    Cheapish way to get tnt/discovery: if you have BT/EE broadband, you get 30% off an EE mobile sub, and a boost to unlimited data. If you then get the cheapest all-rounder plan 5GB plan at £26, that reduces to £18, you get data boosted to unlimited for having broadband, and you can add the full discovery+ premium as an inclusive extra - that means discovery channels, eurosport, and TNT.

    Only really worth it for champion's league on TNT of course, but that's £20ish per month normally so not bad. (edited)
    AdamBrunt's avatar
    The days when BT Sport came free with any BT broadband package were happy days indeed 😁
  2. Digitaleclipse's avatar
    Thanks for creating this list. What do people think of PlutoTV? Freevee is quite good but wondered whether it was worth installing the PlutoTV app
    Nick747a's avatar
    Uk pluto is alright but put a usa vpn on you get great shows
  3. anjali12's avatar
    For Amazon freeview do we need tv licence and can we watch via Google Chromecast
    dani80's avatar
    No. Only need a licence if you watch live TV on any platform or are using bbc iplayer

    Lionsgate is closing down early next year.
  5. computerguy234's avatar
    I switched to Lloyds Bank for the Disney+ but it's the version with ads
    cj123825's avatar
    Wow I never knew that. I'll be switching my benefits soon!

    Probably should be added to the Disney+ section above!
  6. teddyedward1's avatar
    Useful list, thx. I find some good stuff on Freevee. Does anyone else find ITVX painfully slow at loading & operating. Have they done it on purpose to make you pay for the premium service???
    Jusnamb's avatar
    Apparently people have started to cancel the premium after finding out you can fast forward the adds without subscription.
  7. Doug_'s avatar
    Some options were suggested a few months ago in the following discussion,

    hotukdeals.com/dis…371

    The JustWatch app helps you find where many shows are available to stream. (edited)
  8. Cherryton's avatar
    There is also Crunchyroll (over 30,000 episodes!)
    If Anime and Manga is your thing you will probably already know about it.

    You also get some games and music content

    Plans are:
    Free trial for 14 days
    £4.99/£5.99 per month
    (£59.99/year)
    All prices include VAT.

    If you are in the USA I believe you can add it for free to your Amazon Prime streaming. (Despite the appearance it's a USA (Silicone Vally) based corporation!

    crunchyroll.com

    Also do not forget Freeview and Freeview play.
    With the cost of subscription services it is refreshing to find FREE content

    There is also Britbox:
    Free trial for 7 days then £5.99/ monthor £59.99/ Year

    Can you stream through a browser? 

    tough times for ITV. Looks like new thing is loads of free channels add free (loads out there) So competition rising All the premium stuff on subscription. Obviously the bbc will be ok because of their model (edited)
  10. ashman33's avatar
    Any news on the EE tv offerings? An app appeared on my phone. They rebranded all the BT TV packages but I think they are doing some new set top boxes 
    simonp99's avatar
    My old BT TV dtr4000 box got a flash of green paint they don't seem to have fixed any of the miriad of long standing usability problems though, and still no way to even install YouTube.
  11. MoneySavingAmateur's avatar
    A useful app for searching what service a specific film is available through is 'JustWatch'. You tell it what services you have and search for a film or show and it showed you where it's available, or where you can buy it.
  12. Angie_Burrows's avatar
    I just use bee tv or filmplus both apps are free to use

    Stremio from Google Play with the addons Torrentio and Cyberflix Catalog. A Real Debrid sub of around £2 a month is highly recommended.
    Have a look on Reddit for a simpletons guide.
    Easiest way I found was to set it up on my laptop, then download it onto other devices and sign in. I have it running on Firesticks, laptop and android devices.
    You can thank me later

    👀 Shhhh!
  17. darren_hooker's avatar
    It's OK I've sussed it out now.. You have to download the app to watch the content..
  18. sydney871's avatar
    Thanks op for lots of research. One small suggestion is that it would be useful to point out which of these is only for new subscribers and what tricks one can use to get round this.
    For example, Amazon Prime 30 days is only free for new subscribers and anyone who's had it before will probably only get one week's free prime. A workaround could be to create a new account which may just be an email address and maybe a new credit card....

    Tubi with a VPN is a great streaming app, it's ad supported but has loads of content, especially good for horror movies.

    Shudder is also good for horror, you can get a free trial
    theballboy's avatar

    Amazon have bricked thousands of fire devices after an update they sent out. They are stuck on the amazon load up screen and will not connect in the internet This has been happening for months. Amazonforum staff suggest contacting CS in the US, even after informing them I am in the UK. CS say a fix is being worked on and offer a very small discount for a new device (Really)? How can they send a fix, when the devices cannot connect to the internet...And yes all suggestions to connect/fix have been tried. Only fit for the bin now and will be purchasing an android box.
    They don't offer a refund for all the time prime services cannot be accessed.
    theballboy's avatar
    Maybe Roku is the way forward?
  26. gakem11's avatar

  27. TrackDeals's avatar
    Vodafone VeryMe has 6 months free for Discovery+ as well. Mods won't let me add it as a deal. May be worth mentioning here.

    I'd google how to get netflix with a vpn. I pay less than £3pm for the £17.99 package. And I'd use a vpn called tunnel bear as its free with county select options.

    I won't write a walkthrough as its well documented online, thank me later....
