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)
