One pass for the household where three generations watch three countries
British television has never quite served a home where the news is in Polish, the drama serial is in Urdu and the football is in English. Widescreen+ puts all three in one list — £6.00 a month on the 24-month term.
The countries readers ask about most
Not exhaustive. If yours is missing, ask — the answer is usually yes, and occasionally "yes, but only on Widescreen+", which we will say before you spend anything.
The specific homesickness that only television cures
There is a particular comfort in hearing the news in the accent you grew up with. In a cookery programme where the measurements are the ones your mother used. In the game show your grandmother watched, still running, still with the same theme tune, still hosted by somebody who has not aged in your memory.
Big British bundles do not solve that. They include hundreds of UK channels and nothing for a family that arrived from Warsaw, Lahore, Lagos or Lisbon. Meanwhile the cheap "world TV" boxes have a reputation for dying every few months — which is no help at all when the person relying on it is your father and you are at work.
That gap is where we sit: home-country channels on a connection we actually maintain, arranged in an order that makes sense to the people watching, with British channels in the same list so nobody has to change input, app or remote. And support that answers in plain English, because the person asking is often the son or daughter doing it remotely.
Make it behave like an ordinary television
Favourites first
The six or eight channels that get watched go at the top. Nobody should scroll past 40,000 channels to reach the evening news.
One app, one remote
On a Firestick or Smart TV it behaves like normal television: channel up, channel down, guide, no logins to remember.
British television included
BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and the sports channels sit beside the home-country shelves, so one pass covers the household.
Adult channels removable
Deleted entirely or hidden behind a PIN, both free. Families should not have to argue about that with a provider.
Setup walkthrough: IPTV on a Firestick. If the end user is a parent, the 4K Max plus an ethernet adapter will save at least three phone calls.

World television questions
Will you have channels from my country?
Almost certainly, on Widescreen+. The catalogue covers 120+ countries including Poland, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Romania, Turkey, Nigeria, Ghana, the Philippines, Portugal, Brazil, Italy, Spain and the Arab world. Tell support the country during the trial and we will confirm the exact shelf before you pay.
Will my parents be able to use it?
Yes, if it is set up for them: a Firestick, one remote, the channels they actually watch saved to favourites, and a sensible running order. We have talked more people through this on WhatsApp than we can count, usually with the adult child relaying.
Can we keep British channels in the same list?
That is the entire point. BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky Sports and the home-country channels sit in one list, so the household uses one pass and one remote rather than three services.
Can the adult channels be removed?
Yes. Deleted entirely, or hidden behind a PIN — both free. Families should not have to negotiate that with a provider.
