About this deal
Update 1
Updated
Hi all, i've previously collated some offers/freebies on video offers, and as more and more paid for streaming services increase costs and/or added adverts into their models, thought it would be worthwhile collating again, sharing new offers, info and freebies.
Obviously most know about BBC iPlayer, ITVX etc but below are the 'main' streaming offers, some which currently have some offers, so hopefully save you some cash along the way also!
If i've missed any workarounds /offers/codes on the ones below, please comment and i'll review, when i can.
Thanks in advance
Also huge credit to those members who've posted said offers!
Please remember to cancel, before your trial is up otherwise you'll be charged. Unless of course, you want to keep the service(s)
Note: Please avoid mentioning about 'Sailing the Seven Seas' or Illegal streams/IPTV etc as this will very likely get removed, as goes against rules/terms.

I foolishly bought it as a gift for a friend.
Tried the free trial and didn't use it once, not a single movie streamed.
Completely forgot on account of having a life at the time.
2 years later noticed recurring charges, and they would ONLY refund 2 months!
They were "kind" enough to gift the balance to that same friend so someone would actually get use of the credit.
Horrible company.

CEX has an A grade Freesat box for £100( non recordable)
It's not perfect but it's comparable to Sky
Live TV, EPG, all the normal streaming services
It was a no brainer for me.... (edited)
Tesco Clubcard also has Disney+ Standard With Ads, £7.50 of your Tesco Clubcard vouchers for 3 months access. Worth mentioning for those without enough Clubcard vouchers for the higher standard tier or those wanting to save some £'s and are fine with ads - I have this ready to use from when my current Premium subscription expires on May 9th 2024.
Also, on the Disney+ website, it says that for changing to a higher tier plan "You will be charged a pro rata amount for the first month or year of your new plan, minus the amount of the remainder of your previous payment period. After that, you will be charged the new price on a monthly or yearly basis for the life of your subscription from the next payment date." - does anyone know if this applies when using a prepaid Tesco Clubcard 3 months access code or will the higher plan just kick in and be charged once the 3 months have finished?
Can anyone please advise what the Disney+ ads are like? Netflix ads look like this:
As much as I despise paying for adverts, I honestly don't find the Netflix ads that bad. Last night I was hit with a 30 seconds advert throughout a 1 hour show.
Does Disney+ show you when ads are scheduled? Netflix has some yellow markers on the progress bar (see in image below) - I have no idea what these are for. I assumed they were for scheduled ad breaks but I didn't receive a single advert during the session this screenshot is from!
Thank you!

You can also use invidious servers, and even add it to front ends. Like freetube etc...

Italian TV in Italian language. It can be used as a get around for certain premium rated sports events. It would show Tour de France live, whereas BBC only had highlights, or Sky wanted a second mortgage.

Xumo play.
Works on android for sure. Requires US location.
.
Tubi.
Requires US location, and turning off your adblocker. If using Surfshark then you have to turn off CleanWeb.

Greed, that's all it is... Places like Netflix have no need to charge more, they are multi million pound corporations.
For some reason they think we want these wokey rehashed poorly done Netflix shows and want to charge people extra to watch...
And as for adverts, these services are turning into the very same thing they were designed to compete with.
Not had it for a few years now due to the sheer ads on there
A channel of ad supported movies that changes frequently.
Think there may have been a £35 activation fee also but far and away it's the cheapest way to get it if you have Virgin Broadband without any extra costs.
Does anyone know if any of the steaming services mentioned above have those on, like paramount plus or discovery+ for example.
We have a VPN so can change location to USA, just need to know which service they are on before I sign up.
P.s. To HUKD moderators it's a perfectly legitimate app (edited)
