Nobody in Aberdeen should hand over money for telly they have not seen working in their own sitting room. That is the point of a 24-hour trial: no card, no account, no contract. Put it up against Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership, plus the Champions League and the rest of the European nights and judge it on what you actually see.
Local viewing guide
Aberdeen at Pittodrie is one of Scottish football's genuine institutions, with a European history the club's support has not forgotten and a ground right on the North Sea that is as cold as it sounds in midwinter. The Dons are the clear focus of the north east. Being a considerable distance from the central belt, Aberdeen households watch far more away fixtures from home than supporters in Glasgow or Edinburgh do. The oil industry has also given the city an unusually international population with corresponding demand for channels from elsewhere. Between Scottish league coverage, which sits differently to English coverage, and that international demand, a single conventional package rarely covers what a household here wants.
Aberdeen has reasonable coverage across the city and out through Bridge of Don, Cults, Dyce and towards Westhill, though the wider north east and rural Aberdeenshire is considerably more variable. The city's granite tenement stock across the centre carries the same installation restrictions as Glasgow's and Edinburgh's, with conservation considerations in parts. The oil industry has given the city an unusually international and mobile population, often on fixed-term contracts and short lets, with genuine demand for channels from elsewhere. That combination is the distinctive thing here. Check both the Scottish league coverage and the international channels during the trial, because neither can be assumed from the other.
Spend the 24 hours on what you would genuinely miss. For Aberdeen that means Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership. Load the guide early, find the channel, and be sitting down at kick-off rather than judging it on an afternoon repeat. Short of being at Pittodrie on a cold night, this is how most of the parish ends up watching it.
Connection check
Worth knowing before you start: good city coverage, with the shire relying more on fixed wireless. Reckon on 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K. Sky Sports and Premier Sports carry Scottish football. If the house in Aberdeen is streaming on three devices at once, that is the moment to check your speed.
Setup
The usual worry in Aberdeen is the setup rather than the price. There is no dish, no engineer visit and no new box to buy. It runs on the smart telly, Firestick or Android box already in the room, and a real person walks you through it on WhatsApp while you do it.
Message us your name and a WhatsApp number. Nothing else, and no card.
Your login comes back in the same chat, normally in a few minutes.
We stay with you while you set it up on your own telly, Firestick or box.
Watch for a full day, then decide. There is nothing on file, so nothing renews.
Never. There is no card field and no account to create. Message us, get your login, watch for 24 hours in Aberdeen, and walk away if it does not suit you.
No. That is one of the main reasons people in Aberdeen switch. No dish on the wall, no installation window to wait in, and no new box to pay for on top of the subscription.
The library includes the Scottish Premiership coverage, so if a Aberdeen game falls inside your 24 hours you can check it on your own telly. Rights and fixtures move around between seasons, so testing it on a real match night is the only honest way to know.
About 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K. Good city coverage, with the shire relying more on fixed wireless. Test during the evening peak rather than the middle of the day, because that is when the line is under load.
Nothing automatic. There is no card on file, so nothing renews and nothing is charged. If you want to carry on, The Taster is £85 once for 10 months and The Owner is £255 once for lifetime access on one device, both with a 90-day money-back promise.
The same free trial applies wherever you are. If one of these is closer, start there.
