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

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

Re: Saving money on your TV deal thread

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.
