Does the 39.99 euro a month include UK TV channels?

Well whatever you can get on the net is accessible like I watch BBC player, many of the free UK channels and most of the top news channels through internet, movies on Netflix and you tube etc etc hope it helps

Note Post: below regarding bootleg TV.

For basic UK channels such as BBC iPlayer ITV and Channel Four you only need a 'low cost VPN App' this routes the signal via a third party server. (Hides your IP address if not located in the UK). 

You can use use a Firestick or much better a laptop/PC or something like a Mac or Mini Mac, via HDMI, which can be really stable. Note firms who offer an IPTV service showing mainstream TV ' (Like UK TV) are not legal' containing copyright material, unless they have permission & pay for such rights. (To date people will find no such record of such rights being granted)  It's unlawful to supply & sell copyright programme content & in Spain have been raids to shut such operators, stopping what is effectively 'bootleg TV'. https://www.digitaltveurope.com/2019/03/25/spanish-police-shut-down-large-scale-pirate-streaming-operation/

Users should get better quality with your own system and a direct connection with good internet & HDMI video chip in a decent computer. (You really need a minimum internet speed of 40 Mbps the higher the better)  You don't need a 'Smart TV', just one with the HDMI digital input which can connect to the computer device. (Firesticks are OK and plug direct into to the HDMI input, but not as good as running a decent computer)

I tried engaging with Olivenet at the time with the concern over the ridiculous price rise, but there was little interest to help. It was a strange way to treat a loyal customer.  Anyway I've since gone with a far better cheaper provider.

I have posted many times about TV services, mainstream UK services are bootlegged by many operators, some of which have been shut down. However, people with good internet can create their own direct feed by paying for a VPN service this truncates via a non geographically located remote server. VPN suppliers listed below.
