OPTV free trial

OPTV offers a free 24-hour trial so you can test the service on your own connection and devices before paying for a full subscription. Twenty-four hours covers at least one peak evening, which is when problems actually show up.

How the free trial works

The trial runs for 24 hours and costs nothing. You start it from the trials page on myoptv.com, and it runs on your own devices, so you are testing the real service rather than a demo.

optvuk.com is the UK brand page. Subscriptions, billing and support all happen on myoptv.com.

What to actually test during a trial

A trial is only useful if you test the conditions you will really watch in. Testing at 11am on a quiet line tells you very little.

Watch during peak evening hours, when your broadband is most contended.
Test on the device you will actually use, not just on a phone.
Try a live event rather than only on-demand content. Live streams are less forgiving.
If you plan to watch on a TV, test the TV specifically. Smart TV network hardware is often the weakest link.

After the trial

Converting a trial to a paid subscription is done in your account on myoptv.com. optvuk.com holds no account data and cannot extend, convert or cancel a trial.
