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

Re: Saving money on your TV deal thread

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.

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!
