Watching on a Windows laptop or desktop is handy for working from home or when the TV is in use.
What you need
- A Windows 10 or 11 PC or laptop
- Your IPTV UK GO login details
- An up-to-date web browser
Step-by-step setup
- Choose how you want to watch: in the web player (if included with your plan) or a desktop player app.
- For the web player, open the link in your welcome message in Chrome, Edge or Firefox.
- For a desktop app, download it only from the official developer website or the Microsoft Store.
- Sign in with your login details.
- Select a channel or title and press play. Use full screen for the best picture.

Recommended settings
- Plug your laptop into mains power – battery saver can reduce video performance.
- Use an HDMI cable to show the picture on a TV.
Troubleshooting
- Video will not play in the browser: update the browser and disable ad-blocking extensions for the player page.
- Channels will not load: close the app completely, restart your router and device, then try again.
- Login error: check your username and password carefully – they are case sensitive and easy to mistype with a TV remote.
- Buffering: use a wired connection if you can, or move your router closer. See how to reduce buffering.
- TV guide is empty: refresh or reload the EPG in the app settings and wait a few minutes for it to download.
