English-language TV
English IPTV: English-language TV wherever you live
Moved abroad, live in a bilingual home, or simply prefer programs in English? Internet TV lets you keep English-language news, sport and entertainment on your screen in any country. Here is what to expect and how to set it up well.
Who it helps
Three situations we see every week
Expats and remote workers
Local TV is in another language, and you miss the news and shows from home.
Bilingual families
Children grow up with two languages; English cartoons and documentaries help keep both alive.
Long-stay travelers
Months away for work or study, with a tablet and a hotel or rental TV.
Where the English comes from
English-language categories in the guide
Channels are grouped by country, so English programming is easy to find. Line-ups change over time; ask us to confirm the channels you rely on.
UK & Ireland
General entertainment, factual, news and children’s programming.
United States & Canada
Network entertainment, news and sport categories.
Australia & New Zealand
Free-to-air style entertainment and news, where available.
International news in English
Rolling news channels broadcasting in English to a global audience.
Time zones
Making the TV guide match your clock
When you watch channels from another country, the guide can show their local time instead of yours. Most players fix this with one setting.
Example: you live in Spain (one hour ahead of the UK). A UK program listed at 20:00 airs at 21:00 for you. Set the EPG time offset to +1 hour, or set your device time zone correctly and let the app convert automatically.
Quick fix
Set your device time zone
Use automatic time zone where available.
Check one program
Compare a news bulletin’s real start time with the guide.
Adjust the EPG offset
In player settings, shift the guide by the difference in hours.
Language settings
English audio and subtitles on demand
In the films and series library, many titles carry more than one audio track or subtitle option. Look for the speech-bubble or “Audio” button in the player while a title is playing.
- Set the player’s preferred audio language to English
- Turn on subtitles for younger viewers learning English
- Live channels broadcast in their original language
A note on watching from abroad
Broadcasting rights are often sold country by country, and the rules about what you may watch differ between countries. Check what applies where you live. Our terms ask every customer to use the service lawfully in their own country, and we respond to rights-holder notices under our copyright policy.
Can I watch English channels in a non-English-speaking country?
Technically yes — the service works over the internet anywhere with a good connection. Make sure you follow the laws that apply in your country of residence.
Will the channels be in English with local adverts?
Channels play as they are broadcast in their home country, including their own advertising and schedules.
Do I need a VPN to watch English TV abroad?
No. A VPN is not required to use the service. If you use one for privacy, choose a nearby server to avoid buffering.
