Guests booking a short-term let in the UK or Ireland expect more than a kettle and clean towels. After a day out in the Lakes, Edinburgh or along the Wild Atlantic Way, most people want to put their feet up and watch something. A blank telly or a confusing pile of remotes is a fast route to a three-star review. IPTV solves that in one tidy move, and it does so for less than a single takeaway each month.
Why guests judge your telly
Modern travellers are used to streaming at home, so they expect the same in your let. They want the football on at the weekend, a film for the kids on a rainy afternoon, and familiar channels like BBC, ITV and Sky in the background. When the entertainment is sorted, guests stay longer, relax more and leave kinder reviews, which is exactly what keeps your calendar full.
IPTV vs a Sky or Virgin box
A traditional Sky or Virgin Media subscription ties you into a long contract, a monthly bill that climbs every year, and an engineer appointment you have to be home for. For a property you do not live in, that is a lot of cost and faff. IPTV flips the model: one low price, no contract, and everything delivered over the broadband you already pay for.
With Orca4KTV your guests get 25,000+ channels, including the Premier League, EFL and Champions League, plus BBC, ITV and Sky, a children’s selection and more than 120,000 films and box sets on demand. One service covers sport, catch-up and family viewing without stacking up three separate streaming apps.
It works on the telly you already have
You do not need to replace a single television. IPTV runs on an inexpensive Amazon Fire TV Stick plugged into the HDMI port, or straight onto a Samsung, LG or Android smart TV. Set it up once, leave the app open on the home screen, and every guest can start watching the moment they arrive. There are no cables to run and nothing for them to install.
Easy for guests, no faff for you
The best guest experience is the one that needs no explanation. Pop a small laminated card by the TV, point to the app, and that is it. Because everything is pre-loaded, there is no password for guests to remember and no account for them to log in to. If you ever need a hand, our team answers 24/7 over WhatsApp, so a quick question never turns into a lost evening.
The cost: one low price, no contract
Orca4KTV plans start at just $15 for a single month, and a 12-month plan works out at roughly $5 a month, far below what a Sky box costs for a property. There is no contract, no setup fee and a 7-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it risk-free. See the full breakdown on our pricing page, or test everything first with a free trial.
A quick word on reasonable use
Treat in-let entertainment the way you would any other amenity: provide it for guests to enjoy during their stay, keep it to normal household viewing, and set expectations clearly in your house guide. Sensible, reasonable guest entertainment keeps everyone happy and your listing looking professional.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need fast broadband in the property?
A standard UK or Irish home broadband connection is plenty. For smooth 4K and HD playback we suggest around 25 Mbps, which most fibre packages comfortably exceed.
Can several guests watch at once?
Yes. Multi-device plans let different rooms watch different channels at the same time, so a family is never fighting over the one telly.
What happens if a guest has a problem with the TV?
Point them to our 24/7 WhatsApp support, or message us yourself. Most issues are a quick reset and are sorted in minutes, so your evening is never interrupted.
Is it quick to set up before my next booking?
It is. Activation takes under 15 minutes, so you can have it running on a Firestick or smart TV well before your next guest checks in.
