Nobody in Derby 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 Derby County in the EFL, plus the Champions League and the rest of the European nights and judge it on what you actually see.
Local viewing guide
Derby County at Pride Park and the East Midlands derby with Nottingham Forest give the city its defining fixture, and the rivalry is one of the more genuinely bitter ones in English football. Derby's recent years across different divisions have made local supporters very familiar with how thin coverage becomes outside the top flight. The city also sits close to Leicester and Nottingham, so the East Midlands as a whole has a dense concentration of clubs and rivalries within a short radius. For a household here the useful question is whether a service carries the divisions their club is actually in, rather than the one it used to be in, which is precisely what a day's trial answers.
Derby has decent coverage across the city and out through Allestree, Mickleover, Chaddesden and towards Belper. Housing is a mix of terraced inner stock with a significant rented share and suburban family areas where installation is more straightforward. The city has a substantial manufacturing workforce and a university with the usual short-lease population. The specific test here is the divisional one that runs through the whole East Midlands: the club has moved between divisions in recent years, and coverage differs sharply depending on which one. Confirm the fixtures actually being played this season are carried, rather than assuming from a service's top-flight coverage.
In East Midlands, the fixtures that decide whether a service is worth keeping are Derby County in the EFL. Check those first. Load the guide, find the game, and see whether the picture holds at kick-off rather than taking anyone's word for it. The East Midlands derby with Nottingham Forest is the sort of fixture worth planning the trial around. It will never be Pride Park, though on a good line it comes closer than you would think.
Connection check
Worth knowing before you start: well covered by cable and fibre. Reckon on 10 Mbps for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K. Sky Sports carries most EFL fixtures. If the house in Derby is streaming on three devices at once, that is the moment to check your speed.
Setup
The usual worry in Derby 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.
You do not need one. We ask for a name and a WhatsApp number and nothing more. No card means no accidental renewal, which is usually the part people in Derby want reassurance about.
No. That is one of the main reasons people in Derby 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 EFL coverage, so if a Derby County 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. Well covered by cable and fibre. Test during the evening peak rather than the middle of the day, because that is when the line is under load.
The login simply stops working. Nothing renews, because we hold no payment details for Derby customers or anyone else. To continue, The Taster costs £85 once and covers 10 months, or The Owner costs £255 once for lifetime access on one device. Both carry a 90-day money-back promise.
The same free trial applies wherever you are. If one of these is closer, start there.
