Compare EE TV Packages

In the UK, EE now offers a range of flexible TV plans, with prices starting from £49.99 per month for fibre broadband and TV. Until December 2023, the EE TV service was previously known as BT TV.

To start with, you’ll need to choose a fibre broadband plan (up to 67Mbps) or a full fibre broadband plan (up to 900Mbps) from either BT or EE. Once you’ve done that, you can add one of the following TV plans:

• Entertainment: This is the most popular plan on EE TV. It gives you access to 120+ live TV channels including Sky Atlantic and other Sky Entertainment channels. You’ll also get Netflix and discovery+ Basic included. If you upgrade to Big Entertainment, you’ll get the Sky Cinema channels as well.
• Sport: The most popular plan for sports lovers. The Sport plan gives you all 4 TNT Sports channels, along with Eurosport and discovery+ Premium. If you upgrade to the Big Sport plan, you’ll get the Sky Sports channels on top of this as well.
• Full Works: Previously known as VIP TV, this is EE’s top-of-the-range TV plan. It gives you everything that’s on the ‘Big Entertainment’ and ‘Big Sport’ plans. Alongside the 145+ live TV channels, you’ll also get Netflix Standard, discovery+ Premium and the NOW HD Boost.

The following table shows a side-by-side comparison of the channels you’ll get on each package:

In the section below, you can see a detailed list of the channels available on each plan. You can also compare the plans available on the BT website.

BT TV Channels: By Package

Standard Freeview Channels

On all of the EE TV plans, you’ll start off with about 100 Freeview channels. This includes all of the usual free-to-air favourites from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, and more. It also includes some children’s TV channels such as CBBC, CBeebies, POP and Ketchup, along with 24/7 news and radio channels.

The following table shows the free-to-air channels you can typically expect to get:

The EE TV Box Pro relies on a television aerial to receive most of these channels. You’ll therefore need a good television aerial in order to pick up these channels. If you don’t have an easily accessible or reliable aerial connection, about 40 of the above channels can also be received through your broadband connection (when using the box in internet mode).

If you’re an EE broadband customer, you can choose to have the Apple TV 4K box instead of the regular EE TV Box Pro. This doesn’t support television aerial connections. However, you’re still able to watch selected Freeview channels over your broadband connection (in internet mode).

Entertainment Channels

If you choose the EE TV Entertainment plan, you’ll get access to Sky Atlantic and other Sky Entertainment channels through a NOW Entertainment membership (worth £9.99 per month).

You’ll also get Netflix Basic included (worth £6.99 per month), giving you unlimited HD-quality streaming without any adverts on one device at a time.

There’s also discovery+ Basic (worth £3.99 per month) included for documentaries and reality TV.

If you upgrade to the Big Entertainment package, you’ll also get the Sky Cinema channels (via a NOW Cinema membership, which is worth £9.99 per month). This is on top of everything that’s included on the standard Entertainment plan.

Big Sport Channels

If you upgrade to the Big Sport plan, you’ll get access to all of the Sky Sports channels through an inclusive NOW Sports membership (worth £34.99 per month). This is on top of TNT Sports and everything else that’s included on the Sport plan.

Full Works Channels

For the most complete television experience, you can choose the Full Works package on EE TV. This was previously known as the VIP package on BT TV.

With Full Works, you’ll get everything that’s on the Big Entertainment and Big Sport plans. In addition, you’ll get an upgrade to Netflix Standard, allowing you to watch in HD quality on up to two devices at the same time. The EE TV HD & 4K add-on is also included, allowing you to watch your EE TV channels in high-definition, where available.

There’s a 24-month contract on all EE TV plans. However, the plans are flexible and can be changed month-to-month (e.g. if you want to add or remove some channels).

EE TV Box Pro

On all EE TV plans, you’ll get the EE TV Box Pro included as standard (this was previously known as the BT TV Box Pro). The box will allow you to watch all of your live TV and on-demand content in one place.

You’ll connect the EE TV Box Pro to your home Wi-Fi network, along with a television aerial if available. With that in place, you’ll be able to pause, rewind and record live TV, with enough space for up to 600 hours of recordings on the box. You can also schedule your recordings remotely using the EE TV app.

Alongside the recording features, the EE TV Box Pro also allows you to access on-demand content from a range of apps including BBC iPlayer, ITVX, NOW, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and more. Some of these services are free-to-air (e.g. iPlayer and ITVX), whereas others may require an additional subscription, if this isn’t already included in your plan.

The EE TV Box Pro has has full support for Dolby Atmos surround sound, along with 4K HDR content (e.g. for watching TNT Sports Ultimate in 4K Ultra HD).

If you’re an EE broadband customer, there’s the option to substitute your EE TV Box Pro for a Apple TV 4K box instead. If you choose the Apple TV 4K option, you won’t have the ability to store recordings on your box, or to connect it to a television aerial for live TV. However, you’ll still be able to stream live TV channels through a special app on the box. In addition, you’ll be able to use Apple TV apps, and there’s six months of Apple TV+ included. For this reason, it might be preferable if you’re already bought in to the rest of the Apple ecosystem.

If you’d like to watch TV in multiple rooms at the same time, you can add an EE TV Box Mini. This will cost an extra £10 per month if you’re a BT Broadband customer. Alternatively, there’s no extra cost when you take EE TV on EE home broadband (for up to two additional EE TV Box Minis).
