
List the programmes and features you use most, then verify them with the relevant service. A single package may not include everything, and an internet player does not establish content rights.
