Saving money on your TV deal thread
 
Something that's always been popular on Cable Forum is people posting about the latest TV deals available to consumers from Virgin Media, SKY, TalkTalk, Netflix etc...

I've always found these posts to be a great source of information and debate especially for those thinking of switching provider, cord cutting, downsizing or simply trying to get the best value possible. The only problem is these posts tend to be all over the place in other threads and can be a little difficult to find or keep on top of.

Thought it would be a good idea to start a thread where people can post about the latest TV / streaming deals they've seen advertised.

I'll get the ball rolling.

"Buy two promotional packs of Pringles from Tesco and get a free Sky Sports Day Pass. You get to watch all 7 Sky Sports channels, while saving £6.99. "

http://help.nowtv.com/article/Pringl...rts-Pass-offer

Tesco are currently selling 2 tubes of the promo Pringles for £2.00. SKY Sports day pass for £2.00 is not bad, especially if you enjoy Pringles :D

Yes, but it was a one day only offer. Maybe it will be repeated around the country leading up to Christmas?

I am seriously thinking of keeping my broadband but getting rid of the TV & TiVo - I can get by with my Now TV box and save a packet... its a shame as I have been with Cable Camden / Cable London / TeleWest / VirginMedia since 1993 :(

Good deal. don't forget it includes Prime music now (number of tracks wise, not in the Spotify league, but pretty good in my opinion) plus the free next day delivery etc. New Prime members only though.

Just wish Prime Music worked on Sonos , frustrating when you've invested in numerous speakers around the home.:(

Edit: This sounds more promising :)

Just need Apple Music added now.:D

Just realised not everything is free with Amazon Prime. You still have to pay for some films. TV shows.

Yeah it may also have been an 18 month contract, last 6 months at normal price?

NOW TV are offering 14 day free trial of their Entertainment Pass for new customers.

http://www.nowtv.com/entertainment?D...targeting-ents

A great chance to binge watch SKY Atlantic shows like Game of Thrones, Penny Dreadful, The Knick, The Leftovers and Entourage for free!

Talk Talk are offering SKY Sports free for 1 month, then £15 a month for 17 months to new customers. They are also offering SKY Movies free for 1 month, then £7.50 a month for 17 months. Their Entertainment Extra package, which is 60 channels on top of Freeview, is half price (£5.00) for 18 months.

They are offering some seriously good deals over an 18 month period.

Is that all of the Sky Sports channels?

presumably in SD?

denphone 02-12-2015 12:53

l would imagine its just in SD.

It's all 6 channels but only in SD. Don't think there is the option to take SKY channels in HD with Talk Talk.

Must admit I'm seriously mulling it over. My deal is coming to an end soon with SKY. If I don't get any offer my package will be roughly £77.00 per month.

An almost like for like package from Talk Talk is £47.70 per month. Ok so I'll lose a lot of HD channels, plenty of niche channels and on demand content but everything that is essential to us is there. The deal with Talk Talk also includes a free mobile sim for 100 mins, 250 texts and 200mb of data. Not monster amounts I know but would suit my needs. My sim currently costs £10.00 per month.

All in a potential saving of £40.00 per month.

I'm in the same boat right now, mulling over what to do next.

That's so it is more comprehensive. They can't make it free if someone else holds the rights.

There is a tremendous amount on there that is free, though; more than you are likely to get through in a year I would have thought, even if you spent all your viewing time on it!

Great offer on at the moment with NOW TV. Joint Entertainment & Movie pass for 6 months only £49.99:
