Along with many other things at the moment, the cost of viewing pleasure is climbing with the likes of Sky and Virgin media costing well over a hundred pounds a month in some cases. But what can we do it about?

We can be brave and ask for that cancellations department.

In many scenarios the company will be back offering you a special deal to rejoin in a matter of weeks, but some people are fed up of that cycle, so have successfully looked for other ways to be able watch their favourite programmes. You can get your live TV through your aerial, if you have a new smart TV that has Freeview and then for you films, series and catch ups.....

....streaming is the 2022 answer. Yes the option has been around for a good few years, but the options to add apps to smart TV's get better and more plentiful with every month that passes! Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime, Now, Apple TV, YouTube, CinemaNow... the list goes on.... BritBox, Discovery + ... see what we mean?

So what equipment do you need to make to make the leap and never look back?

You need fast broadband, so if yours is struggling or doesn't reach all of the house, do get in touch with us and we will look at how a broadband booster will help you! Without this your streaming could break up and buffer so it could be the most important factor to get right. We can also create you a wired connection from your router to ensure the best possible picture too.

You also need a device to stream on, be that a smart TV as mentioned, or computer. You can also get a Google Chromecast or Amazon Prime Firestick, if your TV is a little older and you don't want to upgrade. If you struggle with any of this, or want a new TV wall hanging, then do get in touch.

And finally you need to choose your perfect streaming service or services to subscribe to. However, priced at between £4.99 and £7.99 a month, you could have multiple ones and still be saving lots of money every month!

So happy streaming, and if you see us in the pub, you can buy us a pint to say thank you for the advice!!
