BT and EE TV are back with another tempting offer – and this time, they’ve gone for the dramatic approach with half-price deals on some of their most popular TV bundles, for a limited time.
If you’ve been eyeing up EE TV’s Big Entertainment or premium Full Works plan, you’re in luck – they’re available at substantial discounts until June 19, 2025.
But as always with these deals, there’s more to consider than just the headline price.
EE TV: The Quick Backstory
For those who haven’t been keeping up, EE TV is essentially what used to be BT TV before a rebranding exercise in 2023 (both EE and BT are owned by the same parent company).
Since then, whether you’re a BT Broadband customer or an EE broadband customer, the pay-TV services you can subscribe to come from EE.
The platform offers subscribers a choice between two main devices – the EE TV Pro Box (a 4K/HDR YouView-based box with Freeview recording and streaming capabilities) or the EE-branded Apple TV 4K box.
Both let you watch many Freeview channels without an aerial, though the YouView box also lets you record programmes, and you can connect an aerial to it for a larger selection of channels.
What makes EE TV somewhat unique is its “flexible” bundle model – you can switch between different TV packages every 30 days during your contract.
Want entertainment for a few months, then sports during football season? No problem. The catch? You’ll need to be a BT or EE broadband customer with a 24-month contract.
The Half-Price Summer Deals
So, what exactly are they offering this time around? Let’s take a look at the discounted bundles (which – remember – come attached to BT’s broadband deals) –
The Big Entertainment Bundle – £15/month for 6 months
This package bundles together:
- NOW Entertainment (with Sky Atlantic, Sky Max and other Sky channels)
- NOW Cinema (with Sky’s movie channels)
- Netflix Standard with Ads (Full HD but with those pesky adverts)
- Discovery+ Basic (without sports content)
- The EE TV 4K Pro Box or Apple TV 4K EE Box
You’ll pay just £15/month for the first 6 months (down from the usual £30/month), then revert to the normal pricing. Additionally, as with most broadband and TV companies, prices increase automatically every year.
So, after the first 6 months, you’ll be paying:
- £30/month until March 31, 2026
- £32/month from March 31, 2026
- £34/month from March 31, 2027
Again, please keep in mind that the half-price is only for the first six months, and then pay full price for the remainder of your 24-month contract.
That’s a total saving of £90 over the course of your contract.
The Full Works Plan – £25/month for 3 months
This is the kitchen sink option (which used to be called The VIP Plan), including:
- NOW Entertainment Membership
- NOW Cinema Membership
- NOW Boost (for Full HD and ad-free on-demand content)
- Netflix Standard Plan (Full HD, no adverts)
- All 4 TNT Sports channels (with integrated Eurosport content)
- NOW Sky Sports (all 11 channels including Sky Sports+)
- Discovery+ Premium
- The EE TV 4K Pro Box or Apple TV 4K EE Box
You’ll pay just £25/month for 3 months (down from a whopping £80/month), then:
- £80/month until March 31, 2026
- £82/month from March 31, 2026
- £84/month from March 31, 2027
That’s a hefty £165 discount during the initial period.
It’s worth noting that the other TV bundles – the basic Entertainment package (£20/month), Sport (£23/month) and Big Sport (£48/month) – aren’t included in this promotion and remain at their regular prices.
However, all TV bundles currently come with no upfront installation payments.
BT Broadband Offers
Of course, since you can’t get EE TV without broadband from EE or BT, they’re also running some broadband offers until June 19.
All their current deals include free setup and P&P, plus various virtual reward cards depending on the package:
- Fibre 1 (50Mb): £26.99/month for 24 months with a £50 Virtual Reward Card
- Full Fibre 100 (150Mb): £29.99/month for 24 months with a £60 Virtual Reward Card
- Full Fibre 900 (900Mb): £44.99/month for 24 months with a £100 Virtual Reward Card
There are other speed options available too – you can check BT’s availability with their postcode checker.
So, Are These Deals Any Good?
I’m not a fan of long TV contracts in general – they go against the flexibility that cord-cutting is supposed to offer. That said, if you were going to sign up for BT/EE broadband anyway, these deals are worth considering.
Let’s do some quick maths to see if they make financial sense:
Big Entertainment Value Check
If you were to subscribe to these services separately:
- NOW Entertainment membership: £9.99/month (If you pay full price)
- NOW Cinema membership: £9.99/month
- Netflix Standard with Ads: £5.99/month
- Discovery+ Basic: £3.99/month
That’s roughly £30/month if purchased individually – and that’s without a TV box that lets you watch and record Freeview channels (or the Apple TV box).
So at £15/month for six months, you’re genuinely getting a good deal – half price for everything, plus the hardware. Even after the promotional period, you’re essentially getting the EE TV box for “free” compared to subscribing to everything separately.
Over the course of a 24-month contract, you’ll save £90 with this offer compared to the regular price – not life-changing, but not bad either.
Full Works Plan Reality Check
The Full Works plan at £25/month for 3 months is where things get more interesting – that’s less than a third of its regular £80/month price.
If you were to cobble together all these services separately:
- NOW Entertainment, Cinema and Boost: around £26/month
- Netflix Standard (no ads): £12.99/month
- Discovery+ Premium (with TNT Sports): £30.99/month
- NOW Sky Sports: approximately £26/month (depending on the deal you get)
You’re looking at over £90/month without even counting the TV box. So at £25/month, you’re getting a cracking deal for those first 3 months.
The problem? It’s only for 3 months. After that, you’re locked into paying £80/month for the remaining 21 months of your contract.
Over the 24-month period, you’ll save £165 compared to the regular price – which sounds good until you realise you’re still spending over £1,800 on TV over two years – and you’re in a 24-month contract.
The Inevitable Fine Print
A few things to bear in mind before signing up:
- You’re committing to a 24-month contract for both TV and broadband
- While you can switch between TV bundles (every 30 days), you can’t cancel the TV service completely without breaking your contract
- Prices will increase annually every March (as mentioned above)
- The biggest savings come during those initial promotional periods
These EE TV offers make the most sense if:
- You were already planning to switch to BT broadband
- You want multiple streaming services and don’t mind being locked in
- You need a way to watch (and with the Pro box, record) Freeview without an aerial
- You’re comfortable with longer contracts in exchange for initial savings
The Big Entertainment bundle, with its 6-month discount period, offers better long-term value than the Full Works plan with its shorter 3-month promotion.
That said, if you’re a sports fan who was going to subscribe to all these services anyway, even the Full Works plan could save you some cash compared to subscribing separately – just be sure you’re happy with that £80/month bill for most of your contract.
As always with these deals, it pays to do the maths based on what you actually need, rather than being dazzled by the headline discount.
