HOW IT WORKS

The free services BBC iplayer (bbc.co.uk/ iplayer), ITV Hub (itv.com/hub/itv), All4 (all4.com) and My5 (my5.tv) give you from seven to 30 days – and sometimes longer – to watch programmes and films that have already aired. Netflix (netflix.co.uk), Prime Video (amazon.co.uk/piv), Now (nowtv.com), Apple TV+ (apple.com/uk/ apple-tv-plus), Britbox (britbox.co.uk), Disney+ (disneyplus.com) and Acorn TV (acorn.tv) are all subscription services. There is also a selection of non-subscription sites for the rental and purchase of TV and film, such as Rakuten TV (uk.rakuten.tv) and Google Play (play.google.com/store). All of these services can be watched through a variety of internet-connected devices.
