Changing telly in Leicester normally means signing first and finding out second. We do it the other way round. Twenty-four hours on your own telly, no card, no account, a real person on WhatsApp if the setup gives trouble, and Leicester City in the Premier League, plus the Champions League and the rest of the European nights waiting to be tested.
Local viewing guide
Leicester is a city where three professional sports genuinely compete for attention. Leicester City at the King Power, Leicester Tigers at Welford Road with one of the strongest followings in English rugby, and Leicestershire cricket at Grace Road. Very few British cities carry that spread. Leicester also has one of the largest South Asian communities in the country, and demand for international and subcontinental cricket here is substantial and poorly served by standard domestic packages. For a household in this city the useful question is not whether a service carries the football, which most do in some form, but whether it also handles Premiership rugby and the cricket that people here actually want to watch.
Leicester has reasonable coverage across the city and out through Oadby, Wigston and towards Loughborough. The inner areas around Belgrave and Highfields have dense terraced stock, much of it rented, where a fixed installation is often impractical. The city has a large student population and one of the most internationally mixed populations in England. That last point is the important one for testing here. Given the genuine demand for international and subcontinental cricket alongside football and Premiership rugby, the useful 24 hours is spent confirming the cricket and the rugby specifically, since the football is the part almost any service will cover in some form.
The honest test in Leicester is not whether the menus look tidy. It is whether Leicester City in the Premier League come through cleanly at kick-off. Find those channels on your first evening and give them a proper look. Nothing at home matches the King Power on a midweek night, but the picture should still do the night justice.
Connection check
About the line in Leicester: widespread cable, and a large South Asian community who often want subcontinental channels alongside the football. Ten Mbps or so covers HD and 25 Mbps covers 4K. Sky Sports and TNT Sports, with rugby on TNT. Test it at nine on a weeknight rather than at noon, since the evening is when a stream has to prove itself.
Setup
If you are already with Sky or Virgin Media in Leicester, do not cancel a thing yet. Run the trial alongside what you have, compare the two on the same match, and only decide once you have watched Leicester City on both. That is precisely why we do not take a card.
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 Leicester, and walk away if it does not suit you.
No. That is one of the main reasons people in Leicester 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 Premier League coverage, so if a Leicester City 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. Widespread cable, and a large South Asian community who often want subcontinental channels alongside the football. Test during the evening peak rather than the middle of the day, because that is when the line is under load.
Nothing happens unless you ask it to. With no card stored there is nothing to renew. Carrying on is a one-off payment: £85 for The Taster and 10 months, or £255 for The Owner and 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.
