Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SatChannels at 3.8 against The TV UK's 1.0. SatChannels also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 1). The TV UK's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SatChannels holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SatChannels has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of The TV UK's written reviews are positive against 0% of SatChannels's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The TV UK ships an update every 3 months, SatChannels every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
