There’s certainly no shortage of TV channels to watch nowadays. That said, if you’re not careful, you can end up spending a small fortune on pricey subscription-based packages – and you might not even get good value for money.
However, you don’t have to bust your budget to catch the best shows and movies. By searching for the most competitive viewing offers, you can keep your spending in check while tuning into the latest entertainment programmes, and more. You can take this a step further by seeking out LED TV deals which include a built in subscription package. As well as being super-sleek, LED televisions are energy-efficient, and cheap to run, Tesco offer one of the best ranges of LED’s.
Chromecast
If you’re looking for a no thrills, inexpensive media streaming adapter; it’s worth taking a look at the Google Chromecast. Costing just £30, the device looks like a USB memory stick, but connects to your TV via the HDMI port. It enables you to stream movies and shows from a range of sources, including Netflix, YouTube, Google Play, Vevo, Red Bull TV and BBC iPlayer.
Roku
Alternatively, perhaps you’d prefer to turn to Roku; this California-based company sells set-top boxes and small dongles called Streaming Sticks that cost between £39.99 and £99.99. The devices provide you with access to over 750 channels, including Netflix, Sky Sports, BBC iPlayer and Demand 4.
Now TV
When it comes to non-contract on demand viewing, it’s hard to beat Now TV. Powered by Sky TV, it offers a highly tailored service that you can quit at any time. Targeted at people who want to avoid the commitment of a pay TV contract, it allows you to choose from dedicated movie, TV and sports strands, and it also offers live channel streams.
You can access Now TV via both Chromecast and Roku, or you can buy a Now TV Box for £9.99.
By doing a little research, it’s easy to find a range of alternatives to expensive subscription-based TV services, meaning you can watch your favourite movies and shows without stretching your finances.
