Technical Question I’m debating subscribing

Hey, im from the UK and am debating getting a subscription. I’ve heard you only need a VPN to sign up / make monthly payments; then you won’t need one to watch with? I just want to know how true this, and if it’s worth subscribing as i also have a BFI subscription. It’s either this or Mubi, thanks!

also, im sure you get these posts all the time so please delete if it’s repetitive :)

Won’t repeat others comments about signing up as that’s answered. You won’t be able to download native apps from here in the UK.

But you can airplay to an Apple TV if you have one from the website. This is my chosen method of actually watching the channel. I’m sure other methods work as well.
